Why is there a double standard with armor?

Yeah, how dare they allow enough customization to make the character look how you want. Maybe they everyone should have to do it the way you do, right?

That question gets a yes from people who are out of their fucking minds.

My point was that limiting customization is stupid and quite often a way to sell DLC. They should be able to whatever you want with your character so long as it doesn't interfere with the functions of the game.

>>378603992

On what basis?

Switch adult and teen-friendly to 'standard' and 'immersive', because im sure no one is complaining about age ratings here but the immersion factor

Pretty much this. The only women who care about "realistic" armor are the ones who want to dictate what others can or can't do.

Men are combatants through evolution. It's a trade-off. You're more expendable, people care less when you die. Whatever liberties we may have are negated by having a "fuck you" in a survival situation. Shit hits the fan, you go first.

Aesthetics and gameplay mechanics are different thing man.

Games like dark souls managed to avoid this. There are actual lore explanations like why desert sorcreress looked slutty. But every knight, male or female, were dressed in proper gear with no regard for gender aside from size. Conan did thia perfectly too by making everyone savages and half naked so it actually made sense.

Most games with boob windows also have at least a handful of sets where the lady can get fully armored. Now if you want to ramp up the statement to say fully armored WITHOUT boob plates, then you're really stretching it.
>>
>>378604489

To make an equivalent you would need to make a man that women find sexy.

Not a man that other men find sexy like this image. Otherwise it is catering to men in both scenarios.

You know, you could solve this by just having all genders equip all armor.

Want a girl in full plate? Bam, done

Double retards.

The issue isn't with the style of armor but that it's applied to only one sex. It's fucking stupid. If you want to have skimpy beach clothes as your armor style fine, but let me run around in a thong and let my junk bounce all over the place.
>>
>>378604670
Now if only they would spent 50 quests explaining why I have to do something so unrealistic as wearing skimpy armor. But only after I and 30 other people have to spent 10 minutes hitting this plant that looks exactly like the one I beat solo 5 minutes ago.

No no, clearly there's a remarkably small subsection of women out there that like men not even a little toned, with a near Hank Hill ass, and duck lips. This man is clearly just as desirable as the buxom woman up top.

It's a pretty interesting dichotomy.

My brother-in-law buys all the games but more than half of the time my sister picks which one. My sister is cool and all but that's some ol' bullshit. That's mostly the effect that women are having on the industry.

If you're as old as I am, you'd know that before women didn't care or they just played arcade games. They're more into shit that resembles a slot machine.

>>378604841
>>378603846
>>378603645

He-man, Conan, and Thundercats all illustrate cool and badass characters. They are not sexy unless you fetishize them.

>>378603136
This illustrated that same cool male character, with a sexy female character. These are not equal.

>>378604489
The second scenario in this depicts what it thinks is the opposite of OP's pic. It isn't.

The male character is "sexy" but only for a small fetishist demographic mostly among homosexual men.

This isn't even remotely a good comparison, and it shows that the illustrator is retarded beyond repair.

You need to make both characters cool and sexy equally. Catering to whatever you find sexually appealing or awesome. They are depicted completely differently.

Thing is, most videogames of the RPG variety have a pretty solid demographic greatly outweighing any others. Heterosexual men.

This is why it looks like this, and it isn't a problem at all.

If you say so.

That's what I'm trying to say. It's only sexual if you make it that way. Why can't it be some psychotic berserker warrior that wears less armor out of insanity?

It's true nowadays. Note that that book is from the 1980s/1970s. Women like twinks in modern times.
>>
>>378605238

True but the problem is that most of the time, this fanservice shit is just tasteless and boring. If youre going to make it fetish armor, at least do it right and no too in your face.

For example 2b in her normal attire is way hotter than if say, she was just were a bikini, because her normal outfit loves more to the imagination. Just shoving tits and thighs aint cutting it anymore.
>>
>>378605307
Yes, and? Even men that are just 'a little toned' generally do not appeal to the taste of Women in Japan. The closest we've seen is fucking Vaan.

I'm sorry you're too fucking stupid to understand that Japan has far different tastes in characters than the west. That's why, despite >>378605260

This is based on small sample size (known men outnumbering known women 50 to 1) but in my experience it's actually women who care about this kind of stuff more. For example, in World of Warcraft (before any transmogs) several girls I played with carried with them RP gear sets (ie. "pretty clothing", not the kind you see in the most outrageous slutmogs, but dresses or something not too unlike the right character in OPs picture) while I can't think of a single man doing this despite there being far far more of them. I don't know slutmogs have changed the landscape because I didn't play post-WotLK, but I'd even go as far as saying this is a better indicator of who really care about this kind of stuff because people actually had to go through greater trouble to carry alternative equipment with them.

