Hey guys! Check out OSO’s first line based on my Super Smash Bears series! They are currently in production and pre-ordering will be available soon! 😀

Not quite sexy male armor this Friday, but deliberately sexy male redos of iconic video game characters nonetheless.

As we made a point before, a lot of unironic masculine equivalents to standard female sexualization come from gay or otherwise LGBTQ male artists. 

And @bearsionated’s OSO project is no different: reimagining various Super Smash heroes as human bears (stocky, hairy gay dudes).
Now that’s some quality balance to, say, turning pokemon into underclad generic waifus. Except the art is so much better, more creative and varied, even though all characters fit one beauty type!

One thing that has always pissed me off in Bravely Default are the blatant double standards of job costumes. I could have gone with almost every job, but I chose to illustrate this problem with the Dark Mage one, because it’s an outfit that really striked me. Yeah, so guys like Ringabel have super cool pants, while Dark Mage girls like Edea are forced to battle in short dresses and garterbelt? Fuck that.
It’s not supposed to be an armor, but it has to protect the body, and I don’t see the point of shortening the ladies’skirts since it makes them more vulnerable- oh wait, it’s female empowerment y’all!

So to correct this unfairness, I drew Ringabel with the ladies’costume, and look at how empowered he looks! ^^/

Inspired by @bikiniarmorbattledamage and the Hawkeye Project, although it’s not a superhero!

Good job at fixing the double standard, @soyokaze-step! 

It’s always relative, but I think you managed to avoid the “it’s funny, because he looks so girly” trap of putting a male character in female-coded clothes and/or makeup. 

Ringabell looks rightfully empowered, not shamed, for wearing a dress. 

How do any of those outfits, including the original male one, communicate a dark magic user, though, is a mystery to me.

Amusing bug in Vindictus that happens when a character’s armor fails to load. 

Yes, this is what everyone supposedly wears beneath their costumes by default. 

Sad part of this game is, when approaching a view like this, especially on a lady character, it’s genuinely hard to tell whether it’s a glitch or  one if their “finer” designs.
