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.

---

A few topics we’ve discussed before:

• Mariah Carey in the Game of War trailers

Just a few things to tidy up this week.

We do indeed have a Steam Curator page, it’s been a little quiet lately but hopefully will start making some recommendations again soon.  Also the related Steam Group.

---

In creating fiction, particularly set outside of our own society, and considering who would and wouldn’t be fit to fight, we recommend considering many, many factors other than sex or gender.

---

For those who heard about, but didn’t follow the Overwatch pose debaccle – in a predictably Blizzard manner the “check out my butt” pose was replaced with a different “check out my butt” pose lifted directly from a Billy De Vorss 1950s pinup.  Blizzard once again claiming to strive for progress while sitting still.

---

Our master post on the “but dudes are sexualized the same way” and why they really are not.

We do frequently discover things that we enjoyed or looked forward to enjoying are problematic to varying degrees.  Whether it can still be enjoyed afterwards is up to individuals and circumstances though we do ask that you not feel guilty about enjoying it if you do, don’t create excuses for them or deny their problems.

If you find that you cannot enjoy it due to the problems, that’s also completely understandable and you shouldn’t feel guilty about that either.  Though depending on the options available you may consider voicing your dissatisfaction as a customer to the creators if you feel comfortable doing so (and they haven’t addressed it or improved since).

Topics we’ve covered before:

• Sin Episodes

A message to our followers:

Please don’t automatically feel guilty about liking media with gratuitous sexy stuff (like, say, bikini armors) in it. Just openly acknowledge it has problems and do not excuse them, even if they supposedly “make sense” in-universe. Also, please be respectful and understanding to those people for whom these problems are deal breakers of enjoyment.

As for the issue of whether or not to financially support problematic media, that’s always an individual choice that everyone should make for themselves.
Though in special cases of terribadness, we may speak up and advice against a product.

Quick reminder that while BABD is in total support of Magic Meat Week, we are not behind it, thus we can not provide legit information about it. The initiative was created by @amanda-sharpe and organized by @heymonster who runs the official @magicmeatweek blog.

---

BABD-related news:

• Everquest Next got cancelled, apparently it was “not fun”. Seems like bikini armor doesn’t ensure good times. Who knew?

---

Things we had before on BABD:

• College Humor’s Female Armor Sucks sketch

Just a few things addressed before:

---

• Why claiming that gladiators would wear armor bikinis isn’t accurate (at the very least because armor bikinis were never a historical thing before 20th century pulp art emerged)
• “You didn’t get a bingo!”/”You forgot to check a bingo square!”
• Why you can enjoy something, but still point that it has problems (like sexualization of women)
• We support cosplayers right to wear whatever they like.
