To be honest, “slut plate” *is* sexist. There’s no point in an armoured bra (etc), and that makes it 100% pure fanservice – or to put it in other words, given the overwhelmingly male designers, manservice. But I agree we should do away with the discourse surrounding it cos it attacks the people who use it at least as much as the designers (I’m not even sure it implies criticism of the designers at all), and indeed they have a right to wear what they want both in-game and in the material world. |
