Why are some female warriors in video games typically shown to have a permanent wedgie? (NSFW)

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24986points) November 3rd, 2019

Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable in real life? Humor and serious answers welcome.

It’s all about the sex, dude. Why do the men get head to toe steel armor to protect them but the women have to make do with chain mail bikinis?

To accentuate the female form, not that all female warriors have what I consider to be the most beautiful backsides. Other than that, what type of clothing would be better for a female warrior? No restrictions, total freedom of movement.

Three letter word sells.

Could you warrior with a wedgie @kritiper?

@Dutchess_lll He Man wore skimpy outfits too. The movie with Dalph Landern showed off his body.

That does appeal to gay men. Like speedos do.

Because these games are fantasy primarily targeted towards young males.

@Dutchess_lll I’m a guy so it doesn’t apply. But I could do it in a jock strap with He Man briefs.
I have heard of those close-fitting female outfits being called “battle bikinis.*” (-from the Original Dirty Pair.)

Wait @kriptner. You said ”...what type of clothing would be better for a female warrior? No restrictions, total freedom of movement.” Why would that not apply to a male as well? Do our labia flap about and create wind resistance?

I will say, thank Odin for a game studio like Naughty Dog. Their main franchises, Uncharted and the Last of Us, are full of strong, capable females* who look and dress like real, actual women, and not like full-motion fuck dolls.

*Elena Fisher, Chloe Frazer, Nadine Ross in Uncharted
Elle, Tess, Marlene in The Last of Us

OMG Darth, I love you. Thank you.

Most of these games are designed by and for males.

Having a permanent wedgie is what makes them so irritable…er…fierce.

^^^^ My response too.
During my active duty days, I was questioned by a number of sailors as to how I felt women could be effective in combat, what with monthly cycles and all. I pointed out that the one person soldiers fear more than enemy fighters, is their own wives and daughters. Further, if you faced a woman in combat who might be retaining water, whoa boy, look out. Besides, we carry our own first aid. What could be more handy.

Me, if I had britches wedged in my ass, I would be mean. But, here is the more practical aspect, when we are physically very active, clothes get pinched in there, and a warrior just can’t spare the division of attention to go digging.

@Dutchess_lll I wasn’t comparing men to women…

Dutchess_lll's avatar

@we’re talking about wedgies. They are the same for men as for women. You got something shoved in to your butt crack and it’s uncomfortable and would be distracting.

G string underwear gives me the shudders because of that very reason. Ew!

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I agree. It’s up there getting all poopy. Shudder.

kritiper's avatar

In the heat of battle, a wedgie is the last thing you’ll be thinking about!

Dutchess_lll's avatar

Yes. My point was why would you think a wedgie would somehow be different for men than for women?

kritiper's avatar

Yes, I got that.
