I know we all hate combat wheelchairs, but can the same arguments against them also be applied to bikini armor?

>Disabled people shouldn't be in combat
Neither should large breasted women

>Wheelchairs are ineffective
So is bikini armor

Bikini armor hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and insisting it’s on the same level of asinine as combat wheelchairs is like when the makers of that Netflix Cleopatra show defended portraying her as black because “some white girl did the same thing in the 50s.”

The issue with combat wheelchairs is that they highlighted how common people have no control over the hobby anymore. Some silly little third-party splat got seized by every major company and entertainment group within months of the release despite nobody in the fandom really caring. Everything about the hobby has been corporatized, sanitized and safely packaged into little sound bites to feed your conscience either Good Thought or Bad Thought.

Nobody fucking does bikini armor anymore, and on the rare occasions they do it’s an explicit callback or mockery of the aesthetic. It’s not on the same level as wheelchairs. I’ve seen the combat wheelchair in a multi-million dollar cartoon made by a critically-acclaimed acting group. The last time I saw bikini armor was goon threads on /tg/ posting art made in the 2000s. Don’t come at me with this comparison because it reeks of privilege, “oh I can safely mock bikini armor because my opinion on combat wheelchairs is assured. No matter how viciously people in this thread mocks combat wheelchairs, when I close the thread they’re still popular to companies and media moguls.” It’s pure privilege, you’re not the subversive culture anymore, you’ve become the establishment. Remember that next time you get bitter about “Chuds” gaining ground on something, because I’ve seen the same story (and in many cases, same arguments) happen in 2014.

Many warriors throughout history have gone into battle naked or near-naked, can the same be said for the wheelchair-bound?
>>
>>96704237
plot twist: everyone agrees that going half naked is fine (as commanded by holy texts of the ancestors), but theres a fierce schism on which half it should be - there's the topless, the bottomless, the horizontals, the diagonals, the bunnysuits, and the reverse bunnysuits.
>>
>>96704129
The difference is that a women in bikini armor can still move around freely without having to assume the BBEG was nice enough to include ramps.

You can make a disabled character so long as it requires less suspension of disbelief that they'll be active.

Take FMA where the MC has missing limbs, but uses prosthetics, so he is still able to move around, even if said prosthetic needs tons of maintenance.

Correct statement. If you want me to take your setting seriously, then every actual CQC battlefield combatant better be a fit male. Cripples and cunts are only allowed to do the occasional magic shit and maybe play some sort of accessory role in religion and politics. It should be rare and nigh unheard of to even have a queen ruling alone, for example, and if you go the retarded bulldyke Mary Sue route where she's stronk indpent womun, she better face severe internal pressures from her court as a consequence of that retardation.
>>
>>96704129
No, and that's gay as fuck.

Supple, bikini-clad women are a feature in pulp, which is the foundation of medieval tabletop roleplaying games.
>>
>>96704129
Do you bitch about male warriors running into battle in bare chests and loincloths too? No? Then kindly fuck off with your strawman, OP.
>>
>>96704129
>but can the same arguments against them also be applied to bikini armor?
Plenty of women want to have bigger tits. Everyone would prefer to be able to walk.
Therefore, in a world full of magic, it makes sense that you would see people using magic to get bigger tits and make magical armor that shows that off, just like how you'd see people using magic in order to heal injuries so they can walk again.
Furthermore, people in real life use wheelchairs. People in real life don't wear bikini armor. Bikini armor is already more fantastical by that alone.

In a gritty low-magic setting, neither makes sense. In a high-magic setting, wheelchairs still don't make sense, because the solution should be something more fantastical and less like real life.

To give another example of where the logic you used extends, why not try to apply this logic to zombies? Realistically, a decaying corpse isn't an effective soldier, because it going to fall apart simply from marching, let alone any actual battle.
The conclusion is that while being unrealistic can take away from something, it can also add to it if that thing is suitably fantastical.

Automail in general is a major part of the setting and a response to the many recent wars in Amestris' history instead of being a thinly veiled appeal for attention like combat wheelchairs are.

