(Not pictured: “Butt window”, but trust me, it’s there.)
You have no idea how much this cheered me up just now.
I for one, think this is a major improvement. Look how empowered he is! And it’s relevant to the character as someone who is powered by the sun, he’d want to maximize the amount of sunlight he receives, right? It’s not like it makes sense for him to cover himself from chin to toe. In fact, I think some strappy sandals might be an improvement.
strappy high heeled sandals would increase his height making him closer to the sun. and if wonderwoman can fight in heels it can’t be that hard, right?
SO EMPOWERING
Felt a dire need to contribute to the hilarity.
Now I can tell right away he’s a strong male character. Whew! No more confusion.
+1 for him doing the boobs and butt pose too.
FINALLY we’re getting a good look at Man of Steel’s cheeks of steel!
Eyup. That’s definitely appropriate outfit to showcase how powerful Superman is. And when that’s not enough of empowerment for him, there’s always the nipple capes 😀

Quiet apologists have been by far the most tedious defenders of bikini armor, constantly insisting that there is some sort of great artistic genius at work behind Kojima’s design decisions. It’s always either he’s doing some sort of genius bait and switch (that’s not genius) ploy or somehow the characterization will make up for the costume or (my personal favorite) people just need to spend hundred of hours playing every MGS game to understand the twenty-four minute trailer released to the general public.
No amount of anything is ever going to make up for this, the game hasn’t even been released yet and he’s already releasing fondle dolls. Oh, and since I’ve seen lots of guy’s insisting that the Snake doll will be equally fondleable and objectified – No. No it won’t.
At this point, the kindest thing that can be said has already been said on Twitter:
We’ve received a few requests for information regarding bikini armor free media that people may enjoy and while the main focus of the blog is to bring critical attention to products that embrace bikini armor – we’re certainly not against celebrating people who do it right.
For PC games we already have the Curator section of the Steam Group, but we’re now going to start a new section of BABD Recommends to promote things that are available by other means.
Print Comics
We highly recommend that you consider buying your comics at your local comic shop – not just to support local business but also to encourage them to get in more awesome stuff. In case your local comic shop isn’t a pleasant place to be or isn’t local, we’ve included links to where you can get the comics online:
Help Us! Great Warrior (Comixology | Tumblr) The hilarious adventures of the great warrior who’d really rather not be out saving the world today. A fun and inclusive breath of fresh air.
Princess Ugg (Comixology) The daughter of a barbarian tribal chief is sent to a Princess Academy in order to learn the ways of “civilized” kingdoms and gain allies for her people. It goes about as well as you expect.
Tomb Raider (Dark Horse Digital) Follows on from the 2014 reboot of the video game. With her inner action hero now thoroughly awakened, Lara’s ordeals continue and take her all around the world to face all kinds of ruthless opponents. Written by Gail Simone ( gailsimone ) and Rhianna Pratchett.
Video Games
As mentioned above, we have a Steam Group with a Curator page, however since not all games are available on Steam, here are a few you may want to check out if the group isn’t much good to you.
Assassins Creed III: Liberation HD ( Steam | PlayStation | X-Box ) Set in 18th century New Orleans. By means of agility and disguises
Aveline de Grandpré
moves between the worlds of privileged nobility, impoverished slavery and a war between secret societies. The console and PC re-releases of this game have been amazingly under marketed by Ubisoft (the company that said female assassins are too much work).
Not focused on bikini armor itself but on in related issues.
Escher Girls ( Tumblr ) Part catalog of terrifying trends in comic art, part delicious snark at these trends – also partially the inspiration for this blog. The perfect response to anyone who tries to tell you it’s “just Liefeld” or “just some comics”.
Killscreen Daily ( E-Zine ) This is a unique video games site in that it aspires to discuss video games as part of our larger culture and humanity. Aspects such as gender, violence, sexuality, race and advertising.
