It’s interesting how people scrutinise every inch of female armor but if a male barbarian is wearing a loincloth in snow nobody cares, if a Knight wears plate armor with abs nobody cares, gladiator wears nothing except for waist armor and shoulder pads nobody cares.

Almost like old-school Fantasy was grognarded by grogs with nards. (Sorry, Grog, you’re orders of magnitude better than your forebears — and, yes, of course Critter’s “better than four bears!”)

Oh yes, girls dont play God of War, forgot that
