Maybe if more people at big studios cared to do the research into lives of real female snipers, like Lyudmila Pavlichenko, they’d have second thoughts about introducing such “novel” concepts like breathing through skin or being brainwashed into killing people while having an absolute cleavage to justify having a gun-wielding woman in their story.
We recommend it as a great starting point to learn about many interesting (not necessarily good, but always fascinating) women who shaped the history by daring to break conventions. Really great source of reference and inspiration when creating a new, non-conformist female characters.
‘political correctness kills creativity’ if you can’t create something without furthering the oppression of minorities, you aren’t a very creative person.
Exactly. It is funny how people say this and don’t realize the irony. As in, if you cannot visualize people different from you without using the same old stereotypes, you can’t exactly say you were the paragon of creativity can you?
Fun fact: adhering limitations to a project (like, I dunno, striving to not hurt feelings of large part of the population) actually helps to come up with something way more original than sticking to tropes that are offensive towards lots of potential fans.

Invariably whenever someone claims that “political correctness” is killing creativity – it showcases a real lack of effort on their part. Even politically incorrect comedians like John Cleese will stress that you can’t expect your first idea to be your greatest idea, you have to refine it and be willing to let it go if it can’t be saved.
If you have an idea that you think is great, but you can’t use it because it’s “politically incorrect” then three possibilities exist:
The core idea is great however the way you envisioned it is problematic – so you need to rework it until you have the core without the terrible stuff.
The core idea is actually terrible, but some other aspect of it is good so what you want to do is ditch the core idea but keep the good aspect for another idea (or make it the core idea).
The whole idea if fundamentally terrible and you need to examine why you thought of it in the first place to help you grow as a person and avoid problematic ideas like it cloud up your brain storming in future.
Regardless of which it is, it’s basically an opportunity to help you improve your creativity and yourself. Passing up on this opportunity just means you’re taking one step towards being more like many, many problematic creators of the past.

im surprised her tit didn’t explode like an overstuffed melon when it got cut because its EXPOSED
Her body looks disturbingly distorted. Wondering why no one is questioning how hard they tried to push her boobs fully out but you know that’s not how it is realistically positioned. Her head looks like it dropped down and she has no neck. Her arms look more like wings than arms. What do you think? @boobsdontworkthatway@bikiniarmorbattledamage
This one is kind of amazing in that apologists can’t even make the “it’s for agility” argument – right next to her is an equally agile male opponent in full plate with a comically large warhammer.
And as for the overly aggressive cleavage, well it’s a pretty classic example of how these designs don’t seem to fit with any concept of armor or even just practical attire. If you don’t have boobs for yourself, earlier this year a Twitch streamer
Raihnbowkidz
announced she was retiring as a “boobie streamer” and that released a video showing how much effort went into her appearance including what’s required to aggressively present cleavage.
The language she used was less than ideal, but it did a fairly good job of covering that this kind of presentation never happens by accident and is often less than comfortable for the boobs owner. (And of course, please do not read the comments on the video – just don’t do that to yourself)
So really, when a design is approved with this kind of ridiculous high profile cleavage window – it showcases how little concern was put into literally anything else other than a fixation with boobs. Hence why the woman in the pics is more endangered than protected by her own kit.
Which is to say that not only does this kind of design express that nobody could think of a more innovative concept for the character than “she’s a sexy lady… and um badass” but they also couldn’t think of a way to express this without going to the most ridiculous and overdone design elements.
