Have we mentioned that we’re really enjoying this trend of swapping out models to highlight disparity in gender representation? Because we are!
We’d also like to thank @doctorsanity for sharing this wonderfully empowering gif with us after brave souls went to combat creator decisionscensorship and discovered the games’ true potential!

Now that’s empowerment!

*dfab cis thin busty pale skin women
it really is an awful outfit, but i’m pretty sure 98% of the guys complaining about new FF guy outfit ”is not the skimpiness it’s just ugly~” didn’t complain about lightning’s awful outfit (and the other one too) (and 90% of these)
Perfect response to the Sexy Final Fantasy Dude controversy is perfect.
We can always count on shattered-earth’s humor to be on-point! 🙂
Also big thanks to her for juxtaposing the infamous design with how female version of that character would actually look.
We’ve seen a concerning amount of responses which claim that somehow this paragon of conventionally attractive masculine form is so effeminate that he’s practically a girl… Because showing a lot of skin and having pretty hair is inherently feminine, I suppose?
Gamer dudebros sure like stretching to validate their sexually confused rage.~Ozzie

As a side-note: this is BABD’s 1001th post! Rejoice!
Bringing this back as a reminder that if Wal was actually female, no dudebro would bat an eye at his original skimperrific costume. Neither would they demand it to cover up more, let alone have that request granted by developers.
‘Cause, as we all know, asking for less scanty outfits is “censorship” only if a woman is wearing them. Especially if people asking to cover up the character are feminists.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is getting a new character from Samurai Warriors
The part I find saddest about this, amazingly, is not that even Naotora Ii seems to realize how tacky these outfits are (based off her expression in the last image).
It’s that people from both the Dead or Alive and the Samurai Warriors team seem to think these costumes are clever and a good idea. That’s two teams of decision makers seem to think that these are a way to stand out and be unique.
Only three months after Soul Calibur: Lost Swords closed down, and as terrible, ridiculous and horrifying as their outfits were – at least they were being innovative in their quest for terrible costume ideas.
