Tidy Up Tuesday #40


We were glad to learn that the creator of @pointandclickbait addressed the hilarity of completely self-unaware responses to his Space Marines Can’t Be Female, Because Then I Would Need To Re-Think My Life article (which we referenced in this post) from the Warhammer 40k bros.

He was amused, but not surprised:

A few things to cover.


For Female Armor Bingo we will only publish submissions that are for commercial artworks, that means ones created as part of a product of some sort.  We won’t be publishing personal artworks even if they are by commercial artists and/or featured on portfolio sites such as Art Station or even the artist’s own site.

A reader asked:

Why do so many of the links on your posts just lead back to the post itself?

Seeing as it may be a common concern, especially with newer readers, we’ll answer here: It may look that way at the first glance, but we never link back to the post itself. Please check the url or scroll down and you’ll see that the link is to a tag, not to an individual post.


We publish only Bingo Sunday submissions that feature commercial art, not amateur/fan art. We can also postpone publishing bingos for other reasons, like the bingoed design not being awful enough to serve as a negative example, or if, due to our research into the piece, we have doubts if the author deserves harsh critique.

We’re happy to add League of Sexism to our related sites. It’s a blog devoted to examination of sexist double standards in League of Legends. A must-read to anyone interested in more detailed criticism of sexism focused entirely on LoL (something we at BABD, as a blog about general media, can not provide).


@danceoffools made a very important mod for female armor in Dragon Age: Origins. Check it out here!  (It fixes medium armors!)

Tidy-Up Tuesday #36

A few things to tidy up this week.


There are very few reasons that are actually an explanation why a costume would be exused – and many, many reasons why it shouldn’t be.  “Other characters don’t wear armor so sexualized attire for the women is fine” or “the stupid armor leads to their death”.


For our recommendations we have a tag and for PC games in particular we have a Steam Curator/Store Page – also a Steam Group.


Please don’t send us corrections for Female Armor Bingos, especially submissions, there is no prize for the bingo and we’d prefer to keep the focus on the eternal question of “Why does this keep getting published?”

Tidy Up Tuesday #35

Just a few things to tidy up this week.


Because our focus is on critiquing commercial media, we will only be featuring artwork made with strictly commercial intent.  That is, it was made to either be sold, sell something or otherwise promote something on a market.

We do not critique personal artworks on the blog, we do however feature them as positive examples, parodies and commentary where appropriate.


We rarely have time to respond to all submissions or questions individually, so if you’ve sent us something and haven’t seen a mention please be aware it might be featured in the the future, sit in our drafts for a while or appear in the next Tidy Up Tuesday.


Currently we’re not able to provide specific advice/feedback on armor designs, however there may be an offshoot blog to deal with that in the near future.
