@sunfishfusions submitted (and Ozzie bingo’d):

Super new to Tumblr and my first time submitting anything but I felt like this is something that belongs on this blog (sorry if it’s already been shared)

I was trying to stream some cartoons online and these were the ads on the sidebar. I love how they put the male characters right next to the female ones for ease of comparison. 

Their homepage didn’t really make me feel any better about their character design…

I don’t know about those women, but I really woudn’t want to “come to the defense of Eremos!” without something that might actually… oh… I don’t know…

PROTECT ME FROM LITERALLY ANYTHING.

I think you got those the same way I found Dragon Knigh(t) ads. It’s kinda impressive how many bingo squares can a cropped image score, given the design is generic/awful enough.

Well at least they’re competent enough to promise us “a fantasy realm”, not “fierce battles”. These ladies’ clothes surely can exist only in the realm of fantasy.

So, Circe is a Wonder Woman villain who goes all the way back to 1959 and for some reason – out of all the possible outfits and designs, this is the one that DC Universe Online went with.

Of course, there’s concept art for different designs:

But of course, that’s what they used for the gritty dystopian future that only appears in the intro video.  Thanks DC Universe Online.

You know, somewhere in getting her own army, you’d think that Janissa would have invested in a new costume… perhaps one that doesn’t have ridiculous underboob.

Then Dark Horse could sell figures of her that wouldn’t be embarrassing to have around your house:

Women in Armour – ConQuest of Mythodea 2015 – 1 | 2 | 3

When you let women dress themselves for battle there are no chain mail bikinis, no boob plates, no high heels. We wear heavy armour and wield swords and axes and maces. So fuck you, video game industry.

BONUS: empowered male warrior :))

These are all so wonderful – great combinations of badassery and creativity.  I really do hope that major developers will start taking their inspiration from LARPers like these rather than pulp magazines.