If all games were suddenly limited exclusively to historical equipment options, I guess there'd probably be more men upset by this because there's much more men playing "core" games but relative to their numbers I'm quite confident women would be outraged (with only a very small minority who complains about this kind of stuff being pleased, smaller than the number of historically pedantic men).

if it's slutty on women make it slutty on men, if it's srs and practical on men make it so on women also.

I'm not saying this for some "muh equality reason", and I know for a fact from my MMO experiences that women's MMO characters are among the girliest and sluttiest, beaten only be ERPers, so I'm not going to pretend it's cause "women want it". This is entirely personal. I like women in realistic armor. It soothes my autism. It looks cool. Let me make all of my characters like that.

(mages and rogues are fair game; give them reasonable clothes, sure, but they have so much more liberty to show off tits, asses and thighs. mmmmm.)

I don't care how skimpy or bare an 'armour' makes a character look so long as it makes some sense or has some justification.

It's what I've discussed with my group for tabletop games. Martial artist who can't wear armour? Fine, wear a fucking bikini or go naked. Rules say it's fine. A spellcaster can wear heels and a cocktail dress as much as they want.

Like wise if a video game says a mage can't wear armour, why not go lightly dressed? So long as you can carry your stuff otherwise, doesn't matter. Shit, I have a pathfinder barbarian with so much damage resistance that against hordes of mooks, I will try and set her up with wearing fuck all but chest bindings and a loincloth for taunting/intimidation purposes. Conversely I have a grappler monk who takes his top off whenever he fights 'cause it makes sense to limit what people can grab on him.

At the end of the day, why not have an ability in a fantasy game to 'glamour' a piece of armour so it looks like the most skimpy of bikinis but if you want some practical wear, it can be?

I always liked how Kirin armor in Monster Hunter is skimpy as hell male or female. Equality at its finest.
>>
>>378605971
>I didn't actually play WoW I just believe what I read on the internet

Pretty much every revealing female armor also had a revealing male counter part, except maybe showing off the naval or something for some light armor which would be a full shirt on a male character. None of that even matters anyways, because there have always been vanity equipment slots in WoW which easily cover your character, like tabards.

You straight boys pretending you know what makes a man sexy are so hilarious

There's nothing sexual about He-man, for instance. His proportions are so overblown that they're comical. He's supposed to look like an epic hero, not a sex icon. I have more desire to have sex with women than I do with someone who would actually look like He-man.

Just because a man has his shirt off, doesn't mean he's being sexualized. Just like you could put your grandma in a bikini top and that doesn't suddenly mean every man wants to have sex with her.

Your typical video game male is specifically designed to be less sexualized. In the rare case that they go shirtless, they typically have scars (Geralt, Kratos) all over their body specifically to make them less sexual, or they have such a ridiculous physique as to make them non-human (obscene muscle mass). It's just incredibly rare for a video game male to actually be both attractive, have a good body, and be sexualized all at the same time. In recent memory, the only one that comes to mind is Gladiolus, and even he has scars and tattoos on his body to detract from the fact that he's half naked. They also made his ass very flat and blocky. Incredibly disappointing.

On the subject of FFXV, it's funny that strategic buttflaps are 100% true. If you take off Noctis's jacket, you can see they've given him this bizarre idle pose that makes his ass stick out as little as possible, because he's basically arched backwards

I wish men got the treatment women get in games but they just don't, or it's incredibly rare
>>
>>378606101
But in video games armor protection is determined by the stats instead of what it looks like. And since there's no difference between male and female armor stats what's the problem?
>>
>>378606178
>>378606236
>>378605971
I guess three lines of greentext was too much, I was talking about older games having skimpy armor when people are complaining as if it's games TODAY that have the forced chainmail bikini problem.

Also, in any game that lets you pick between a male/female character and armor has a visible effect on your character, you are pretty much never forced to wear skimpy armor, even in vanilla WoW. As far as I know every RPG dev knew they had to make the best armor look cool more than sexy.
>>
>>378606895
I don't know if it's just how it was translated, but from the description on each piece it seems pretty dang protective. Note the flavor text of the legs specifically:

>Thunderous leg guards surrounded by a magnetic field that repels attacks.

