The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
Battletoads, the game where you play cartoony toads that manifest giant fists with doing a final punch, is renown widely for being ridiculously, punishingly difficult (even for it’s era).
Somehow almost nobody talks about the inappropriate nature of including Dark Queen in a game where you are the cartoon toads beating up cartoon enemies.

So, I’m not going to read this for fear it’ll hurt my brain – but did the guys really decide that the sexy alien armor wasn’t emphasizing boobs enough and make one with a more complicated boobplate? And a little tear to show some leg?
Really?

Here’s a positive example for you. I watch a few Let’s Players on Youtube, and one recently started playing a game called Jotun by Thunder Lotus Games. This is Thora, the playable character. I was quite surprised to see that not only is the main character (a warrior) female, but a very well-portrayed one at that. She swings a giant axe around (and looks like she has the build to wield it properly no less), and is dressed as anyone would expect of a female viking. I haven’t seen much of the game so far, but it seems like a very positive portrayal overall and I may end up getting a Steam account just so I can get this game.
This game is pretty awesome. I’ve only played a little of it thus far but not only is fun (and somewhat nostalgic) to play but Thora is actually pretty characterized and they’ve made everything in the game suitably magical. This for instance, is a shrine to Frigg:

things that don’t break white male gamer’s immersion: dragons, magic, made up metals, impossibly large weapons, eating 50 potatoes while in combat, riding a horse up a 90 degree cliff
things that break white male gamer’s immersion: realistic armor for women, black people

While it’s safe to say that the Mercenary Suit was a big hit – many folks raised a very valid concern: What if you breathe through you skin?
We present to you the the option for your empowered male protagonist who breathes through their skin!
