For humors sake here is a list of bingo cards that sexual women and show the neutered personality of idealized men. It is a two for one.

As someone who grew up on He-Man cartoons where all the dudes were built like roided out body builders and the women were 6' tall blondes with blue eyes and 38-22-38 measurements I guess you can call me de-sensitized.

I will never care.

When humans are given the opportunity to draw someone out of thin air they tend to make them awesome. End of story.

Who says it's not possible to have a pretty character that fulfils none of the criteria?

ブレイドアンドソウル

Aka Blade and Soul (Japan).

Here, have another screenshot. Right is an NPC generated by the game makers with boob window but none of the others. Left is my char's current costume - and probably permanent costume, seeing as the 'Wardrobe' doesn't have anything better. This one does offend your thigh-high boots and bared back sensibilities though while the earlier two screenshots didn't... but it's so much more colour coordinated with her hair.

The game universe is quite martial-artsy, so none of the available costumes really look like armor other than the event 'tin man' ones (which are immersion breaking for a whole lot of other reasons). They tend to be non-restrictive clothes, of which only a minority of them are impractical.

You probably shouldn't Mike.

They might make you feel funny.

Like when you used to climb the rope in gym class.

You never know. But you probably shouldn't try it anyway.