This. You can use disabilities as gameplay elements but it was blatantly obvious WoTC is deathly afraid of implementing any kind of downside to being wheelchairbound.

If someone wants to play a character in a combat wheelchair then they have to sell the idea to the rest of the group as being something genuinely cool that won't make everyone else feel embarrassed to be around. You need to make the immobility fit to the character's idea.
On the other hand, if someone wants to play as a sexy bikini armour clad slut, they'd best be prepared to convince the rest of the group they're not gonna make everyone uncomfortable by trying to ERP despite being a fat ugly grown ass man with a lisp. You're not trying to convince us about the idea itself, but about your intentions in doing so.
>>
>>96704129
the problem with combat wheelchairs is not that they're combat wheelchairs but that the only way WotC could think of implementing a way to make disabled PCs was combat wheelchairs
there are so many other possibilities and they chose exactly one and it was the most egregiously corporatized idea possible

>>96704285
None of them went into battle in a wheelchair
they sensibly used horses or other fitting mobility tools.
No one is complaining about having people without legs in a game, the problem is the combat wheelchair being a straight up copy of modern wheelchairs with zero thought how they fit in the setting.
If, instead of actual wheelchairs they used walking golems, trained animals, floating disks, or anything that made sense no one would have batted an eye.

This sort of wheelchair is LITERALLY on the same tech level as a modern car. Not even exaggerating.

Hm. Yes. That is some very full armour, right there.
I have actually used this gimmick before. A pseudo-Byzantine god-king claims to be the son of the local war goddess, and given he's not dead yet there must be *some* kind of relation there- so he has the head of the cult go around wearing belly-armour as a ceremonial attire.

We can but AC is not really armor, DR is and bikini armor doesn't offer DR but allows higher AC for being lighter in the form of Dex bonus.

This is a good post. Bikini armor is dead and has been dead for years. Why compare it to combat wheelchairs? Because if you didn't you'd have nothing else - what's the last "unfortunate" aesthetic in the hobby? Moral busybodies have already changed everything they want about the game, and rather than recognize they are, in fact, the moral majority they crack open the crypts and wheel out dusty old bones to claim as an opponent.

It's absurd.
>>
>>96704129
Magic can explain away the bikini armor. Sure it would make wheelchair usable too, but more importantly it would fix the fucking cripple and therefore the idea is just dumb.

Ah fuck my evil twin answered earlier than me.
Well, then let me add a little bit:
The issue with combat wheelchair isn’t to have “warriors with disabilities”.
No one would bat an eye at having a PC that’s a blind swordsman, or a pirate with a peg leg, or a berserker with a prosthetic arm. That’s cool as hell.
Fuck, I will even take a crippled PC riding on top of an NPC ogre, Master Blaster style.
The problem with the wheelchair is that it’s so fucking obviously anachronistic and not fitting the genre (not to mention completely pointless. I mean, seriously, who wants to run, in a fantasy setting, a character that’s paralysed from the waist down and is absolutely HELL BENT on him using a wheelchair?)
as if… you know… it was imagined this way on purpose, as a troll which was taken seriously and ended up like another one of those stuff from the woke era which are just designed to rub it in your face that “we are taking away your toys Chud, and you can’t even complain about it”.
Well, fuck you, woke is dead, they won’t be able to pull this kind of shit for at least two generations and good fucking riddance.
>>
>>96704129
You can still navigate a Dungeon in a bikini and with great honking bazongas. The combat wheelchair is also stupid when Magic exists that could just fix your crippled legs and all the other myriad magical options that make a wheelchair completely invalid.

combat wheelchair is stupid because it's a saturday morning show concession to diversity and inclusion.
you're playing a game where your imagination is the limit, you don't need to give a fuck that mr nolegs has no real alternative to a wheelchair.
Metal prosthetic limbs (>>96704277) that are in some ways better than real limbs is possible.
So are being such a good horse rider (>>96706275) that it isn't a disability as long as you're on top of a horse.
There are plenty of other interesting ideas: Psychics moving himself with his mind, a shapeshifter that can regain his movements while transformed, a mutant with long strong arms that he uses to walk around and so on.

