There is no armor for women because women didn't fight. They're pretty useless in that regard as they are weak and get scared easily (nevermind the other problems with their biology like menstruation and having tits)

Literally does not exist. The crusaders were male. The Roman legions were male. The samurai were male. 99.9% of frontline soldiers in WW1, 2 and today are male.

Women have never in history had enough significant population of fighters and have never had armor made for them.

What I think people need to realize is that armor in video games doesn't hold the same value as it does in real life. Armor in games are simply points into your defense stat, where as in real life you would wear it to cover parts of your body. So really it just comes down to what you like. Personally, I'm a fan of both in the right situations, I personally don't think every game has to be realistic or be completely practical.

The argument about bikini armor is so old that even the Crypt Keeper calls it "grandpa".

Does anybody remember Runescape? The MMO that did realistic armor, and every character was an interchangeable suit of plate mail as a result? You could be a black woman with neon pink hair and it made no fucking difference - plate mail for you. Face concealing helmet.

>>339608246
Variety is always the ticket. Very few games really do go in for the bikini armor anyway, and certainly not exclusively when they do.

Women wearing male armor is not realistic either. They didn't do it in history and it is not tailored for them anyway.

It's an issue of internal consistency. If a woman was to go to war, would she wear armor? If at all possible, yes. Your odds of survival skyrocket with armor on. Would the armor look any different? It would be tailored to fit her frame, like any other commissioned armor, but the curves and angles would be near identical because they are shaped that way for maximum survivability. It is realistic that a woman would wear nigh-identical armor to a man the same way that a realistic talking dog would probably be dumb as a sack of bricks and not a philosopher.

That's central asian lamellar armour. Kind of a poor man's brigandine, where the plates are held together by cloth or leather bindings instead of being riveted to a textile shell.

that armor looks like it is made for defense against slashing, but the rope holding the plates together is cheap looking and exposed, if the armor took a hit, it looks like that shit would cut and fall apart.

>>339609168
Boudica is usually depicted as not wearing armor. A lot of times when you hear about female warriors, they often come from a level of wealth, influence, or nobility that they ride on horseback and act as commanders rather than front line soldiers. You don't hear about them meeting challenges or fighting toe to toe with other officers or anything.

Joan of Arc is often depicted in armor, but it's your standard plate. If you care about "realism" it's important to remember that all that armor weighs a ton. We're talking 70 to 100 lbs or something. It was tiring for men to march around in and getting women to that level of fitness requires a lot of effort on the woman's part. Dressing women up in a bunch of heavy infantry armor really wasn't done.

So any fictional depiction relies on the artist's vision, really.

/v/ is incredibly sexist. Gamers are in general, they don't like change and they don't like women in their video games or women having anything to do with the creative process behind them.

Women should definitely be treated equally in gaming. Less bikini and boob armor, more armor such as the kind a male character would win. Less cleavage, less tummy showing, this all for sex appeal.

I absolutely support equal standards for women in games, strong female leads and female game designers.

Women did not fight in medieval war. The entire notion of a female warrior is fantasy. If you're going to portray women in such a ridiculous fashion as wearing armor like men and pretend they go to war with sword and shield, then it makes more sense to portray them in the style of ancient mythology, dressed as goddesses and valkyries. Dressing women up in "practical" armor is not only unrealistic, but it's completely silly as it was literally heresy in the ancient world for women to dawn a man's armor and would be imprisoned/executed for it, just like Joan of Arc.

what's frustrating about the female armor debate is that centers on the battlefield-esque armor, of knights and soldiers, etc. Which is ideal for a certain type of vidya, admittedly.

Realistically, women in crusade-era times didn't march off into battle, and if they did they disguised themselves and wore "male armor." But there was another type of armor that ladies wore, which was the dress and air of court. While men went to war, women gained power and influence through aristocracy, marriage and money. The full-blown lady-gown WAS the protective armor of the day.

"cutesy" dress clothes are a way more realistic armor choice for women in vidya. Maybe they don't look like they belong on the battlefield... but NO woman of any status would roam around in the widlerness in an armor bikini. They would either be disguised as male, or wearing the full dress of court.

people still wore armor when guns were first invented. your average rich guys big army rarely had people with armor because armor still cost a lot of money. you could have an extra 200 guys with guns for the same price price

There is literally no conceivable situation where this could ever happen. If there are no males, the population is already dead from the get go. If there are, there is no reason why men wouldn't be sent instead as men are objectively superior in all physical aspects.

Sending women instead of men to engage in warfare has never and will never happen.

Not all video games are historical or set in our universe. However, if the video games want to stay realistic, they would have to obey the same law of nature as our universe, and therefor a full body armor is more practical than a nipple cover.

Game of thrones is an example of a realistic tv show which is set in a different universe than ours.

>>
>>339609915
Except that sex appeal works differently for men and women. A square-jawed motherfucker in full plate without an inch of his skin shown that looks wealthy and confident is already sexually appealing to a woman. You don't need to show man skin to make women horny, you understand? Men and women are different. Their brains work differently. They prioritize different areas. They find different things appealing. Your "equality" is never going to fucking work because it is the matter of defying biology on a scale equal to pretending that we don't actually need to breathe and that breathing is for losers and squares.
>>
>>339610120
women have been in numerous conflicts over history and there are plenty of noteworthy examples, stop pretending like it never happened.

no one is saying that they are equal to men in strength or endurance, but that doesn't mean they can't fight.

Of course they still wore armor. If you already had armor kicking around, why wouldn't you use it. It's just that from that point forward war shifted from medieval formations to pike, guns, and cavalry. Armor still played a role, hell, the term bullet proofed comes from shooting your armor to show a bullet wouldn't pass through it, but they were less full suits and more cuirasses.
>>339610020
Might not kill you in one shot, but line up a hundred guys and they all get a shot which will knock you on your heavily plated ass and spook your horse to shit if they don't blow it to bits. Then they do the old Crecy armpit stab and your armor has become a giant waste of Florins or whatever money was hip at the time and place.

knight (n.) Look up knight at Dictionary.com
Old English cniht "boy, youth; servant, attendant," a word common to the nearby Germanic languages (Old Frisian kniucht, Dutch knecht, Middle High German kneht "boy, youth, lad," German Knecht "servant, bondman, vassal"), of unknown origin. For pronunciation, see kn-. The plural in Middle English sometimes was knighten.

Meaning "military follower of a king or other superior" is from c. 1100. It began to be used in a specific military sense in the Hundred Years War, and gradually rose in importance until it became a rank in the nobility from 16c. Hence in modern British use, a social privilege or honorary dignity conferred by a sovereign as a reward, without regard for birth or deeds at arms. In 17c.-19c. a common jocularism was to call a craftsman or tradesman a knight of the and name some object associated with his work; e.g. knight of the brush for "painter." Knight in shining armor in figurative sense is from 1917, from the man who rescues the damsel in distress in romantic dramas (perhaps especially "Lohengrin"). For knight-errant, see errant.

The horse-headed chess piece so called from mid-15c. Knights of Columbus, society of Catholic men, founded 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.; Knights of Labor, trade union association, founded in Philadelphia, 1869; Knights of Pythias, secret order, founded in Washington, 1864.

Please.

"Realistic" armor generally looks better and is more attractive for either gender than the latter anyway.

Ideally the designer will have put in some actual fucking effort into researching armor design and will know proper aesthetics but "realistic" armor is a decent stopgap measure since it limits the atrocities that a designer without limits can inflict upon the eyes.
