I said it once and I'll repeat myself until they finally add it... if they add boob plate they should also add the peen capsule, since you know, if it sticks out it needs to be covered with something that fits around it
There's nothing wrong with boob plate. There's everything wrong with that.
It is a detailed sculpture, and Shepard would have needed to have made a mold of her breasts in order to get one made to fit like that - and I have to ask, for what purpose? So she can run around the battlefield all lookee my ta-tas? If it isn't sexualized, then why isn't the male Shep version equally sculpted and molded?
I can't speak for anyone else but I don't find vaguely breast shaped cold, rigid, metal particularly sexually appealing. I'm inclined to count it simply as bad artistic design over a conscious attempt to sexualise the armor.

so why is a breast shaped protective cup ok but a d*ck one isn't? Breasts are not nearly as fragile as the male nether region

Well you see... That cod piece is molded into the shape of an erect penis. Who in the hell walks around on a battlefield with a hard on is beyond me.

Hey! don't judge! he is not harming anybody...yet
This is why I like this armour in ME3 - it could be any gender really, and just looks solid:

well the peen cup would come in handy in case there is a boner happening during or after battle. Protect the battle boner. It also demonstrates your superior peen power when encountering lesser males. Flaunt it but in a decent way.

i concur. the best answer is to give more male characters flagrant sex appeal as well.
well at least it would make me happy.

So does the guy's c*ck just sit in the peen cup until he gets horny? What if someone kicks it from the the bottom? Can it be sharpened and used has a weapon? What if touches someone, does that count as sexual harassment?

How dare you, sir!
Why that armor belonged to the proud Sir Loin of Brown Willy, who because of his Rooster sigil, was also known as the c0ck of Cornwall!

I'll hate myself for this and take to drinking afterward even though my liver is on life support, but oh what hell.
That can become an Achilles heel. Blood is redirected to the boner depriving the brain of needed oxygen, resulting in a man's awareness, short term memory, and ability to critically think taking a nose dive. It's the major contributing factor for why in ye olden times a man's wife/girlfriend would discover their pron, because it was forgotten in the Projector/VCR/DVD player.

look no further for the fashion statement of the 15th and 16th century
Potentially rule of cool can add things. But if it doesn't fit the setting its attempt is cool but it ends up being like that kid you feel sorry for in school who is desperately trying to be cool and fit in with the cool kids but instead is just lame and getting mocked behind his back. That's floating rocks without a reason.
I don't know about this metaphor of yours. The person setting a bad example in this scenario isn't the kid trying to be sociable and make friends, it's the little jerks mocking him behind his back.
what armor you wear should entirely depend on your combat style. You want to be well protected at all times but light armor only gets you so far. So I'd rather have Protection > Fashion.
Well, I'd mostly agree with you in the real world, but in this one we have energy shields, so bulky armor seems like waste when you have to forego speed and mobility for the sake of it.
Even in the real world, Heavy armor only gets you so far as well, and there are some situations where neither can do much to protect you. If there's an actual explosion headed my way I'd take a chance to dodge or run from it over the reassurance that my heavy metal breastplate would have done more to protect from bullets if I weren't about to die in an explosion.
My thing is that I don't think this can be at all summed up with light armor=frivolous vs. heavy=practical.
I don't object to large breasts in video games - or anywhere else. I just get really tired of the focus on T&A in media, and especially tired of the big breasts == sex stereotype (hello, Isabela).
Of course, I'm also really, really tired of having everyone from coworkers and colleagues to teachers, waiters, and other random strangers gawk at my chest.

that isn't merely form-fitting. It is a detailed sculpture, and Shepard would have needed to have made a mold of her breasts in order to get one made to fit like that - and I have to ask, for what purpose? So she can run around the battlefield all lookee my ta-tas? If it isn't sexualized, then why isn't the male Shep version equally sculpted and molded?
I also suspect that some of us have become so accustomed to the sexualization of women in media that we don't even notice it anymore.
Well, I disagree on two fundamentals. For one, I think MShep's armor was equally sculpted. I think there's just more to notice with Femshep by virtue of breasts arguably being more noticeable.
Also I don't think she would quite have to get a mold of her breasts, she would just need measurements and precise cup size so that the armor could be tailored for her--and I can think of a few very practical reasons to do so (Namely, comfort and better mobility).
I don't necessarily disagree that part of the reason is to make the appearance aesthetically pleasing, but that's just it. I don't oppose a design predicated on whether it's aesthetically pleasing. At the risk of sounding trite, the female form is very pretty, so utilizing does a lot of the work for a costume. I don't think we can fairly accuse every example of accentuating a female figure of being sexualization, because I think sexualization takes more than that. Sexualization/objectification in fiction involves diminishing a character, breaking them down into sexual parts. There are times when I saw that occur in the trilogy, but never with Shepard.
All of these images and talk of boob armor...I need more booze.

There is an outrageous range of different perspectives on this issue. It's actually really interesting sometimes.
Or maybe I'm just thrilled because I've suckered so many people in the BSN into discussing fashion with me.
Mwahaha.
What are you doing? Bottoms up!

RPGs always were a very complex way of justifying playing dress ups.
It would be nice if there were computer displays in the MEU that were regular rectangles.
