Does the elf-woman in those Tynon ads know that her boob-straps won't protect her?

[Orrex]

Stylish, perhaps, but not great for battlefield safety.

1. Women in fantasy media are invulnerable except their nipples and vajayjay.

Eventually a woman in fantasy will find the Pasties of Protection and she will be unstoppable.

2. A picture would help immensely.

As I have no idea what you're talking about, though I glean that it's elf knight females with armor suspenders that barely contain her nipples.

This reminds me of the physics of breastplates with boobs. I'm sure I don't need to tell you, an experienced armorer and metalsmith, why a real-world breastplate with boobs would be lethal in combat to the wearer.

[Orrex]

3. No way! Steel boobs are impervious!

Actually, I jest.

In the SCA years ago I knew a woman who paid a tidy some for a, well, sculpted metal breastplate and was mercilessly teased for it. Aside from the obvious visual component, the protective shortcoming soon became apparent, and she wound up opting for a less eye-catching but more serviceable design.

5. Look at the artwork for most Gor novels

There will be a dame with incredible cleavage, wielding a sword, wearing a metal bikini. Think Princess Leia in her getup while under the sway of Jabba the Hut.

13. I couldn't find it either, googling video "tynon ad breast" produces a Siemens ad with naked girls

jumping from planes.

[Chan790]

14. Found them.

I don't know which is here but all their banner ads are pretty dumb.

20. I guess one doesn't have to worry about gravity in a video game.

8. Boob Plate Armor Would Actually Kill You

Let’s begin by stating the simple purpose of plate armor—to deflect blows from weaponry. Assuming that you are avoiding the blow of a sword, your armor should be designed so that the blade glances off your body, away from your chest. If your armor is breast-shaped, you are in fact increasing the likelihood that a blade blow will slide inward, toward the center of your chest, the very place you are trying to keep safe.

But that’s not all! Let’s say you even fall onto your boob-conscious armor. The divet separating each breast will dig into your chest, doing you injury. It might even break your breastbone. With a strong enough blow to the chest, it could fracture your sternum entirely, destroying your heart and lungs, instantly killing you. It is literally a death trap—you are wearing armor that acts as a perpetual spear directed at some of your most vulnerable body parts. It’s just not smart.

11. thus making the necrophiliac's fantasies come true ...

or something like that.

[Jeff R]

9. Well after all she is an elf

Maybe they have tougher boobs than their human counter parts.

[eppur_se_muova]

10. Meanwhile, men are covered in metal plate like Buicks ...

but leave the helmet off, just to look mean.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. read pokerfan's entry in this thread

for the sheer stupidity of it all ...

[JoeyT]

18. At least a few game worlds use that for women, too.

Though they're rare. A good example being the Sisters of Battle from Warhammer 40k:

[Dr. Strange]

15. Elf boobs need no protection.

[TZ]

17. As I said..

She needs to protect herself from herself with a bra. Running would be not fun. And certainly not any kind of up and down activity. OUCHIE.

[Dash87]

16. What I love about these "free" games is that they aren't.

They're "free to play," which is usually a euphemism for micro-transactions and pay-to-win.

The ads are deceptive. This just looks like a generic RTS piece of shit that's a copy-paste of the old warcraft games.

[Sheldon Cooper]

19. I hate having to see that fucking ad every time I click on a thread.

Who needs to see that shit? And any woman knows that having breasts that big supported only by a couple of straps is not conducive to fighting monsters, or whatever silly shit she's supposed to be doing.
