Tidy Up Tuesday #97

Here’s a reminder that skimpy bikini armor is not the be all end all of sexism and double standards in character and costume design. Unchallenged uniform conformation to gender norms is a problem in of itself. 

If each and every single female character in a franchise has to have at least one overt conventionally feminine feature, while male ones have a whole range of appearances, then yes, it’s still deserves to be criticized for double standards.  

Also, please consult  this point in our FAQ if you question why we’re not critical only of the most egregious female character costume designs.

New Moderator 2: The Revenge

A new challenger appears! 

Hi, I’m IcyKitty, the new moderator. I’m an artist, character designer, and RPG lover (ask me about my D&D characters). 

I’ll be focusing more on talking design and aesthetic specifics and maybe even doing some redesigns. Who knows, maybe we will have a redesign feature day every once in a while??? (Did someone say “sequel hook?”)

-Icy

Welcome to the team, Icy! Hope that having a third mod will help us manage the blog better and bring some fresh take on the topics BABD deals with.

Sorry for the holdup with addressing most frequent/topical requests! We’re receiving lots of interesting messages/submissions/@-notifications, often regarding the same matters. With amount of posts our private schedules can provide at the moment (1 a day) we don’t want to rush into queuing articles with little to no thought and research put into them.
Hopefully we’re manage to address most in-demand topics soon.
