I agree with you 100%. They are mods, you don’t have to download them. Moders have complete freedom to create whatever they want. It doesn’t have to fit the theme. Skyrim was made to be moded, that’s why they made the Skyrim Creation Kit for users.
But, nevertheless, that’s not going to stop me from thinking that some of these mods are downright creepy. BUT WAIT there’s more!! It’s not just female armor that’s creepy; it seems that you can download creepy armor for men, too. (They both don’t protect much heh)
I don’t really find it offensive, it’s actually funny and almost… sad? I don’t think the whole moding community is like this. There are plenty of mods that can enhance Skyrim’s beauty.
We’re on the same page, angercats. I took the liberty of bolding the point I agree most about.
It’s just saddening how far some people can go to make their mod designs as perverted as possible, as if it added anything to the game experience.

Paco Rabanne Haute Couture Spring 1998 ooorrr.. Male battle thong!
This is equality, look how blades will glance off his fabulous banana-plate-mail. He’s fully protected and showy enough to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, and when the war is over, he can head-bang the cobwebs out of those hard to reach nooks and crannies.

I’d say it counts more as the male equivalent to The Abstract Art outfit than Armor Bikini, especially since it’s supposed to be Haute Couture and all…
Still have no idea what to think of it, frankly, as it doesn’t really concern the themes of this blog. It’s nice to see A MAN in absolutely ridiculous, impractical and revealing outfit for once… I guess?
Bonus points for it being real, not just a physics-defying illustration by an artist with no idea of how outfits work.

This is an all-around amazing article that on top of discussing the problem of sexist designs is sprinkled with great exemplifying images and quotes.
Very importantly, written from the male perspective and giving some insight on how would a man feel about representation of his gender if it was eqally sexualized and objectified as it is with women now.
Just ignore this one little line that uses word “feminism” (and “masculism”), the author didn’t really know the definition back then.
