In case anyone wanted to argue that things like, say, Dragon’s Crown, Macho Women With Guns, Slayer’s Guide to Female Gamers or Axe Princess are supposed to be parodies/social commentary and therefore get a free card at employing questionable tropes… NOPE, that’s not how it works!

This also applies if your “commentary” piece requires the audience to participate in hours of extra content and then engage in a elaborate mental gymnastics in order to find the commentary. eg Metal Gear Solid or Dragon’s Dogma.
No amount of elaborate post event justification is going to undo the objectification.

I don’t think that costume, that a female character deliberately wears into battle and dangerous situations, provides enough protection to qualify as armor…