The rubber insulation on each piece implies that electricity plays a big part in how it is protective.

a bloody example rather than just saying "They exist trust me I heard about it on the internet"

Korean MMOs don't even have skimpy outfits by default, what they do is they make skimpy/sexy outfits cash shop items that go over the dull, boring armor that you're normally given. That is not forced, they're purposely trying to take advantage of horny losers for money.

>>378607484
>Monster hunter
The best sets in those games are ridiculous looking clown suits. Even if you want to go for a full set because you hate clown suits you aren't forced to wear Kirin armor you know.

You can make any armor piece look like another armor piece, so no. The best armor in the game isn't anything near sexy except maybe for shit like Demon Hunter's.

What I'm saying is that the sexiness of a man is far more related to how cool he is.

I doubt very much that the same could be said of women's attraction to male characters.

Yeah wow, look at all those over sexualized outfits the female character has, she clearly has no choice but to wear something super revealing.

There's maybe like 2-4 sets per game that are clearly sex appeal, and they are usually just as revealing on male characters. Please actually play these games before you complain about them.

Serious? Women love clueless bumbling idiots. As long as you are attractive.

An example of a sexy male character for females based off physical appearance alone is a friendly masculine face, typically shirtless and fit with fit pants and tight butt.

Thing is, very very few games even have depictions of this in recent memory other than Tera.

Which had a ton of options for all varieties. But ended up mostly for gay men and heterosexual men.
>>

Try playing every mmo and western fantasy rpg from the 2000s. It was always like this before the whole gamergate thing.

Also no, realism still wins out in the end. However, the problem these days is that most rpgs have fucking shit armor designs. It seems only Japan can make cool looking armor.

You clearly don't play the games, the whole purpose of talismans and jewels is so you can get effects from armor sets that normally don't have them, not to mention there are multiple armor sets that share skills typically.

And once again, if you're worried about being optimal and having a perfect set and being potentially forced into a revealing outfit that way, you aren't forced to wear a sexy outfit ever, you're actually forced to wear stupid ridiculous looking outfits that are some bizarre amalgamation of multiple different armor sets, so unless if clown suits are your fetish then I doubt it counts as a sexy outfit.

There are literal fuck tons of sexy armor in this throughout the series more than I initially realized before looking this up.

And I would have to compile a fucking mosiac to include most of them by saving each individual image which I will not do.

But I think I have proved my point is that there are definitely sets High rank ones too that a female character would have to switch into that would be considered skimpy.

Which all I was trying to purport to begin with.

You guys just picked MH out of the list I set out because you guys are autistic losers who somehow forgot these sets existed.

Once again you are throwing around that phrase for some reason.

Are there sexy outfits for females? Yes there are. Are you FORCED to wear them? Never. Not even for optimal play, in fact the optimal outfits are usually boring or look horrendous. The closest thing you can get to "Being forced" is having a revealing outfit basically fall into your lap for free because of lucky RNG and wearing it simply because it's available.

>You guys just picked MH out of the list I set out because you guys are autistic losers who somehow forgot these sets existed.

Except I also told you why you blatantly wrong about Diablo 3, you can transmog any armor to look like another piece, so if you don't want to wear a sexy outfit but it happens to be good armor then you can just change how it looks to something you like.

Your other example was "Korean MMO's" which is not a specific example, and as far as I know is generally wrong anyways, since Korean MMOs love to lock sexy outfits behind micro transactions and to make the default armor look as boring as possible to try and make a quick buck.

The most crucial piece of protective equipment, the helmet... check
The second most crucial piece of protective equipment, the cuirass... check
A reasonable weapon combo (rapier and dagger)... check

I guess you could complain about boob plate but the cuirass avoids a common issue in not terminating before waist (which would severely hamper mobility) so it's not too bad. A more reasonable combat outfit than most (for men and women alike).

Maybe because armor sets for both genders were more popular in MMOs. Most rpgs back then had a set character to play as so you couldnt compare armor sets and in JRPGs at the time, armor was just numbers with no visual effects.
>>
>>378610886

Ok then.

Let's say you are hunting a Naragacuga as a female hunter and want it for it's set ability. BAM forced to wear sexy ninja gear. Literally any sexy MH set could have this as it's example.

Diablo 3, yeah transmogs exist but there were and are top tier sets that are sexy. Sure you aren't forced to wear these in these scenarios due to transmogs.

So lets go with Diablo 1 and 2 for my examples instead of 3 then. Which you are forced to play sexy female characters.

