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?
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 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

One note: for full equality, either both nipples should be covered, or neither
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

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.

3rd question Why not both at the same time
BleatingZombie@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
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.

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.

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

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

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

It says "be ok with", not "like".
To be fair I like left but it's hard to say "I'm ok" with either.

I meant more that they are quite distracting in 90% of the instances. I guess as swimsuits? Still distracting but I should be able to handle it.

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