Wait, how do chainmail bikinis equate to full frontal male nudity?
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Because if you're not deeply offended at Red Sonja, you're obviously a bromancer who runs screaming at the site of male nudity...or something equally idiotic.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

The chainmail bikini was only invented (presumably for comic books) because you apparently couldn't show women fighting topless, like the ancient amazon warriors in greek art were often show. Even some of the Valkyries were shown like that. You see topless women all the time in Victorian books on mythology.

The chain mail bikinis is silly, true, but it's a result of modern day prudery.

Man, I just wanna read an RPG book and not get the feeling that the art and text were gone over by thirteen committes, 7 focus groups and a panel of experts on what was "correct" to put in.

And has some sideboob.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

A chainmail bikini, it is a lot less silly than a fig leaf.

Surely depends if its lined.
Simple chainmail has to present some painful nipple chaffing/pinching scenarios that your standard fig leaf avoids.

Well I considered mentioning the bikini being lined. But I thought, no that's so obvious to any mammal that there's no need to mention it.

It's a horse not an ass. :p

This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

What?


Walken: Do you have sex with horses, or with human women?

Centaur: Uh.. neither. I'm really only attracted to other Centaurs.

Walken: Okay. What if were a horse with a mask of a woman on it?

Centaur: No. I mean, would you have sex with a monkey if it had a mask on?

Walken: This interview is not about me. What if you saw a horse, but it was standing so that its head was in a barn, or something. Would you, maybe, be attracted to that horse's rear end?

Centaur: Uh.. I don't.. where is the head, exactly?

Walken: It's in the barn.. or behind a door, or a vase, or something.. so you can't see it.

Centaur: Uh.. I might be attracted to it - briefly.

Walken Okay. So, let's say, hypothetically, that you could have sex with the back end.. and it's guranteed to be the greatest sex you ever had.. but you'd never know if it was as horse or as Centaur?

Centaur: Hmm.. you know, that's pretty intriguing.. uh.. if I'd really never know, I guess I would.

Walken: It was a horse.
