Female Armor Rhetoric BINGO (PDF) by OzzieScribbler (again, yours truly)
[…]
I only have one bone to pick with this bingo card, and that’s the “male barbarians also fight naked” part. Part of any fictional world are the many smaller cultures and areas that make it up. If a harsh (hot/humid/insert condition that would make being completely clothed impractical) environment has people living there, and the guys are walking around in loin cloths or just enough clothing to be considered decent, then I don’t think its such a bad thing for women to either. It’s when we have guys walking around comfortably in full plate (well, as comfortable as one could be in it I guess) while women are in the whole chainmail bikini thing that I feel we should cry foul. This is just my opinion of course, but consistency is important. Other than that one block, the rest of this is spot on.
Not to be rude, but…

That’s the thing: barbarian women usually DO NOT walk around in loincloths. They wear fur or metal bikinis (scalemail seems to be the standard). If Red Sonja was dressed like Conan, there would be no problem. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE

I feel like I need to make sure to cover as many of these spots as I can in one of my future games >:3
Did some rough concept work for you.
You win at life XD Or at the very least at the bingo.
Though why did you give her underwear at all? That’s two wasted squares ;(
Had to check up if you were joking, prehensilemoustache, as your friend socks-and-my-other-obsessions seems to get this idea worryingly straight (warning to the readers: NSFW blog, best to not approach).
Dear socks-and-my-other-obsessions, I’m not-so-sad to inform you that industry beat you to it and created a game like this… or maybe a few hundred games like this. I lost count 😛
There’s nothing more to contribute in that matter.
