Posts I won’t be making

Since the blog almost doubled in popularity since last week, I’ve been getting the same types of asks and submissions, and as far as I’m grateful for attention from you, dear readers, I’ll try to explain why submissions below aren’t what I’m looking for:

Here’s another one for your Skyrim collection.www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30616/

voqurnen-jovein submitted:

Another one for Skyrim… this is actually pretty skimpy armor if you really look at it (sideboob, low slung chainmail over leather underwear), but.

officialryanlewis asked bikiniarmorbattledamage:

You’ve probably already gotten opinions on it, but the female armor in the elder scrolls games is the best because it’s exactly like the male armor. Like there is no difference.

kiwi-disu asked:

I know you’ve brought up Skyrim before but if I may interject one thing I found while browsing YT, the Evil Lair of Hydra mod. Now this may just be a kink thing but it’s very.. unsettling. It’s a dungeon filled with tons of naked women waiting to be killed, most of them in chains,with nooses around their necks, on torture tables, strapped to a post being stabbed, chained on top of a fire, in a battle arena, laying unconscious on a bed, etc. It just doesn’t sit right with me.. : /

ululato asked:

Hi there! Can’t believe I’ve only just found this blog, it’s awesome! Just wondering what you guys think of the armor sets in Guild Wars 2?

dan-heron asked:

Say, have you seen stuff from Capcom’s Monster Hunter? They have 4 types for each armor, male/female and sword fighter/gunner. While there are some obviously fanservice exclusive for females, there are also some nice surprises like full concealing and bulky armor, or more surprisingly the same fanservice for male armors, like chest and midriff exposed and using short shorts

cat-nip-cartel submitted:

Guild Wars 2

does this count as a positive example? i mean /most/ of the female armour is structured the same as the male armor aside from vagueboobplates. at least with the heavy armor anyway!

So, for the future reference:

Please do not send me just bare examples of badly dressed warrior women. This blog is not just collecting examples. Best place for that would be repair-her-armor, where they are collected for reference for future fixes.
Do not ask me if I find a certain game counts as a good or bad example. Chances are, I’m not familiar with it, so best I could do is to ask readers for their opinions.
Or, if the game is Elder Scrolls V, I talked about it already a few times and you can check the Skyrim tag.
If you want to quantify how questionable any female armor is, compare it with BABD bingo card as a reference.

Things Bikini Armor Battle Damage is devoted to are:

Poking fun at sexist female warrior costume designs (preferably by putting them in realistic scenarios).
Analyzing and commenting on the inherent design flaws of sexist warrior costumes (that doesn’t mean I’ll review every armor design you link to me)
Providing resources on armor design (especially armor for women).
Highlighting examples of fully-protected female warriors and realistic scenarios for fighting half-naked.

^Please try to keep your submissions and questions generally within above rules.

PS: kiwi-disu, please check the mods tag. I already discussed how mods should be judged separately from the games, as they’re user-made and, as disgusting as some are, they do not represent the game makers’ opinions or choices.
