Serious post: I'd like to see more gender equality. I get clothing women more in fantasy and games is appropriate but even then that tactic still exposes sexism considering the opposite is available in regards to men. Oh, women in skimpy chainmail armor is sexist when the men are in full plate? Well, you don't have to put women in full plate. You can put men in skimpy chainmail and show off them abs and tight glutes. Eye-candy to gay men and women, right? The fact that 99% of the time the move is to de-sexualize the women and not more heavily sexualize the men to match the energy of the women is pretty revealing of where we are at on the issue as a society. It exposes the puritanical prudishness and homophobia of our culture.
Anyone else remember how in the fantasy material of the 1980s male characters were in outfits just as ridiculously skimpy as the female ones? An era of leather daddies and heavy metal. The armor was ridiculous with greased up muscles and armor plates that exposed 75% of their skin. Usually it was something like an armor plate covering a single side of their chest with the other side and their abdominals exposed. Outfits never made sense for anything other than looking sexy.
you may not like it but this is what peak make performance looks like
In FF14 you can be a hairy cat-man rippling with muscles in a speedo. Japan gets it.
The only good thing about Schwarzenegger Conan. Where are my horrors from beyond the cosmos?! Give me elephant-like alien gods, damnit!

Yes please, I’m straight but I love having the option of skimpy clothing on male characters, it bothers me when it’s just on female presenting characters
shirtless muscle dudes with the leather straps in an x over you just to cover the nipples for decency censors

I don't think it's prudish to focus on cool before sexy as the default, especially in games where you're creating an avatar of yourself vs playing a pre-defined character. Maybe I'm out of touch but I don't make characters I'm attracted to, I make characters to represent myself. I want to see me looking cool, not me with my cheeks spread.
this is erasure of those of us who are attractive with our cheeks spread
