Tidy Up Tuesday #64

Some readers gave us heads up regarding Tumblr mobile app going buggy with links to tags that end with /chrono, so we’ll try to avoid them in the future. 
With that in mind, from now on we’ll be linking our most discussed topics as the newly created masterposts (work still in progress) that list the most significant posts in each category.


When submitting/recommending a bad design to BABD, please always make sure it’s from a commercial project, not an artist’s independent/personal exercise at character design.


If you’re like to ask for design advice, we recommend checking out:

Or drop in to @how-do-i-armour-and-stuff and send in an ask or submission (it doesn’t update as often as wincenworks would like, but he will happily review any questions/requests etc)


The Bad Genderbend Bingo we referenced with the Alieng Girl statue bingo, was @wackd‘s graphic design, but its writing is credited to @inbarfink, @zarekthelordofthefries, @maxwellelvis, and @fairytalesandimaginings

Please, do not ever submit to BABD something, especially an image, completely context-free. We do not feel comfortable with publishing uncredited, unsourced works (and not all can be tracked back by us with a search engine).
Always remember to credit where the artwork comes from and, if they’re known, who’s the author. That goes for every sort of post, especially bingo’ed designs. 


Quick reminder that Female Armor Bingo, as per rules and terms of its use, is only intended for the critique of commercial media made for mass consumption. It is not to be used for the critique or shaming of original independent works or fan works such as: fan art, fan fiction or cosplaying.

This week’s tidy-ups:


When messaging us with a question whether we saw/formed opinion on some specific piece of media, please always do include its full name, source or, if possible, link to where we can check it.
Often a reader’s message is the first time we hear of something, and a lot of things are hard to find just by vague description like “that new comic/trailer with x and y”.

A couple of issues to clear up this week:


Big thank you to everyone who sends new posts our way! Since we received a lot of first-time submissions lately, let us bring back the submission system instructions, which will hopefully make the process less confusing to the newcomers.

A reminder that many of our posts include rhetorical questions. Thus, not everything we ask in on BABD needs to be answered literally.


That being said:
When we ask why there are little to no positive female design examples with certain characteristics, while we appreciate being directed to one, acting like a single game/comic/book makes a difference to the overwhelming amount of sexist depictions isn’t what we agree with
