Athena cosplaying AthenaBeforeAfter

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a creepy game with a creepy premise. It takes the art of Thermian Argument regarding women fighting in skimpy outfits to the next level. 

Get this: the “plot” is that the villain kidnapped female characters from various SNK games, forcibly put them in fetishy costumes and makes them fight each other while he is watching as they feel completely humiliated.

Athena Asamiya’s default magical girl outfit is relatively tame in terms of showing skin (fetishization of girlish dresses is another issue entirely), but since there HAS to be at least one bikini-shaped look per character, the game makes up for it by giving her an alternative pre-existing costume of her namesake, Princess Athena from another game. As we all know, there can never be a single Athena in fiction >_>

Thong as a question mark because while the panties do not seem to be an actual g-string, those additional straps sure make it look more like stringy lingerie than comfortable underwear.

Stay tuned, as one more SNK bingo is on its way… Now with extra trasphobia!

Athena from Smite! All she’s wearing is some kind of dress thing with boob plates stuck to it somehow? Anyways, a goddess of war deserves more.

I don’t know what that tiddy armor is even supposed to protect. I was tempted to fix the amazon armor but honestly that would work better with Artemis than Athena.

I never played Smite so I hope I got it right!

We had some technical difficulties with our stream this weekend, fret not! We got a great SMITE goddess redesign right now.

This really is a lovely armor fix that actually uses the original’s shapes and motifs effectively! I like the breastplate and collar in particular. The headgear looks better as well, and I’m so glad her WoW-esque pauldron got shrunk to a reasonable size.

The only change I would make is to either give her a white tabbard or something else under the belt, just to break up the 2 different browns. 

Even though we’ve featured @enecola on the blog before, I will continue to recommend that you check out their blog for more cool redesigns and original character designs~

Since League of Maidens is such a creative game*, I decided to bingo their obviously most original character, Wonder Woman, I mean Wendor Wamon, I mean Athena (wut, another one?).

Putting the question mark on No head protection, because of how small and unhelpful in fight that tiara is and on Boob window, as the straps between her boobplate and necklace do form a window of sorts.

*Even their name is totally creative, evoking similarity to League of Legends, League of Angels as well as Justice League (well, they do shamelessly ripoff DC and Marvel heroines)… Though it seems no-one in their marketing team checked what search results “League of Maidens” tends to give first. Or maybe somehow they’re just okay with being associated with Nazis, who knows?

Oh mighty Athena, will the sleazy designers EVER leave you alone?

How warped our collective culture is to portray the goddess of wisdom clothing herself like this for battle (or any other occasion, really) so absurdly?

Seems like whoever did this, wanted to rip off was inspired by that infinitely stupid “chestpiece” from Queen’s Blade. She doesn’t even wear a thong! Quite the contrary. She gets a hole to show off her buttcrack… Maybe so she can go number 2 without having to take off her “armor”? Ewww.

Also fuck it, I’m counting the high heels square, cause I’m so sick of female characters constantly being portrayed on their tippy-toes like Barbie, even though their shoes have flat soles.
