Armor is armor

For trashposting and memes about Souls games developed by FromSoft.
Be civil and don't make me write rules here.
My right-wing friend was legitimately upset that my female Elden Ring character was wearing masculine-looking armor. I was like "why does it matter!?"
They could just like...not make her wear "masculine" armor lol
Huh? Who, my friend or the game developers? Either way, she's just wearing regular armor. It just happens to not be unrealistically feminine...
Your friend. There are feminine armor sets in the game, but they chose to make their character wear a masculine set lol
No, I think you're misunderstanding everything. Again, it's my female character and my friend is the one who has a problem with the fact that this in-game character doesn't wear feminine attire...
Ooooh lol I see, my bad
I wouldn't even refer to it as "masculine." It's more just "functional."
The alternative (as seen in the original image) is just plain stupid. Armor like should be saved for the bedroom... Or a slutty Halloween costume, I guess.
100% agreed. I'm a straight guy but one of my biggest pet peeves is armor with cleavage cut-outs. If you really feel the need to objectify the character like that, just don't put her in armor at all.
Or be one of the few works that puts everone in skimpy outfits, regardless of sex or gender.
Say what you will, but the Duras sisters ushered me into puberty and I have no regrets.
"Gals is it gay to want to survive a stabin'?"
There should be two kinds of armour. Not male and female, but functional and fun.
It took the skyrim modding community 10 years before the male equivalent brought male slut armour. And yes, it is called HIMBO.
your friend jut has no taste, women in full-plate are peak sexiness
I can see helping to put on or take off armour to have potential for tender intimacy - not the raunchy sexual kind, more like reaching beneath the plate to adjust the doublet, asking if it sits right now? Pulling the straps, checking the articulation of the faulds, the seat of the pants so the ride won't leave her sore, straightening out her mail voiders, using a piece if char to draw a heart on the gorget, a cheesy pun about gorgetous, a squeeze of her arm before affixing the gauntlet. A last kiss on the cheek before she pulls up the hauberk and dons the helmet, helping her mount, handing her the lance, and off she goes to bring the thunder.
Shit, did I just write knightly romance?
(War is a gruesome business, mind, but this romantisation of medieval warfare would fit right in with people like Bertran de Born, who was quite convinced that war is awesome. That doesn't reflect my view, but as an epoch piece, it would be fairly accurate.)
and then ppl like that will whine about the fragile left lol
Lefts not going to be fragile in that armor though
