Well if you want realism you can always go out and buy real weapons to fight real ppl... Just no complaints if the girl wearing the bikini wielding a claymore sends you to the hospital... >.>

You just made my day.CONAN!!!! The ADVENTURER!!! CONAN!!! Warrior without fear! CONAN! THE MIGHTEST WARRIOR EVER! HIS QUEST. to undo the spell of living stone cast upon his family by driving the evil serpent men back into another dimension and vanquishing their leader, the cruel wizard Wrath-A-Mon.Sometimes I think nobody else remembers that show.
Not strictly true. D&D has no tanks in the MMO sense. But in 3.5 with ToB, lockdown Crusaders were a thing. Build that right, and nobody can get to the people behind you because they're making DC 40 Reflex saves every time they try to leave the square they're in. I did one recently with a spiked chain and 30' reach. It was extremely effective at forcing melee opponents to deal with me via battlefield control.D&D never even had tanks. It's 4e tried to add them... but it was a limited concept. Tanking itself doesn't work in any setup where you allow NPCs to ignore the little kid telling "yo momma" jokes and instead focus on his 4 teenage buddies behind him with guns and knives...
Tanking is an artificial construct made to enable gaming in a platform with a 'limited AI' that would have more complex logic based strategies easily outguessed by the player base (see Guild Wars 2 and it's resultant failure to have a dynamic combat system after the second month of the game's life when player figured out all the AI's tricks) who could then just 'take a step to the left' and ignore all fight mechanics...

I'm all for skimpy clothing, as long as it's fair, and both males and females can wear it. Since this happens in FFXIV i have no issues with it.
There's also the side quest asking you to capture dinosaurs and the kitty basically says not to ask how they will fit in the bags she gives you, just know they will.I think my two favorite bits of flavor text are sufficient enough to answer that.
Sometimes it's better to admit you don't know how it works and just let it be.
That aside, I'd like to see more variety of this sort.
Anyone can wear what they want but have to accept some people will call them out if it looks ridiculous to their perceptions (not that you should care either way of course). I see a tank in bikini gear, I just roll my eyes and forget it within the same instant.
What others wear doesn't bother me but I will give them a good snark in my head, much like this: https://youtu.be/c-k9VE-eEY4?t=18s
Back when they had the tank armor design contest, I was tempted to submit an idea that I had for tank armor that was skintight and cloth, but had magical devices at various points (elbows, knees, waist, forehead, etc) that would project a translucent armor-shaped force field. A bit like the Holtzman shields in the old Dune movie, but more armor-shaped rather than blocky. I wasn't going for "skimpy" (though I suppose the skintight cloth could be sexy), but rather for the cool "magic armor" effects.
Unfortunately, my artistic skills are lacking, and I was too unconfident to submit my idea. :P
