You're fucking stupid if you don't think that's supposed to be a mount for some kind of helmet or visor.

You're complaining about alt costumes in a blizzard game of all things. The land of fucking 100 lb paldrons.

Why, actually, don't people understand this one?

fucking hate this character so much she does so much damage

Women never wore plate armour into a battle field. Female knights has always been a thing of fantasy shlock. There is literally nothing wrong with boob plate.
>>344829130
Except that the female soldiers would likely die if they fell face-first.
Fans of practical armor are like vegans. It's not enough that they enjoy their own thing, they have to kick in the door of the majority who like something else and tell them how it's wrong and evil and they need to stop.
>>344829130
This, female Knights is just feminist power fantasy boloney.
>>344829224
This is a fantasy setting.
>>344829130
but boob plates would be literally detrimental to the wearer. if you're protecting yourself against a sword, normal armor would deflect it away from your body. but with boob armor, the sword would get caught and slide TOWARD YOUR CHEST which is the opposite of what you want.
not to mention, if you fall over face first you will easily break bones and die (as stated by >>344829224 and >>344827323)
>>344829310
do you want me to compile a list of male power fantasies in video games too, because that is the dumbest retort i've heard on this subject.
>>344829416
the very least you can do with fantasy is make it a little bit believeable. just because something has never happened doesn't mean you should take full liberty with it, especially just to emphasize someone's sex organs. do you want more male characters with bulges in their tassets?

Fantasy doesn't follow rules on realism its what makes it a fantasy. If you feel the need to obsess over this then we may as well take it one step further and get her back to rearing children while the men wage war because that's realism. You don't get to define what is acceptable fantasy and what is acceptable realism only the artist does.
>>344829779
I always assumed boob plate was the female version of muscle cuirass.
>>344829779
>but boob plates would be literally detrimental to the wearer.
stop repeating shitty kotaku reddit catch phrases faggot. boob plates wouldnt be detrimental because women couldnt fight for shit anyway. no one would waste god damn armor on a fucking woman, that shit was a luxury, especially plate armor you faggot. all of it is fucking fantasy. a woman with armor is as big a fantasy as a woman with boob plate armor. literally EQUAL in the amount of imaginary stretch you have to make in order to pretend that such a thing is viable.
>>344829779
>male power fantasy
Way to disqualify your right to opinion with feminist tripe.
>the very least you can do with fantasy is make it a little bit believeable
What is and is not believable is subjective. You can't treat a subjective factor like it has some objective limit based on your own personal hang ups with what you find believable. Doesn't work that way.
>do you want more male characters with bulges in their tassets?
Funny you mention that:
1. Testicles, being a primary sexual characteristic, are not equivalent to breasts. Those are a secondary sexual characteristic.
2. Men in real life wore cod pieces, which were also impractical and dangerous. Boob plate isn't that outrageous as you think.
Posting fantasy armor because it'll trigger the faggot in this thread.
>>344830263
>muh slippery slope
listen, i'm not arguing that you can take liberties in fantasy. but there at least should be explanations for deviations from normal, non-fantastical things. it makes MORE sense for a fantasy armor set to be an extremely revealing bikini, because you can write that off with magic. but to design an entire suit of armor just to give it a clearly avoidable flaw just to accentuate the female form is totally ridiculous.
>>344830526
>feminist tripe
i'm not gonna even read this post because it takes a real cuck to be threatened by the words "power fantasy"
>>344830716

Got it backwards there, chief.
>>344830785
the fact that you posted that picture shows me you didn't even read my post
>>344827323
>implying her sternum is all the way out there
>>344830853
no one wants to read your reddit kotaku regurgitated bullshit anyway you little sissy cuck. go to tumblr and talk about how strong womyn dont need boob plate armor there, im sure some blue haired whale will pat you on the head and tell you how good a goy you are.
This is now a bikini armor thread. Enjoy yourselves.
>>344830853
Oh I did. There's only two kinds of people who argue against armor design...
1. Feminists.
2. Autists who complain about "MUH REALISMS!"
You're one or the other. Neither is a good prospect for you.
>>344827323
Don't talk shit about Zarya. She's a cute girl!
I've got the perfect idea
You take boob armor, but you put a super powerful electric battery in the cleavage and set it up so anything that touches it on the outside gets a shitload of voltage put into it.
Then when people slash at her with swords, the swords run across the breasts, into the cleavage, where they touch the battery.
>>344831171
By boob armor I mean something like this >>344828876
>>344831042
i mean, you really didn't. i said bikini armor is fine. it makes sense in context. boob plates don't.
i wonder what it's like to spend your life afraid of the spooky strawman feminists. you must be really a happy person
>>344831049
you dont want her to get killed by her own armor...do you??
>>344831049
Not just cute, she's a babe.
>>344830716
>i'm not arguing that you can take liberties in fantasy.
You're just arguing that this specific liberty is over the line because you're a prude.
>there at least should be explanations for deviations from normal
The explanation is this is a fantasy setting where the rules of our world need not apply. Are you one of those faggots who argues that dragons should have two legs and two wings for realism as well or do you just pick and choose?
>it makes MORE sense for a fantasy armor set to be an extremely revealing bikini
If it can't be as realistic as you want it should be so hilariously out there the fantasy should smack you in the face? Do you have autism or do you just not understand subtlety in design? It isn't magic, it isn't super powers it's just not a problem in the world the artist is creating. Deal with it.
>>344831274
>boob plates don't.
more than boob plates not making sense, women in plate armor makes even less sense. why arent you arguing about that? they didnt have affirmative action back then. giving women plate armor was a waste of valuable resources and it was always more efficient and more effective to give it to a man who is factually stronger.
so which is it? do you want actual realism? or do you want just enough to be "inclusive" in this way but not in the other way?
go look in the mirror, youre just a faggot who repeats tumblr bullshit and you should find a way to grow your nuts faggot.
>>344831319

Agreed
>>344830264
>Armor with nipples
So Batman wasn't the first to do this huh
Eh, I don't understand the physical requirements of whatever her crazy energy harness thing is.
So, I don't know, could be bad maybe.
>>344827323
Have you even played the game? It's not possible to fall over.
Are you going to tell me that the ability to fly and teleport and telepathically control a tire full of explosives isn't realistic either?
>>344831274
They're clearly hardened shells over a suit, fuckface, not unlike football armor or motocross armor.
this man is literally wearing boob armor, its a good thing he is not in any sort of activity that involves people hitting him in the fucking chest cause that would be bad because boob armor is wrong!
>>344831274
>i said bikini armor is fine. it makes sense in context. boob plates don't.
Which is some weapons grade autism on your part if it's only okay in the "right ways."
>i wonder what it's like to spend your life afraid of the spooky strawman feminists. you must be really a happy person
Odd words coming from a guy who tries to enforce their stunted imagination on others.

>>344831671
to be fair, her gun makes black holes and has a big glowing ball of some techno shit that you can only assume to be gravity or something
it probably weighs a fucking ton and then as it warps fucking gravity around it probably weighs more than normal.

well you fall on your back, crisis averted.
