First off, don't get me wrong!

I am personally amazed at the way that Benny's "shoulder armor" holds everything togther. And she is pretty darn cute for a green troll. Very convinsing as a female so to speak. (cuddos to Lars, I do like how Benny looks)


BUT,

I don't think female characters would actually dress this way. If your going to wear armor, shouldn't it actually COVER something that might get cut off during a battle?

Yes the shoulder pads could block a few good strikes, but why bother swinging for her neck, when you can just stab for her heart? And she has NO protection for a swing at her waist.

If your going to tell me that she doesn't need armour, 'cause she has her magic to keep her warm... then why bother with the shoulder pads?

Krunch is underdressed too, but that is Krunch's character. And besides, he does not have the same sex appeal as Benny.

*Cringes and waits for pies to be thrown*

Three reasons.

Fantasy is a Male/Lesbian dominated world.*


Chainmail bikinis are hot.


As the publisher of Hawt Sword Babes weekly, I have my goons hunt down and "silence" anyone who promotes full coverage armour for females.




*Or Woman/Gay, Look at all them male barbarians. Rawr!

While I agree, I'd like to point out how skinny she is, honestly no-one can be that skinny and survive. And I think maybe the shoulder pads are useless, and how does she keep them on, they kinda just sit there balanced on her shoulders. What holds them up. Even as I say this though it gets me thinking, Benny is supposed to be poking fun at all the girls in fantasy novels right?

We already have a topic for that.



She's distinctly not trapped in a castle by an evil sorcerer, or in love with the protagonist.

Maybe the joke is that she's actually a character and not a Kiera Knightley?

That's what this comic needs to make it big. More Keira Knightley. In fact, go ahead and make it all Keira Knightley. Yeah, that aughta do it.

Yeah, it's all eye candy.
Chainmail Bikinis pinch like nobody's business, ouch!

In all seriousness, I think that she is dressed like that because it is a parody.

I don't think you could find armor that is sexy and still functional, since the purpose of armor is to protect the body it is bulky and covering, not really conducive to sexiness.

Also, as every MMO/Table top players know, if you're a casting type, you're not allowed much armor to begin with.

And its a very well known fact that if any female character does not show excessive amounts of cleavage, no matter what armor they wear, they are burned at the stake as a witch.

I like the cleavage... its the stereotype that bothers!





"You can do anything in a cartoon"

well there is one instance where the female character is one of hte main characters and does seem to have fully functional armour 0.0

anyone played the gamecube Fire Emblem? Titania wears fully body armour and is the strongest character you start with, sometimes even the strongest at the end. Maybe the stereotype is finally getting noticed and "fixed"?

Or maybe they knew that most GBA games are marketed towards kids and didn't want to sex her up as much?

Now that you mention it, a lot of Gamecube females are much more conservatively dressed. Even the busty Sheena from Tales of Symphonia. The only girls with revealing clothing tend to be on games that are also available on other systems.

Speaking of console games though, has anyone played Beyond Good and Evil?

well, mainly, nintendo has, does, and always will market towards a prepubescent market, that is why the need for scanitly clad lady-types doesn't exist on their consoles. Others such as Sony and Microsoft will market towards the adolescent and adult audiences with the violent games and the scantily-clad lady types.

It's been a while since I've been prepubescent (at least three days now), but I don't recall scantily-clad lady types ever detracting from the experience.



And that's why you're not the Nintendo spokes person (Or rather, Hotty in Sash. Chicks don't get real jobs.)

You just killed a few sales.

they dont detract from it, its just most parents wont allow their young children to buy games with the scantily clad lady types

I only have 1 thing to say.
Anyone who finds trolls, orcs, undead, night elf, blood elf, dwarf, or gnome chicks hot,
SHALL
BE
KILLED!


But yes, chicks can wear affective armor, and still look hot.
It works..
Some how.

Why? The more sex, the less violence.

Like those Beach-Volley ball spin offs of combat games, or XXX Sports. You play as a scantily clad girl, and when you win - you get more scantily clad girls.

It's like Tony Hawk Skateboarding, with the only thing the aforementioned game truly lacked - Boobs! (unless you did the code to get the bikini chick I suppose)

Your interest in hiding women or making them wear full plate is oppressive.

Free yourself ladies, burn the protective gear forced upon you by a patriarchal society. You are women, you have boobs, slaughter the zombie hordes with your snatches out I say*!


I am totally a feminist.


*There might be a hygiene warning to go with interacting with the undead whilst nude....

I believe its called AIDS.

But, you see, if women went naked into war, they'd win.
All the guys would stare, and it is kinda hard to run with an "object" in thier pants.

That sexy Chemo look aside, how in heck do you make that connection?



Iron Man photos exist that are somewhat contrary to that opinion.




How do you figure? If the enemy was sending naked women to war against us, why wouldn't we send our own naked women to meet them?

We could sell tickets.

I think you overestimate women, If we sent naked men at them, we've a good chance of turning it into an enormous blood stained orgy.

zombies dont have AIDS, they have Solanum, and that is a health hazard, pfff...AIDS from a zed, preposterous

also, in regards to the running with the object, I would like to propose that if small enough, (such as 1337's) one may be able to carry on for miles without much hinderance

come on, I just had to make a wang insult, it just had to be done

Iron Man?

The superhero or the competition?


Also, havent u heard the song?

We've All got AIDS!
AIDS, AIDS, AIDS!

*shakes head in shame*

robots cant get AIDS 1337, they dont have any organs

Who here is a robot?

Beside Verbose, hes a spam bot.

Iron Man was a person INSIDE of an Iron suit..

metal suits are the world's best condoms you know, I dont think he could get out

I think we need a womans opinion here.
Wouldn't a metal condom hurt like SHIT?


Also, he could get out, thats why he had a few differen suits.

um...I think we can all agree that metal condoms would infact hurt like hell

Good.
As long as we agree, we will not need Rae Rae's or Kay's input.

speaking of "input" I'm sure verbose is willing to give out free tutorials on that subject

Thats just creepy.

well, I had to bring him in somehow, I call it "playing the verbose card", the very mentioning of his name and some moderate innuendo is more than enough to stop the common 1337 in his tracks

You see, thats where you fail.

Im not common in any way.

I have my own 13375|*34|<

...Well, 'cept heterosexuality.

not as much as the sandpaper ones

I guess they'd have to be Wet and Dry....

I'm CONTROLLED by a robot. Does that count?

This thing has deraailed long enouh. Go play outside now! You need the fresh air. I'll call you back in when dinner is ready.

Go! Shoo!

Closed!

G!
