Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor? Yes, please.

There is nothing quite as funny (sad/disturbing/annoying) as the things most women warriors wear in video games. They defend their homes, they fight off danger at every turn but their outfits rarely reflect this. Instead they get low cut, barely there outfits that they couldn't bend over in, let alone wield a sword and actually fight in.

Megwrites linked to a seriously awesome tumblr this morning and it made my day--Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor.

You know, for a fighter who might actually want to be able to move in her clothes.

It's going to be a good day.

  1. It is SOOO TRUE! I have major issues with the garb that female characters are given (or not given at all). Peggy Orenstein writes amusingly about the trend in "Cinderella Ate My Daughter."
