Maybe in an anime. In real life a 12 year old boy was vastly stronger than any adult woman at the time. Remember this was before steroids and testosterone injections.

Bikini armor would in real life be more effective for women since most men have a natural aversion to killing them. If you don them in full armor they would just look like some tiny dude who everyone would target.

It's not even a thing anymore. Was it ever much of a thing?
Anyways, fantasy armor is most commonly found in roleplaying games, and women do buy those. So you need to appeal to them, which means stripping the guys, too. Or neither, if you want your game to be "realistic".

>>737945529
>which means stripping the guys, too. Or neither, if you want your game to be "realistic".
Honestly I'd be fine with either but the last dozen games I've played have obvious conservative clothing options for female PCs while male PC's have things like fully modeled nipples, hip bones, and well defined musculature as well as far more prevalent slut wear. This invasion of ideology would be fine if it didn't result in obvious censorship of women and obvious continued sexualization of men.

When this shit started I tacitly accepted that because I'm not a ponce and I'm not going to pretend the harm that decades of objectification did isn't real. But now it's still happening, it's just on another gender.
>>
Honestly, I thought one piece was nice at the beginning of the show, but holy shit it just keeps going and going, and it's so fucking hilarious how the women just keep devolving into stickmen with boobs it's not even funny.

Women don't go into combat, so they can dick around with unrealistic armor designs and prance around. Men put their life on the line so have to get serious when it comes to armor.
Alternatively,
men = cool
women = sex

Now post cool vidya armor.
>>
>>737947937
You wouldn't. But if you were a woman in a conflict you'd stand a better chance of surviving in bikini armor than dressing up as a man.
>>
>>737943084
All female armor is unrealistic so you might as well just make something that looks appealing
>>
>>737943084
Women in real life try to be and appear as naked as possible at all times, so it's very realistic. If women are left to their own devices they basically just become nudists up to whatever bare minimum society allows.
>>
>>737948058
you think the women in one piece have ridiculous designs, wait til you see the men.

The apex of heroic fantasy is Conan and he is always depicted as running shirtless. The bikini armor was inspired by Frank Thorne version of Red Sonja, why it was popular? Because it looks cool and sexy. It's rule of cool and sex appeal.
>>737944731
OP is making an unfair comparison. Depending of the type of fantasy story, you can have women with full body armor or with a more revealing armor.
St. Jeanne d'Arc wore full armor and was always on the front lines, which lead her to being injured, in the siege of Orleans she was shot with an arrow that went through her shoulder.
>>
>>737948413
>was always on the front lines

All of these designs come from male targeted anime. Male characters are typically designed in those to look cool while female characters are typically designed to look attractive. Also there's a huge mismatch in the kind of shows in the top and the kind of shows in the bottom.

For a woman using her sexuality is more efective than her combat skills.
During WWII many female spies only had to sleep with the current politician to gather information

>>737948498
Yeah, which is the reason she was injured IIRC twice.
>>
>>737948521
honestly, yeah, that's pretty good. One piece has 2 male body types, absolute wall of muscle and hideously deformed fat guy.
actually that's pretty much the same for the women, except you replace "wall of muscle" with "stick figure with huge boobs".

I don't understand why a magic bikini armor is unbelievable but a mage wearing literally a cotton shirt isn't

You can enchant magical protection into cloth.
Some setting makes it harder to enchant magic into metals so there's some justification on why enchanted cloth armor has better magical protection while armor made from metals are better at physical protection.

this is kind of silly when you remember most metal armor has a ton of fabric on the inside. Like what, you can't enchant a gambeson with magic protection?

She was never behind a wall of defenders, that was what the commander officers would've liked but she insisted in being in the middle of battlefield.

And yet she was in the middle of the battle, which lead to being injured in the battlefield and her eventual capture by the Burgundians.

>>737949732
And yet even her enemies recognized her role, this was what Georges Chastellain, a Burgundian chronicler said about her capture. "Then the Maiden [Joan of Arc], transcending her womanhood, summoned great strength and endured great pain to save her company from defeat, remaining at the forefront as the leader and the bravest of the troops. But there, fortune brought an end to her glory and to her last time bearing arms. An archer, a rough and very bitter man, filled with great resentment because a woman—of whom so much had been spoken—should have defeated so many brave men, as she did, grabbed the hem of her gold-embroidered doublet and threw her from her horse to the ground"

You're wasting your time. These people have already decided that it's impossible for a woman to lift more than a frying pan and nothing will ever convince them otherwise, because they're committed to that delusion. It's the only way they can feel superior to anyone.
>>
>>737952741
Notice how I never said she fought and yet you still try to use that as a excuse and defense. St. Joan was part of an army, stood in the middle of the battlefield and yet she lived until her eventual demise in the hands of a corrupt trial.
>>
>>737943084
Reality itself. Men prefer and find the top cool and masculine, while women love the bottom, because their whole sex is based on... sex. And all is good in the world.
>>
A woman's body and looks, is the only thing of value that she possesses. The next time you interact with a woman, ask yourself, would I still want to spend time and be friends with this person if she had the exact same personality but was a man instead? 100% of the time, the answer will be no.
