Smosh just released this video, they make fun of different superhero topics, including female superhero armor.

I like how they take a jab at many questionable trends in superhero-related media, like the how white most superheroes are, how female characters don’t star in their own movies and the obligatory dead parents (content warning for that particular sketch’s ending). 

Though the bikini armor sketch above could be a bit less similar to College Humor’s classic Female Armor Sucks.

Considering Captain Man is completely okay with that, I’d love to see some fanart of him in Captain Woman’s bikini 😉

This is the closest those sidebar ads ever got to sexy male armor standard.

Hell, we can even see the Oni’s underpants! Now give both of those gentlemen sultry poses and flirty expressions and we’re be on good way for male empowerment.

I wanted to congratulate ASTA for not going with the trite “sex sells” advertising, but of course that’s what I found upon further googling:

By no way the worst we’ve seen and there are better female designs the game is promoted with, so let’s be cautiously optimistic?

The biggest offenders of bikini armor at the Games Developers Conference. The one on the bottom is so disproportionate it’s borderline nightmare fuel.

Also, I was considering not including Tower of Legends because it is such a blatant League ripoff if League didn’t have any bikini armor clad women, neither would this game.

And of course the most amusing ones were the ladies who were segmented out with the metal structure. They made sure to keep the cleavage showing, even if it meant offsetting it from the top half of the body!

So it turns out you didn’t have to attend the Microsoft party with sexy schoolgirl dancers to be bombarded with creepy objectification of women at GDC!

Though given how derivative all of these designs are, I think that it’s safe to say if League of Legends didn’t exist then they just probably would have copied the designs of someone else… like Tera Online, SMITE or anything by Blizzard.

I actually tried to work out which developer was making “Dawn of War” (Good luck taking the branding for that title from Warhammer 40K) and “Tower of Legends” but gave up due to the number of studios using the same art styles and design principles.

It’s like the industry has horrible, wide spread problems with sexism or something…
