One note: for full equality, either both nipples should be covered, or neither

Help! Help! My belt has lost its sand!

Someone said it. I cannot understand this double standard in general for the life of me.

I love seeing these things that were clearly made as a gotcha not working.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

More of this kind of equality please

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cis-het guy here. I like both in games. I understand the thin strap thing has "magic defense" or whatever, but if that's the case, why do I never see men wearing it? Conversely, if the non-magical steel armor works, why don't the women ever wear it?

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

3rd question Why not both at the same time

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's a great question! Surely, the strap thing could fit under the armor

If anything the right one could do without the chest strap thing. It's awkward and doesn't really add anything to the appeal.

/bisexual critique.

Well then he's just wearing a thong and some arm bands. It's necessary to give the illusion of it not being a speedo.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why is it necessary to not be a speedo? I can understand that some people might like to see an attractive guy in a speedo - more power to them. However I don’t understand the appeal of the chest strap thing so if it’s done out of some requirement to be equivalent, just rip that right off and let him strut his stuff.

The speedo makes me a little uncomfortable because I’m not interested in that, but the chest strap thing strap just seems odd, but I’m ok with whatever

I was just making a joke bcz it sounded funny in my head.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Hm, how about the straps remington wears in this videoclip?

Hetero here thinking the same thing.

[–] PassingDuchy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, they just did it wrong. Romance comic version is a diamond frame on the male chest often referred to as the tiddy window lol

[–] DreadPirateShawn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How are the chest straps on the left anchored? Do they attach into the skin or?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Both outfits are just gaff tape

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thats so smart

[–] nobody158@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Idk I think that covers too much.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 weeks ago

The thong on the right is sitting way too high, men's hips are lower down than that.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So if someone is attracted to women they must also like men?

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It says "be ok with", not "like".

To be fair I like left but it's hard to say "I'm ok" with either.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have no reason to object to either, except that I like the one on the left and I don’t understand the appeal of the chest strap on the right. You do you but only if it’s attractive to someone, not just unnecessary similarity out of some sense of self righteousness

I meant more that they are quite distracting in 90% of the instances. I guess as swimsuits?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, professional wrestling. Sell it right and everybody is.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think the guy is overdressed.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Feels extra lewed to me. Take some off lol.
