hey artists: if you google “feminine armour” instead of “female armour” you’ll get awesome-looking practical armour that is still feminine instead of boob cups
I have to admit, when I did the search the results were not entirely free of ridiculous boob cups and other offences, but it certainly did improve the results.

“Or the artists just want to draw her in skimpy armor and that’s ok? How about you just don’t look at that art, let them do what they’re doing, and appreciate the character regardless." like no offense but if you wanna draw a female wow character in bikini plate you will not run into much of a shortage, is expressing annoyance with artists who cant even draw one woman in full armor when that’s clearly how she designed really that much of an infringement upon artistic freedom & integrity or whatever. is it really worth this level of defensiveness
Words of truth regarding the tired old ”creative freedom“ (a.k.a. ”leave the artists alooone!“) argument for defending bikini armors. Bolding mine.

Give me a videogame with an option for skimpy bikini armor on both genders but if you wear it your character dies really easily so you have to be really skilled at the game in order to play with said armor
filipfatalattractionrblog proposed something similar once, with skimpy armor making you more vulnerable, but gaining you stamina-based accomplishments.
I really wanna see such mechanic employed in a big name mainstream game.

In before people start citing a bunch of RPG-type games where you can remove your gear: It’s not the same as having actual gear that showcases the absurd extra danger of bikini armor within the mechanics. Even if it diminishes general stats.
It’s just not the same for really highlighting how exposed that gear would make you, and gives you suitable feedback for overcoming it.
