My feelings are that this is complicated. I'm all for scanty ladies and men but if all the men are dressed relatively normally and the ladies are in bikinis on the battlefield, then I'm going to complain. Now, if a couple ladies are in bikinis but others are in fatigues and others dressed in full body armor, then it becomes something more along the lines of 'does the bikini match the lady's personality' which is a more interesting question to me, because yeah, look at any group of men or ladies. You're gonna get those who are dressed conservatively and those who are dressed practically and those who are dressed inappropriately and those who think every color ought to be worn at the same time and a lot of crossover between every option.

So basically, if the canon has a wide variety of characters and those characters are dressed in a similarly wide variety of styles then... cool. It's all good.

I really don't mind a female character wearing stupid bikini armor shit as long as it's known that SHE loves wearing it. Sadly we don't tend to get that unless it's Bayonetta.

Emma Frost from X-Men is another one who wears very little and it absolutely matches her personality (plus these days she can turn into a diamond so nothing's going to hurt her). But then you get shit like Wonder Woman in a thong and high heels and no. There is no way she's going to wear that for fighting. Light armour that leaves a lot of skin showing, sure, she's tough and has an Ancient Greek aesthetic. But not half her butt and most of her boobs showing. I'm a lesbian and I don't mind a bit of fan service but most of it is sexist and super dumb.

Though I do appreciate there's a lot more male characters in skimpy outfits these days! And if it's all around dumb armour that's fine.

Yeah, I agree. It's one thing if it's straight up female fan service (or really just any ONE group getting fanservice treatment) it's in the an eyeroll inducing Situation in the least (THE LEAST). I'm on board with EVERYONE getting the same treatment.

And much like you, I prefer it if there is a range -- I grew up playing Tekken, and men and woman had variations -- Jin and his whole family generally went shirtless, Eddie had skin tight suits, Christie had the least but I'd play as her sometimes, Michelle and Asuka had cute middle ground outfits, and who could forget Nina and Ana with their femme fatale outfits? But you had options. Both in outfits for each player and players who tended toward one direction or another.

+1, you said everything I had in mind. I want to have choices when playing!
