For Honor & signalling

So there has been a lot of talk that For Honor is a perfect example of how to do female armor.  Perhaps the best part about disagreeing with this was it meant a bunch of people who follow for unhelpful reasons ended up agreeing with their nemesis, Kotaku, but the second best part is it let me talk about design and signalling.

Disclaimer

For the people rushing to point out that in 50% of the classes the designs are mostly identical across genders and I agree that’s a pretty good.  We also tag For Honor as a positive example.

However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have flaws and that it’s better to talk about them rather than just rubberstamp it as flawless.

Also I feel it’s important to point out that there’s literally nothing in For Honor that suggests that historical accuracy was even faintly a priority.  The designs are mishmash of various elements of history and fantasy based off what the developers thought looked cool. Therefore any arguments about obscure theories in history or archaic standards are pretty much irrelevant.

Another round of “it’s a positive example but let’s nitpick everything we can”, by the people who take offense at bras existing in a fantasy setting when that poor guy just below has sharp metal plates chafing against his bare skin. His skin that wasn’t made dark on the game’s website by the way.

Because of course it wouldn’t be okay wtf is wrong with you.

Oh man, these assholes plucked that screenshot from the selection page and slapped it over the animation. That’s an act of desperation, right there.
