Female Genre Art Redux

[_grimtales_]

So this came up, yet again...

The crux point for me where understanding failed - and I do TRY to understand - was in the comparison of these two images:

I give up trying to understand years ago.

hmmmm.....

I don't see any difference in the level of sauciness either. Could it be the trollette's bare feet your friend subconsciously objects to?
I like her better as well.

Really? I don't massively object to either, but find the warrior lady more objectifying generally, as the Trollette is lightly clothed and armoured for hunting rabbits but the other woman is apparently fighting something that needs a club that big with shit armour.
Neither are falling afoul of my pet hate - women who fight with heavy armour but with exposed midriffs. Drives me nuts.

scantily clad warrior chicks

I play old school D&D, my character has +4 bracers of defense. Yar Gamera, 9th level thief can't wear armour or it negates the power of these bracers. When going to the town pub to find people to pilfer, she dresses in a halter and a miniskirt made from the skin of a 10 hit dice dragon fly that she killed.
So I guess I don't have a problem with warrior chicks if they're allowed to dress like a hussy - as long as their armour class, magick weapons, armour and/or accessories warrant the sleazier clothing.

Yeah... I'm with you. The trolette looks like a trollette. The Amazon looks like you're stereotypical Lady Death legacy.