I have no issue with either, and to be honest no one has ever come ask me to play with neither in a game of mine i don't feel compelled to include them in general.
To me it feels like the people complaining about this are fighting with shadows, since nor one nor the other have cause them any issues in real life.
The combat bikini was always a /v/ problem shit in the first place, since the actual issues was buying an armor that didn't look the same when the character wear it, in a tabletop game you just describe the armor and that's how it looks and if you don't like it you don't buy it, it's not really an issue.
And the wheelchair it's like crafting rules, for a very specific subset of people, not really for the public at large. And just like crafting, it doesn't bother me that they have them.
I really think this is just getting angry for the sake of getting angry.

As has been said before, the wheelchair caused gripes because it was a completely manufactured issue broadcast to the fandom like it was the hottest thing since sliced bread. The word everyone forgot to use is “astroturfing.” The wheelchair bothers people because it reminded them who the companies actually listen to.

Correct: all expressed opinions on either boil down to "I like it!" and "I don't like it!"

No one has ever gone into a conversation about either honestly. It's as simple as expressing preferences, and trying to rationalize your way to defending them.

>>

No, it can't. The purpose of combat wheelchairs is to make useless broken shitty people feel less useless, broken and shitty, which is an objective minus for the group when it would be better for them to get someone less broken and snowflakey. The purpose of bikini armor is to play to a woman's strength - being eye candy. Which is an objective plus for the group as long as she's not a screeching feminist hag, in which case she too should fuck off from the table.

Not complicated.

Streaming with an avatar gives the content creator a method of direct control over what they look like. They could look like literally anything they could possibly imagine.

While I don't disagree that most people generally like being hot, you realize they do this for money, right? Especially vtubers with agencies - they might have some say in the design but (for example) every single HoloLive girl was designed that way to consciously appeal to an audience consisting of primarily Japanese salarymen. Even if there's not an agency involved it's still profitable, there's a reason twitch had the bathtub stream controversy a year or two back.

Bikini armour and sexy armour in general is never dying for as long as people are horny, the fact that corposlop isn't going to go near that stuff for the time being hasn't made hot chicks any less popular in my experience. As soon as you get away from the reach of Western companies they quickly start popping up in art and looks again. Artists like 'em, fans like 'em, and Asian devs in gaming also keep making them, it's an evergreen.

Don't know about the long-term appeal of combat-wheelchairs tho.

Frontline fighters in wheelchair are only really if the wheelchair is more of a representation of the character's strength and mental fortitude, whether it's from the character understanding their physical weakness and yet wanting to contribute nonetheless on the field of battle in their own way OR if they purposefully trick out their wheelchair like a custom mount so that they can continue to fight on their own terms instead of cowering at home. The combat wheelchair kind of shits all over that by just being something you can buy out of the gate, rather than being a product of necessity and/or invention. Hell, you technically don't even need to be crippled to use it, you could have a whole party full of assholes on hovering wheelchairs mowing people down like a bunch of fantasy Daleks.

Can you point me to any modern non-niche system that actually features bikini armor? I never experienced anyone ever even play a character with bikini armor. So your entire take is already complete nonsense, because you won't have to fear in a million years that even the illustration of bikini armor shows up in a modern rulebook or official art for a setting, much less being included in a way that threatens internal consistency, as long as the retards exist who put wheelchairs in there. Which besides those obviously being officially forced into shit, had to experience in a actual game I was part of. Man, I fucking wish this even had a chance of being an issue, but it just isn't.

Sonja has always been a special case. She's like Conan in that she's basically superhuman. Conan and Sonja are direct Atlantian descendants, which in Howard's narrative means they have the blood of eight foot tall murder gods in them. So when Conan strangles a twenty five foot man eating serpent simply with his own strength, he gets a pass and so too when Sonja uses giant weapons and doesn't care what climate she's in when wearing the bikini. These characters are not meant to be normal warriors, even in the narratives they come from.

