How much of the "skimpy outfit" trend of fantasy can be pinned on super-popular artists like Frank Frazetta?

Not much, neck beards like neked womyn.

Less of it than can be pinned on pulp fantasy writers such as Poul Andersen, Tanith Lee, and the pinnacle of them all, Robert E. Howard. Fantasy painters such as Frazetta were painting the covers to their books.

You stupendous ignoramus.

>visual covers and visual-pin ups affecting visual designs and not literary words where women are usually sensibly armored

You're a dumb fuck, aren't ya?

Why don't you go back to r/tTwoXChromosomes?

I don't think you understand how the publishing industry works.

Ever read the story behind the novel "Naked Came the Stranger"?

I'm totally fine with skimpy outfits in the context of a barbarian warrior wearing loincloths, but it's fucking stupid when it's a knight wearing thong armor or nipple shields.
>>
>>47350680
No more stupid than women in armour.

>Not much, MEN like neked womyn.
>and some women too

Fixed that for you.

>>47349075
Yes because fantasy novels always had covers that reflected the content of the book.
>>
>>47348996
Less than can be pinned on historically significant artwork from the olden days.

>>47350680
>totally fine with peoples who have high exposure to environmental stressors wearing less clothing than urban counterparts
>fine with allowing womenfolk into battle in a supposed pseudo-historical setting where doing so would be suicidal for the survival of a society.

Get the fuck out.

Yes, people wanting to look at exposed skin is Frazetta's fault.

No it's not you fucking retard. Artists always want to paint naked ladies, and that's great, you see just as much skin just looking at billboards as you do in frazetta paintings and nobody cares.

This is a complete non-issue, UNTIL you run into the problem of retards using designs that make for fun pinups and eyecandy and present it as actual functional clothing in the setting, and then we get plate with boob windows and exposed thighs.

And then of course you have the nerd-talibans who will insist that a character wearing less than a burka means that the artist or game creator is a creepy fetishist.
