There's something about a woman willing/able to kill her own garment, especially when it was trying to eat her at the time.

Don't ask me silly questions
I won't play silly games
I'm just a simple choo-choo train
And I'll always be the same
Next time, it won't be pretty rainbows. Please post images.
Here. That guy has some good stuff.
Not so much about metal bikinis (the armourer's article covered that) but about the idea that plate armour was somehow cumbersome even for people trained with it:

Well, here's my response to the "Female amor" posts..."

Now if anyone is uncomfortable with this, or thinks it's gross or silly...just think of what female gamers have to put up with...
The superduperheavy full plate myth probably originates from the Spanish Count-Duke of Olivares, who needed help, and used a crane, to mount in his horse. But that wasn't because the fullplate weighed so much, it was because he had a grave case of gout (was also obese, though that wouldn't have mattered without gout), which was the cause of his death. It was the pain hat prevented him from mounting by himself. He would have needed it all the same if he was in his undergarments only.
Tax
Think it was Sir Walter Scott who propagated the myth in Ivanhoe, if I remember right. Pretty well all knights could mount unassisted. Goes along with the old myth that swords weighed ten pounds. Oakeshott's Typology records the stereotypical Type XII long sword as weighing at 3 pounds maximum. On that point, if that point alone, D&D is surprisingly accurate: when you compare the weights given to mundane gear, armour and weapons from the period, it's more or less right.
No representation without taxation:
I was just updating the tumblr page, and this one seems to be the most popular we had by far, with over 200 reblogs and likes.

A quick tax payment.
Yes, yes, and no, not a random dude.
Most likely Wilt Chamberlain, since he played in Conan the Destroyer.

Lurker Taxes to set this train back on it's trackses.
*Pssst* Action.
Careful about the language in the last one. I'm not saving y'all's virgin ears out of choice, if you catch me.
Ah, I see what you mean now. Edited to protect virgin ears. Many thanks conductor.
I saved it. I'll put it on the tumbler page next time I update it.
I can: Warning: Swear words
I'm not sure where the original pictures for these demotivators came from, so I'd appreciate it very much if anyone would tell me.
