There are two kinds of people.

My “favorite” part is gotta be
Considering they’re commenting on a video game concept art, not a traditional 2D animation model sheet or a comic book character design. No-one is going to actually draw this outfit over and over again to animate the game; it’s going to be rendered in 3D.
And while CG renders obviously also require more work the more complex they are, the explanation doesn’t apply when only female characters are “too hard to animate/render/draw”.
If fictional men don’t also sport the same suspiciously bodypaint-like clothes as women, the “easier to do” excuse is invalid, no matter what medium the characters are presented in.
As a side note, boobsocks have more polygons than a realistic single boob bulge, so it’s not easier or more efficient to make a 3D “catsuit” model with separate breast compartments.

(Edit: Added some bolding due to concerns people felt that pointing out the video game/3D comparison was not in line with address the idea of Anime being different due to being a drawn medium. It’s also worth pointing out that anime has been using CG since the 80s and that even anime that shamelessly use every shortcut they can get their hands on still don’t super-simplify simply to save drawing.

Warhammer Vermintide
Andrew submitted:
Have you seen the heroes for Warhammer: Vermintide? It’s an upcoming Co-op Horde Mode type game similar to Left 4 Dead. The two lady characters are pretty fantastic. There is a middle-aged badass fire wizard and an elven archer who is covered head to toe.
Given Games Workshop’s usual design policies, which are less than optimal, I’m going to assume this is more Fatshark Games’ doing. Thankfully it looks like they took a lot of inspiration from Left 4 Dead as well Warhammer.

Addressing this week:
We still do not agree that an occasional shirtless dude warrior balances out the tons of warrior ladies in generic armor bikinis. There’s a whole tag devoted to that.
Female Armor Bingo (including the rhetoric one) is free for personal use. This means you don’t need us to validate a score for any design you want to judge with it.
Posts containing images and information about real armor and real battles are kept in our reference and resource tags.

The caption “zacięte walki” promises “fierce battles”… Somebody please explain to me what is “fierce” and battle-related about those generic pretty ladies in flowy skirts and impossible boob coverage.
~Ozzie
Well maybe in their world those fashions are considered “fierce”? I mean for this season, until everyone wearing them dies in battle.
