I give up. You're just too full of your own testosterone-fueled ideas to get it. Any valid point I or others raise in regards to why it's utterly nonsensical to have women in chainmail bikinis you ignore because it doesn't suit your ugly view on life. You say you have the utmost respect, you say you're not sexist, and you know what, keep living your delusion. I have yet to see a single woman here--or a man, actually--seriously agree with your points. No one here is rationally saying "yeah, it absolutely makes sense!"
I see where having women wear that kind of armor serves its purpose for a demographic. And I don't really have a problem with its existence. I take offense when armor that is practical on a man is shrunk in epic proportions on a female, but I rarely think it detracts from the game. BioWare I have a lot respect for, because while they do sexualize characters like Miranda and Morrigan, they give them reasons for being like that (they use they gender against men), and they are strong characters unto themselves. I would never want to see them do the same thing with my player character that other devs bow down to doing.
But all of it is moot, man:
You just don't get it.
Seriously, I start getting offended now. You´re just too dumb to see reason if it hits you on the head, right?
Your point comes down to "
Skimpy armor sucks, and if you don´t agree you´re sexist and dumb!" and that´s it. Everything you said is just that, only with more words around.....

For the 4th time now:
I PREFER MY FEMALE CHARACTERS TO WEAR HEAVY PLATEMAIL.Get it in your head after all, will you?
i am simply arguing against your whining and crying to see sexism where there is none. As a matter of fact many people like their characters and the NPCs to look slu7ty, and THAT`S WHY IT`S DONE.
SEX SELLS! Ever heard of that? It´s the rule by which our economy works........
And fyi, I agree with your sentiment that it´s ridiculous if armor shrinks magically; I would go even further and say that armor shouldn´t change at all but instead there should be male and female versions of it.
What me annoys, though, is your godawful seriousness instead of taking it with humour. Can´t you just laugh about it, if it´s so ridiculous? No you can´t. You HAVE to accuse the devs who make such stuff and everyone who likes it of sexism..... Seriously, don´t you have better things to do than whine and cry?
Last but not least you should note that women are never shown in as inferior to men - on the contrary, these skimpy clothed warrior ladies are heroes who beat every man in just about everything. I would go as far as to say that this kind of clothing is a sign of strength and freedom for women, opposed to the Burqua women have to wear in muslim countries.
Naked Skin = Freedom. Or what do you think why the hippies made mini skirts popular?
"Modest" clothing has always been a sign of oppression, while showing skin was a way to show freedom and power.
Just for once, try looking at it like this.
And THIS is why I think it´s men who are discriminated in video games, not women.
Please be so nice and read this, and then think about it before you answer. I have not yet given up the hope you might understand after all.