Korean MMO's.

Tera, Blade and Soul, BDO all have extremely sexualized outfits. There are probably 100s of these. However you can transmog these as well in most cases, some have a pretty high cost too if you want it to look like other sets.

Do you really need a list for more examples?

Like Mortal Kombat, DOA, Gauntlet, etc.

Just from the top of my head.

I can go right ahead onto the internet and pile on a list of 50 more if you like.

Truth. Men have naturally healthier looking skin (due to male skin being thicker) and have other stereotypically feminine traits like longer eyelashes naturally.

Part of the reason male traps are so effective is that much of the "feminine" features that people idolize men naturally embody better. The other part of the reason is that most women can't be bothered to fucking work out or just not be obese.

>Narga
But you aren't forced to wear Nargacuga armor for evade distance?
If you're talking about early game where you don't have much flexibility, then you definitely aren't forced to wear any specific armor set in any situation, in fact, if you suck at the game and you need help the best armor will be some clunky looking armor to fit its defensive bonuses, so even if you're having a hard time you won't suddenly want to equip something like Narga (Which is also weak to fire, which will make things infinitely harder for beginners in any MH game)

>So lets go with Diablo 1 and 2 for my examples instead of 3 then. Which you are forced to play sexy female characters.

Other than that you're just getting into old games where there is none or very limited graphical customization for your characters, which certainly wasn't what we were talking about. See >>378605674 where I'm specifically complaining about how old games with 0 customization were where the "Well armored man, sexy skimpy lady" were the problem.

Diablo 1 and 2 aren't even good examples either when it's practically impossible to see any sexy features on your characters except maybe the Barb's naked chest.
DOA is just a dumb example, you might as well be complaining about porn games being pornographic at that point.
>>
>>378611482

Narga set isn't the only one with those skills you stupid fuck. Not to mention the male set is basically the same fucking thing anyway. Your argument is retarded.

Tera at least, has JUST as skimpy of shit for the men. Look at male elves for fuck sake. There are tons of sets showing off their chests/abs for no reason. Tera is a really shitty example.

I don't care if the clothes are different you fucking retard, i care if the armor would serve a practical function in actually protecting something.

So here's the problem: clothing has a protection factor from both the elements and the armor itself.

If you want to go full sexy, just use metal dishes on the nipples and a postage-stamp sized crotch plate and call it a day - or some variation of that. If you want to go full practical, cover everything from the neck down. Anything in-between is just crappy cosplay or puritan porn.

Evade Dist +3 +2 +3 +1 +1 +10 Evade Distance Up
Constitutn +2 +3 +2 +4 +4 +15 Constitution +2
Plus the option of using talismans for other things.
In MHFU you will be forced to wear the Narcaguga set.

You want recent games. Ok. I will give you a list.

I understand combat and value logic above all" and you go on nitpicking this stupid shit that is made purely for the fuck of it. The overwhelming irony of it all is that you're the biggest motherfucking retard alive for actually believing you're the only one who can perceive the stratigic faults of these designs and thinking other people aren't as perceptive as you. here's a reality check you fucking cock wrangler. Everyone is aware of these things. They don't spend hours whining about it on image boards and forums and fucking youtube comment sections. Not because they're stupid, uneducated or unperceptive. It's because it's insignificant shit, and they aren't insecure enough to go whine about trivial realism bullshit in cheap, flashy entertainment.

Then you should be playing games that are realistic. There's some out there that do that whole thing where armor and weapons are setup like medieval times.

Also women weren't in full armor on the front lines. It wasn't practical at all.

If you complain about practical armor in a fantasy game with crazy monsters, giant glowing weapons and magic? Then fucking kill yourself. Nothing is meant to be practical in that sort of setup.

Except to prove that someone is FORCED to do something you have to prove that there is no other option. I don't know why you can't understand that.

If I want specifically Evade distance and constitution +2 for some reason then sure I guess Narga armor is the easiest option, but why on earth would you ever think someone is FORCED to need those two abilities? Constitution isn't even close to required on any set and evade distance up is not only on other sets, but you can easily get with a talisman and/or jewels. You even seem to sort of realize this yourself when you say "Plus the option of using talismans for other things". Why can't I wear another set for those other things and then use talismans to get evade distance up and constitution if I wanted?

Clothing does offer some protective value as well. There are historical accounts of sword cuts being rendered ineffective by winter uniforms for example.

