But you will rarely see a man portrayed in armor like the one the OP posted with him covered in the top and then having what is basically some kind of metal underwear with leggings held up by garters.  I have seen art with female barbarians where they have  what is basically a mini skirt made out of skin and a bra style top ala Conan style that does not bother me. What bugs me is a fighter or a paladin in some stupid armor that's only purpose is to show off her figure and boobs. Or how in the 3E books the elf wizard wears a gown slit all over the place exposing a great deal of skin. Sure she can cast mage armor to protect from weapons but how about sunburn or hypothermia. It is just a stupid look. As for woman being oversensitive about basically what is sex being used to portray woman to sell a game,  well I wonder why some of us feel this way. Could it be that in real life woman are often judged for how they look instead of how good they are at something. You are not a woman so maybe you see it just as a sign of being over sensitive. Which is a tactic often used by the majority when a minority complains about something. As I said before if you want to use cheesecake use it to portray the succubus or the evil priestess who uses her beauty and sex appeal as a weapon. But show female adventurers dressed in a manner that makes sense.Nobody is trying to tske your cheesecake away from you.</blockquote>
