“Women should be respected and accepted as they are, don’t shame them regardless of what they look like and what they wear. Do whatever you want, ladies!”
*virtual ladies in bikinis*
“Um, this is infringing on my rights. How dare you? Keep this misogynistic filth away from me.”

Do you not understand the difference between a fictional character, created by men, to be seen as sexually pleasing for men in fiction and…like…REAL WOMEN who are ALIVE and are able to make CHOICES for themselves? 

Like, women have some key differences with fictional depictions of women. 

Ah agency, one of so many issues that bikini armor apologists work so hard to avoid understanding.  Of course, it doesn’t help that there’s a trend with developers to try to have it both ways and insult their creations for being… how they created them.

I’ve been playing some Elsword recently, and I decided that I couldn’t leave this un-bingoed. The elf is Rena in Night Watcher form, one of her advanced class options. No bingo, but pretty close.

I feel like her hair, the cape, and that weird belt-overskirt thing must get in the way a lot.

It’s amazing how a design this busy can be also that lazy and generic. So many details and needless accessories, yet not a single drop of genuine creativity was poured into that costume. 

Just a “Draw a naked animu elf girl with marbles on her chest, paint the mandatory and optional areas from this chart green, add as many belts, feathers and flowy fabric to trip over as possible. Don’t forget to make her hold her weapon entirely wrong.” approach. And that’s a high-end “armor” in this game? Creative freedom, everyone!