Goof elf games are realistic, in a sense that they're grounded in reality. The Author then intorduces the 'fantastical' elements, creating his own, secondary reality. D&D stopped being 'realistic' when it tried to be something other than a wargame/dungeon crawler. 3.5 attempted at being a full simulationist system and failed so spectacularly we are STILL dealing with the fallout - 20 years later!

There is a reason LOTR and Silm were never surpassed in almost a century. Being a Demiurge is not an easy job.

To give you an idea:
The late medieval production around Toulouse was described as smelling 'beastial', and legend has it that the production areas around Erfurt smelled so awful that armies in the 30 years war didn't want to go near them.

The process involves crushing and fermenting a plant that is related to mustard, and then treating the fermenting parts with urine and ash.

The difference is the chainmail bikini art was commercially in a way that combat wheelchair art has never and will never be.

>Dungeons and Dragons is not realistic
I can’t stand this argument because it’s never justly enforced. It’s always been a childish way to claim (your) fantasy is cool.
>>
>>96715098
Pretty much.

Half of the times realism is an excuse argument to selectively single out stuff that someone doesn't like, while even more absurd stuff is going on in the background and goes completely unquestioned. I've seen people online who unironically complain about the Sisters of Battle armour in 40k because it has boob plate, and that's unrealistic, *in Warhammer 40k*. Nevermind the rest of the setting, just the Sisters of Battle themselves have giant robots with buzzsaws for arms in their army, and somehow people have an issue with the realism of boob shaped power armour while those things walk around. Those people don't have an issue with the realism of the armour, they have an issue with tits, but don't want to say it.

Bikini armour is the same, you can justify it in a million ways with in-universe logic, rule of cool and other nonsense, the problem is people who can't stand the fanservice but don't want to say it openly.

You could make the same argument for combat wheelchairs actually. There are a thousand ways you can make cripples cool in fantasy, like a weaponized prosthesis like it's in Sekiro, or that flying chair Professor X had. In fact, it's been done a lot of times before. The problem with recent D&D wheelchairs isn't that they don't make sense or are unrealistic, it's that they're lame as fuck and such obvious virtue signaling crap that it kills any potential for that idea on the spot, that's the actual reason those suck.

>>96715477
>the problem is people who can't stand the fanservice but don't want to say it openly.
It's both though.
Trying to rationalize bikini armor or any other kind of fanservice is always pretentious, because everyone knows what's it for. It's more grating for the attempt to justify wankery than for it by itself.

Witches, sorcerers, sure. Even magical artifact clothing even, just not all the time as if it's normal. But I cringe even at women fighters in the first place.

In breaking news, some people come to roleplay to simulate adventure and fighting monsters, not for blatant coombait. You can have a clothed woman lust-provoking enough if you want.
>b-bu-
Go roleplay your goblin cave rape dungeons if you want. It doesn't mean that everyone must have that all the time.

You're right about the wheelchairs, of course.
>>
>>96715644
I don't really care about rationalizing bikini armour though. I just like hot action chicks with big tits fighting monsters and that's the end of it.

To everyone their own tho, obviously. Some people want stuff that's more "grounded", some people don't care. The point is that realism is just an excuse a lot of people use to argue that their preferred form of fantasy is better than the others.

I don't mind women in their proper roles. Take Darkest Dungeon for example. Plague Doctor, Vestal, Graverobber, even Musketeer are fine. Arbalest and especially Hellion are cringe as fuck and I will never stop saying that.

Bikini Armor is fine because damage mitigation is abstracted enough that it only amounts to a palette swap or transmog skin.

Combat wheelchairs are bad because they beggar mechanical differences while demanding that the cripple is equal or superior than the able bodied.

This argument falls back into the "selective enforcement" argument everyone has been making. It's "eye-rolling" to include coombait in your game, but it's "empowering" to include combat wheelchairs. Don't like one? Don't include it. Don't like the other? You're a bigot. There is of course the time-honored declaration that, "my table, my choice" which still holds true, but one causes immediate judgement (he doesn't like combat wheelchairs? What else doesn't he like...!) While the other has been accepted as common wisdom (he doesn't like bikini armor? Makes sense, it's silly...!)

