I don’t understand what military equips all their enlisted troops, engineers and medics with armor and gear, then gets their officers to wear catsuits…includes “psychics” who have t-shirts and submachineguns.

Now, to be fair – this game does seem very inspired by Space Hulk, a game which had exactly zero female characters.  It also did include at least one awesome looking female character in the stretch goals.

But really… was there anyone who thought the genre of science fiction horror survival needed another couple of female characters in skin tight costumes? Really?

While the article refers to it as “Diablo-style” their marketing and visual style seems to have other influences.

Lineage 

Tera Online

And it’s kind of congealed together into something that could, potentially quite interesting… if you hadn’t been introduced to them initially as something creepily childlike and harmless.

wincenworks reminded me of this proof that covering skin does not yet make female armor non-sexualized, so I figured “why not bingo it?”

It doesn’t score very high, provided that the Female Armor Bingo was designed with the

popular “sexy = skin on display” misconception in mind. But it’s still a major example of skin-tight chainmail, one of the most cringe-inducing tropes of sexualized armor.

Also put a question mark on “How does it attach?!”, cause I really don’t see how exactly spandex chainmail is supposed to physically work.

All these stories seem to take place in alternative worlds with magic and where humanity focuses all their technological efforts into developing form fitting “armor” that shows off women’s boobs…
