Imagine having so much of your identity wrapped up in a media property that’s cynically over produced to extract money from as many people as possible using every manipulative narrative trick they’ve ever figured out — which huh I guess that’s part of why their identity is so wrapped up in it.

Nah the armour thing is incredibly low hanging fruit, to make a storm in a teacup about nothing. The armour has boob space in the plating. Its not egregious, its not sexualised, but it is feminine. It follows the character designs for the characters from clone wars and I'm sure they've all had millions of action figures of that design etc etc. It's an exercise in driving engagement having a go at the current popular TV show. Tedious stuff.

Just don't read the Nazi website. BOOM problem solved.

ah. yes. this one person tweets about something she doesn't like and for ~some reason~ you think it's an insincere attention-seeking ploy

hmmmmm, yes, yes. tell me, do you both have a skull on the shelf behind your posting station?

the opposition to lady-shaped armor is ironic to me because the current body armor designs are far more effective if someone's torso is flat, so designing form-fitting armor for women could make it function better for them

that being said, boob plates are not necessarily the way to go (maybe just adding layers in the gaps could do the trick)

the dominatrix-style armor in sci-fi or GG cup boob cavities are definitely regressive

it is genuinely funny that nearly a decade later, all she needs to do to rile up shitbirds is to do the exact same exceedingly basic takes on mass media properties

like, there's valid criticisms of her, but el oh loving el at folks tripping over their dicks to point out that Boob Armor is good because it's canon or that it's just a little Boob Armor and not like they're wearing chainmail bikinis or whatever

when she has millions of followers and does this in the same pattern for years I think she knows what she's doing. she makes a tweet or article about how it's sexist that Princess Peach wears a dress and gets tons of engagement (doesn't matter if it's negative). then a bunch of guys on the spectrum make Youtube videos with cartoon avatars explaining how wrong she is for an hour, and they get views. everyone wins

The only issue I had with it was that the previous female Mandalorian didn't have boob armor at all.

But considering that Mando's sect turned out to be hyper orthodox religious weirdos for all we know the Blacksmith had the equivalent of a burqa on.

So the pattern is that she does something and a lot of people get mad about it? I don’t really see the perfidy here. What’s she supposed to do, never state an opinion about anything?

the pattern is that she doesn't say stuff based on how true it is or how important it seems it's based on what will cause the most outrage among nerds. I'm also a troll so I respect the game to some degree but let's be honest about what she's doing here

I don't wanna get into a philosophical debate about how do you know for SURE what someone's REALLY thinking. I'm inferring based on what she's been doing for 7 years

anyway my problem with the Mando armor is the opposite of hers. it looks too practical. having it raised a little in an area for a different body shape makes too much sense. what they need to do is give the women separated realistic boobs and put the men in hyper-detailed roman-style muscle cuirasses. nipple on both naturally

All the armor should be way more sexualized. An aggressive display of weaponized horny. Chainmail bikini samus, zero suit doomguy with demon skull codpiece, speedo greedo. This missed opportunity to JoJo-ize their defensive armaments doesnt speak well of the martial prowess