The point to all of this is that there's a power and privilege to one side of the aisle that said aisle refuses to acknowledge. The people who like combat wheelchairs are in an unassailable position where they can sally forth and push for wheelchairs all they want, or any number of other related changes, safe in the knowledge that no company, media group or popular social streamer will ever call them out for it. Anyone who does is "alt-right" or an ineffectual grifter.

We can pick apart the explanations all day but the mental result is the same; people know who's calling the shots and many people despise them for it - not just for their authority, but that they continue to act like they're *not* an authority. Like a teacher that tries to use their class's slang and Millennial-style passive-aggressive "guidance."

Where? The debate has already happened, the discussion was years ago. Everyone is doing combat wheelchairs now, and bikini armor has been consigned to the same basement as -4 strength. Everybody here hates wheelchairs yet they were forced upon us because, as I said before, “it’s the right thing to do” while busty fantasy bitches have been entirely relegated to the (admittedly thriving) fanart scene. It’s a baffling tonal shift between what the fans want and what the company insists on doing.

Actual fantasy realism would be to have characters that react realistically in absurd fantasy situations. The overwhelming majority of chainmail bikinis are massively enchanted and the shape is typically a reflection of that. It was never not a functional absurdity. Why the wheelchair is so fucking bad is that the fantasy logic overrules the wheelchair logic in these settings as well, with healing magic being more than effective to deal with it.

The redditors who push this retarded narrative have always used unprincipled exceptions to the massive amounts of rules they expect everyone else to follow and I'm glad people are finally waking up to the fact that everyone who complains about fanservice in fantasy is an unlikable meat calculator pretending to be a person.

It's all about WHY it's in the game or story.
Bikini armor was never really about being armor, it was about being sexy and everyone got it. It was silly and everyone was in on the joke. (Side note, most of the "bikini armor" were just bikini because it was uncouth to show the lady parts in fiction from the 50s and 60s.)
The combat wheelchair is an intentional intrusion that came in with the DEI demands. It was an intentional thumb in the eye to make people uncomfortable in a way they couldn't object to without being called bigots. But it was a step too far. Some people tried to thread the needle. Others finally had enough and there's a very public grass-roots hatred of forced DEI in gaming and the wheelchair is one of the things people can point directly at. (It's not singular by any means but it was part of the easily identified things that came about that time.)
>>
>>96718585
In other words, bikini armor was "something for the dads" while combat wheelchairs are corporate ghouls checking off a box.

>>96718700
>combat wheelchairs are corporate ghouls checking off a box
Oh,I wish that's all it was. It became a diversity weapon. If you had a problem with a PC is a wheelchair, then you were a bigot. It became a game store purity test where rainbow-haired Karens would determine if you were worthy to share their game store space. I saw some ugly shit in my LGS over it. (I dropped the "friendly" part on purpose.) Now, there's two game stores in my area and neither hosts RPGs, just MtG and Pokemon.

As someone that works in disability support, with clients in wheelchairs that I run games for, none of them like this shit. If you are disabled, and can be whatever you want to be in a fantasy land, you don't then choose to still be disabled. That's the whole point of power fantasy, like how I don't choose for my characters to have small dicks. It's condescending to present a reality where they are just as capable physically as able bodied people, they are acutely aware of how fucking limited they are and presenting a farcical portrayal of how they get around is pretty insulting. Even one of my clients who loves critical role HATED the combat wheelchair scene. We even have added extra rules for combat wheelchairs, like you can't get up from prone with someone else using their action, because the people at the table thought that was less immersion breaking

>>96719117
That was it, they wanted to have the experience of having their own cultures reflected back at them. That was a wild table too.
I hammed up every kung fu and samurai movie trope I knew and they were all in on it. The showdown in the bath house was probably the peak experience of that game.
One of the guys did mange style are featuring his favorite scenes from the game and when I saw them I understood how much fun they were having. It wasn't even the fight scenes mostly. I was baffled why a white guy in his thirties was who they wanted to run the game for them until then.
One little piece of that, I never read the book before that and even then I threw most of it out and used the Rules Cyclopedia and spiced it up with things I remember from movies and TV shows. IDK if anyone that was a real fan of Oriental Adventure TSR material would have even recognize the game I was playing.

