So a friend pointed this out to me in a comic book shop the other day cause she knows I like to play Bikini Amour Battle Damage Bingo. Didn’t think to write down the name however ^^; and also couldn’t look inside the comic because it was sealed.

The title is “Conan Red Sonja” (preview on Google Books) and while one could make the argument that Conan is also wearing impractical attire for fighting battles, I feel that the book maintains a kind of double standard in the presentation of the two characters.

Specifically that Red Sonja regularly gets to be slightly more active, as an excuse to pose her oddly and to try to balance out that she’s posing for the titillation of the audience while Conan is… being Conan.

Why does that elf have shoulder pads on her upper arms? And how does that ring work? Can you imagine how ridiculously difficult this outfit would be to put on?

Source: IPhone game called Wakfu Raiders. It’s actually quite well drawn, if you don’t count that most female characters are shrink-wrapped into their clothes.

The panda characters’ clothing actually looks really good, and the movement in the drawing has lots of energy!

Oh Wakfu… you rascally franchise who’s supposed to be trying to market itself to people twelve years and older… please stop creeping me out and please hire new marketing people.  More of this:

Less this:

Like seriously, it’s obvious that you guys are using design templates. Please just use the ones with less creepy sexualization of female characters.