But ultimately, the idea I wanted to confer (mostly a response to >>378612762) is that the equipment actually DOES protect the parts of the body that historically were the first to be protected). You don't see post-gunpowder cavalrymen with gorgets, cuisses and mail sleeves to protect neck, femoral arteries and armpits for example. No, it was helmets and cuirasses. Similarly, as opposed to, say, the male in OPs picture (despite having his body fully covered besides head), those actually are armour rather than leather bondage gear or civilian clothing. Likewise, rapier (which admittedly is short, I treated it as an artist's choice to make it fit the frame), while it's specialized for unarmoured combat, ultimately still comes from a time when you might expect to face greatswords or halbers or other weapons of war and is substantial enough to oppose them. It's a weapon that could be used in war, as opposed to, say, giant swords larger than even ceremonial weapons, or dual wielding daggers, or whatever.

Because they are cannon fodder that's reused countless times. They get put in normal armor so they don't stand out vs players in fancy looking gear. They get put in normal armor cause it's low poly count, easy to slap together and then the devs can put clones of normal foot soldiers all over the place.

It's basic fucking story telling. The guys who aren't important and normal? Are in normal old armor. Players or important people are in outrageous looking clothes.

Thank you. There is something far more absurd than magic and the seeming absurdity in not having full body protection (which was not uncommon historically). The king of absurdities is in the stupidly large and over designed swords that typically wouldn't be practical in context even IF they weren't stupidly large or over designed.

jesus, you fags are retarded. all the traits you guys love, are objectively feminine. thick lips, long eyelashes, soft faces, button noses, those are all features that the majority of women have. Men in contrast are far more likely to have prominent noses, narrow eyes, rough skin, thin lips, thick eyebrows and overall harsher features. Don't fool yourselves, you just like guys that look like girls.

To be honest, I dont even know why there are female options to begin with. Just make them female companions or something. Women fighting in combat just looks so silly, especially with all the retarded shit they wear. They should all be healers and buffers.

Nier 2b is autolocked with sexy dress.

p5 has anna with that sexy ass outfit which cannot be changed in cutscenes.
bayonetta is blatently sexy and removes hair during battle.
d5 has a number of sexy character who you can change to an all non sexy party. But you are forced to use some sexy characters if you want their specific moves abilities.

http://www.dermalinstitute.com/us/library/17_article_Is_a_Man_s_Skin_Really_Different_.html
Regardless of age, men have a higher collagen density than women; this is the ratio of collagen to the thickness of the skin. Researchers believe that the higher collagen density accounts for why women appear to age faster than men of the same age. When considering intrinsic (genetically-programmed) aging of the skin, it has been said that women are about 15 years older than men of the same age

In species where males compete for mating rights this is actually pretty common. Humans share this characteristic.

Fashion. It isn't the armor, it's the outfit. Scroll up the thread and (aside from the full suits, which are a whole other practical argument) the male and female versions armor the same basic areas. Feet, hands, joints, and maybe the neck/chest and/or hips. The biggest difference in most cases is that the males wear a shirt and pants with it, they put the 'suit' in suit of armor. The females don't. I don't care enough to argue social reasons for it on /v/, go ask a girl why she's exposing so much next time you see one.

>Male characters in proper armor while female characters were in skimpy clothing was only a major trend in the SNES era where graphics got good enough to show cleavage but didn't usually have graphical customization for different outfits
>Today every game has revealing outfits for both male and female characters since equipping different armor has a visible effect and games can have hundreds of different armor sets
>People pretend like it's games today that have the problem when you can just change your outfit or even strip a male character to his underwear, and skimpy outfits are almost always a choice rather than forced on you.

Your original statement. Games nowadays have in fact gotten MORE sexualized with even more options to exclusively be sexy characters with no option otherwise unless you want a hindrance.

There are a plethora of examples of this. And they aren't stopping, in fact more are coming out than ever!
>>
>>378614534
Weren't you supposed to be talking about how male characters in games are dressed appropriately while females are purposely put in revealing outfits?

If you want to complain about sexy characters you should start by complaining about pornography. If someone buys a game like Bayonetta they shouldn't suddenly get offended that sometimes sexy things happen when she's showing off her ass on the box art.

