It’s been some time since I came across an “armor” so pointy, underbooby and uncovering all the vital parts. Truly a magnificent beast among the generic “sex sells” character designs.

We referenced AutoBattle once before, but didn’t get the opportunity to talk about their super creative
and totally equal
character and costume designs.
They broke a bingo, so they don’t get a Vegeta gif.
I’m so moved… the void of absolute fantasy genericness and blatant double standards that Spirit Stones left behind is filled at last!
Apparently that bingoed lady elf’s body, particularly the holes in her armor, were used as a backdrop on the game’s site [source].
How classy!

A Dark Knight from Black Desert Online. It’s so incredible generic and dreadful.
I do get the feeling that Black Desert Online crew does more research looking through Lady Gaga’s wardrobe than any textbook. Sadly this doesn’t make them unique in the slightest, just perhaps the most blatant. (x)
Of course, Lady Gaga is trying to get attention through some combination of shock and novelty, and is hopefully not expecting to get trapped in mortal combat at any moment.

Sad part is, this spandex chainmail/cleavage-y cardigan set is possibly the best (and least physics-defying) female armor we’ve seen from TERA.

Some ‘beauties’ from Game of War: Fire Age.
Male armour thrown in for comparison >_>
Also the top left one has that weird metal armour that moves with her as she breathes (And when she breathes her boobs expand)
Game of War – because why have design quality when you can just have the most expensive ad campaigns and create a game where the main source of revenue is letting the richest 1-3% bully the other players.

Chandra Nalaar’s costume never ceases to amaze us in how unapologetically it ignores even the most basic things about how armor (or any material involved in making it) works.
Let’s once again list all the nonsense here that goes beyond the usual sexualized armor tropes:
- bared thighs which contradict armoring all the other body parts
- skin-tight chainmail that also includes mail turtleneck
- boobplate somehow placed on top of said spandex chainmail
- loincloth that conveniently never flies up to display her crotch… and doesn’t catch on fire
