THINGS TO GENERALLY STAY AWAY FROM WHEN DESIGNING FEMALE CHARACTERS;

• OBNOXIOUS BOOB WINDOWS
• HIGH HEELS IN COMBAT SITUATION ( READ: STILETTOS. HEELED BOOTS ARE FINE B/C IT HELPS U STAY IN A SADDLE )
• WHY DOES THE FEMALE VERSION LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT MALE VERSION. FIX THAT. DO NOT MAKE FEMALE VERSIONS OF UNIFORMS OR ARMOR SEXY? WHO CARES ABOUT SEXY IF YOU HAVE KICK ASS PLOT AND FIGHT SCENES ( read: game of thrones )
• CHARACTERS DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLOTHE THEMSELVES, YOU AS A CREATOR ARE DOING IT FOR THEM. DO IT WELL.
• please for the love of all that is holy and good in this world do not put saddle riders in panties or shorts. active = sweat and sweat + leather = UNCOMFORTABLE RASH
• IF THERE IS METAL TOUCHING SKIN; YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. DUNNO IF YOU KNOW BUT FLESH, ESPECIALLY IN THE BREAST AND THIGH AREAS, IS VERY SOFT AND CAN EASILY BE CUT INTO WHEN METAL IS RUBBING AGAINST IT DURING COMBAT.

THINGS TO CONSIDER;

• Gambesons are fucking cool
• Chain mail is fucking cool!!
• Covering up for combat is very practical and not enforcing some sort of sexist double standard when you’re fighting for your life. god dammit why don’t people think that? why do people think that female characters are being censored if they’re covered properly for combat?
• Armor can be very pretty or very simple! Depending on the character!
• They can have a set of decorative armor and armor for combat I guess! 
• Please consider that they don’t wear armor 24/7 and can have other outfits?? If you want a character to be sexy do it off the battle field.
• And no, being revealing to “distract the enemy” does not count for an excuse to be sexy. Unless it’s some sort of confrontation and not on a full scale battle, this will never work and ya’ll exposed your vitals for no reason

I’m living for all of this. Blesssss.

Things horny ass gamedev dudes need to read

I don’t mind skimpy costumes AS LONG AS THE MEN ARE EQUALLY SKIMPY like, roman legionaries were running around in leather miniskirts, fantasy armor does not have to practical, it is imaginary, there are dragons, but putting your lady characters in skimpy titty armor that doesn’t work, and putting your dude characters in big badass spiky armor that doesn’t work because it wouldn’t articulate IS FUCKING SEXIST
