Women and Armor!

[Aegis]

Also, this might come as a shock to you, but, women and men dress differently, even in real life. Whether or not the outfit is sexual is entirely up to the interpretation of the person looking at it.

If I lend my wife my T-shirt, it doesn't become nipple tassles. My wife is able to buy a shirt the same design as mine without the person at the cash register swapping it with a bikini. The point is, in these games, women can't wear the all the same things as men. The option is never presented. The alternatives they are provided with are changed purely to show off sexual characteristics.

Again, these are the words coming from you, not me. You are saying that they are just a walking pair of boobs and backside, not me or anyone else. I've never once considered characters in revealing armor to be nothing more than their bodies.

/Headdesk. Are you gonna tell me with a straight face that the plate mail bikini design is not designed purely for titillation? That there's a practical reason for it and a practical reason for men not to have the same? If not, then can you provide another explanation other than to promote their sexual characteristics? There is so much denial going on here.

Funny jokes aside, what Amused is saying is pretty much spot on. Where you see "objectification", we see "characterization". To each his own.

The characterisation argument would hold more water if the only criteria for the change weren't gender and if the only changes weren't simply to show more skin.