They're completely right though. Men have longer lashes and faces with sharper angles, which is the traditional idea of beauty. The "button noses" you're referring to are what make most women look like disgusting swine.
>>
>>378614926
You're talking about games where you are forced to play as a specific character, and sometimes that character is sexy. I was talking about games that at the very least, had character customization like being able to pick a male or female character (Which in older games usually only had one outfit, where the male would be well dressed but the female would be skimpy)

Not only that but some of your games definitely don't force the player to play as a sexy character anyways. Sure Elphelt in GG has big boobs but why do I have to play as her? Why can't I play as Chipp or something instead? Lots of people pick characters to play based on how they look so if I don't like how someone looks I can just pick a different character.

It makes sense in a setting where magic exists, because you could come up with shit like muscle wizardry, but in an explicitly non-magical setting like For Honor, women wearing armour and being on par with men is completely inane.

The overwhelming irony of it all is that you're the biggest motherfucking retard alive for actually believing you're the only one who can perceive the stratigic faults of these designs and thinking other people aren't as perceptive as you. here's a reality check you fucking cock wrangler. Everyone is aware of these things. They don't spend hours whining about it on image boards and forums and fucking youtube comment sections. Not because they're stupid, uneducated or unperceptive. It's because it's insignificant shit, and they aren't insecure enough to go whine about trivial realism bullshit in cheap, flashy entertainment.

I know that this is bait. But the reason is as follows:

>It is ok for women to say that they can wear clothes like this and they should not be judged, but it is not ok if a game character wears it.
>Traditional gender roles go as follows: Women stay at home doing housechores, taking care of children and increase the population / Men fight, work and protect women. With this in mind, what is it with the double standard about fighting sexism in videogames yet in games like call of duty you get to brutally murder hundreds of men but just 1 or 2 women in the singleplayer? Why is it that when you get to kill a few women in Hitman, Feminists cry out in outrage? Its either all ok or nothing ok.

Sexy women are boring. Every knows beautiful and cute women is where its at. A beautiful face encased in righteous steel and blessed by God is the choice of patricians.

There isn't any "evidence" of what sex is more attractive you dolts. It's completely subjective. I for one much prefer the female body, but I'm not going to shove down everyone's throat how it's aesthetically superior solely based on my own opinions. Just stop

>Oh as if females aren't programmed to find muscular men attractive.
The appeal of Bishounen directly contradicts this. When it comes to sexual appeal Otter mode tends to be the muscular ideal. This is probably for the best anyways as anything more tends to take excessive dedication (for someone who actually has a job) or steroids to accomplish.

What men aspire to be is what women are attracted to.
What men are attracted to is what women despise.

I don't find that many women appear to be really into otter mode.
Society in general seems to vastly overstate the attractiveness of abs.
If you look around, a lot of women like larger huskier men. Not necessarily muscular, but larger.

Of course it varies from individual to individual and especially culture to culture.
Generally speaking I don't think women like for their men to be thinner than they are.

That men can attain higher beauty does not mean that women can't be beautiful as well. That you think only homosexuals can acknowledge male beauty is your problem.

If you want realism, women wouldn't even be playable.

Or maybe they'd be cooks or something. Get real, women aren't warriors.

And no, its not because 'the man' says you cant, it's because gender isn't a social construct, and you get shat on.

This is the silliest looking shit ever. You've got the nicely detailed armor, shield and weapon, then the stupid fucking animu face. It just looks photoshopped onto better art, like some stupid 12 year old deviantart shit.

Cohesive art. Either make the whole thing as stupid as the animu face, or the face as detailed as the rest of the art.

Or you make mods.

We need to throw Abrahamic religions and Feminism into the trash first.
Those are the only 4 collectives who invented and maintain the idea of sexual moralizing.
All other cultures in the world don't have that shit.

Even ancient egyptians and classical greeks were clothed skimpy as fuck, fishnets (in terms of egyptian women), and all that good stuff, and there existed no shame or stigma about it in those times.

There is no double standards. Females find masculinity attractive and objects of their desire have strong masculine features, deep voice, assertive personality. Armor exaggerates shoulders and chest which are masculine.

Males find femininity attractive so yeah: boobs, bellies, all that shit. Sometimes it's stupid sometimes it's not but there is no double standard. The standard is for everyone to get off and everyone has their opportunities to get off and it's perfectly natural that different sexes get off to different things.

Just read the thread, it's pretty much 80% gay posting so thanks i guess, real educational.

But I partly retract my statement: while big guys in big armor would be attractive irl as they tower over women, the simple image of them isn't so. Still, in order for character to be attractive to women, not homos, open tshirt is usually good enough.

Anyway, I agree that there are ways to make guys look attractive that are more open than plate armor it doesn't have to go into the bikini territory to be so.