They can get in the way of your arms if they're big enough. I'm not kidding.

Arnie encountered a similar problem during the filming of Conan and had to reduce his workout to make his pecs and biceps smaller, so that he could do the sword fight choreography.

One of my favorite characters was made monoplegic during an encounter. The GM was so apologetic and tried to give me, the player, an out for having my character crippled not even 30 minutes later.

But, it's like no, man. The dude got crippled. He hates it. I love it. It's a roleplaying opportunity for the party face that could do no wrong to have his low point. It also served as party bonding as the character he got crippled saving was now doting on him to try to make things right, much to his chagrin.

The character eventually ended up getting a prosthetic that was better than the organic leg, but it was earned, not just a freebie.

Those who could afford armor still used armor. And Romans (who used a lot of armor) beat them handily, although mostly due to superior tactics and logistics (but Roman tactics require armored infantry).

Macedonian Phalanx that once conquered even more of the known world than the Romans was also armored, although not quite as heavily as Roman troops, but still, every soldier wore at least a breastplate and a helmet. Not so different from modern armor, if you think about it.

>Those who could afford armor still used armor
Of course, but those were mostly the nobility and their retainers. The commoners would also fight, but they typically would acquire a sword and shield over armor.
>Romans beat them handily
Only true during Caesar's campaigns, and that relied heavily on his political acumen and ability to play the Gallic tribes against each other. Prior to that, Gauls were a menace. They nearly burned Rome down, they were a large portion of Hannibal's forces, and they were a menace for centuries. Part of the reason Caesar's campaigns in Gaul were so impressive was the fact that the Gauls had left such an impact on the Roman psyche.

Also, most Roman equipment actually came from Gallic design rather than Greek. The classic legionary helmets, since the early days of the republic, came from Gallic designs. The lorica hamata, the gladius, and the scutum were also all Gallic in origin (the gladius and scutum even descend from Celtic languages linguistically).

You don't have to be a "/pol/tard" to notice that American media, regularly created by far-left leaning Californians, has made a concerted effort to portray women in a less conventionally attractive way. They do this despite the obvious success enjoyed by foreign titles like Stellar Blade. It is politically motivated. The fact that you are getting defensive about it is telling.

Based and perfectly acceptable. The main beef people have with combat wheelchairs is that they're:

Tamerlane meanwhile is based and horsepilled.

>If, instead of actual wheelchairs they used walking golems, trained animals, floating disks, or anything that made sense no one would have batted an eye.
In some fantasy series they have magic chairs that walk. Other suggestions I have seen including skeletons carrying person in a palanquin. I think I've seen the suggestion of a ogre carrying you on their shoulders.


The alchemist in the video game dota2 does that. Though he's not disabled, their back story is that they just teamed up and escaped prison.
>>
>>96718931
This depends on the person. Some people play stuff for power fantasy, and some people want to examine their fears/traumas in a safe way. There's also a lot of overlap between the two categories, everyone's different.
>>96719051
>>96719117
>>96719203
This also depends on the person to some extent.

But people are more willing to enjoy positive cliches/stereotypes than negative ones (especially if you understand they are exaggerations).
Like most americans would be fine playing a game where you play cowboys riding alligators or some absurd exaggeration of memes about the usa. But they probably wouldn't like it if you depicted americans as inbred hicks.

In Korean video games all the females wear high heels into battle which by far is even more offensive than bikini armor.

Do they at least use them as weapons?

Playing disabled characters with actual disabilities is kino.
Reminds me of that one time i was playing Call of Cthulu as a hard-bliled ex-cop P.I who just happened to be wheelchairbound. I did all of the pulp detective comic tropes except he couldn't walk.
The highlight was probably when a femnpc offered to help me up the stairs and i just called her a broad and kept trying and failing to do it in my own before choosing to "guard" the exit while the party explores around.
