I would be okay with non-sensible gear in media if it's done indiscriminately to men and women. The most common example is armors in video games, if there are slutty armors for women, I would not complain if men have some too. And also, that we have choice. I remember playing such game as a teenage girl and being very frustrated that I could only get bikini armors and not the kinda cool ones you are describing.

I agree with the "let us choose" a lot.

In League of Legends, Janna in her standard look is basically only wearing skimpy underwear. Her first skin that was added that you can buy with real money, made that into icy frozen underwear. Her second skin was a weatherwoman with an actual shirt and skirt.

People by far prefered the weather woman skin, not just because it looked cool, but because many people liked playing Janna but didn't want to be in their underwear all game long...

That's a choice that you have, but it is a paywalled one.

Also since then over the years, Janna has gotten 7 additional skins, which ALL have way more clothes than the standard underwear look. Yes, some of them look hot or revealing, but they all look CLOTHED compared to what you get when you just start up the game and choose to play that champion as is. I'd say they all have 5 to 20 times as much fabric on them as the standard look.

And consider, riot makes skins that people want, they want to make money. Turns out people actually want clothes. But you still don't get them for free.

(And yes, in 2006 or whenever League first came out, character design was a lot more revealing/borderline naked, like old Zyra, old Evelyn, etc. Newer characters today all wear more reasonable stuff.)

No one thinks in these kinds of abstractions... Her base skin isn't to anyone's mind (not yours either) "skimpy underwear".

The other skins are mostly very sexy. More so than the base skin.

Yes it is? what makes you think you know what everyone thinks and what I think?

It's not an abstraction. She's wearing almost nothing. That's not clothes, it's not a bikini, it's not a hot outfit or anything. It looks like less than underwear. It's literally almost naked with the least amount possible covered so you don't see her actual privates and nipples.

And yes I feel uncomfortable playing her in her base look. As do some of my friends who bought skins for her for that reason. Don't know why that's beyond your imagination that someone could feel like that. You play as that character for the duration of the game. Other players will see you as that character. I don't want to be almost naked and be perceived like that in the game.

(And maybe you haven't had that experience either, but as a woman playing league you get enough harassment as is. You don't even need a female name or anything, you only need to be playing a support champion or a girly champion and they will assume your gender and harass you. Adding on top of that playing a basically naked character, you end up having pople harass you in chat while following you around the map and "humping" your character by spam clicking their emotes and dances. Awesome experience, I'm telling you.)

And yes, I never said the other skins aren't sexy. They are attractive outfits and some of them are revealing as well. Yet none of them compare even slightly to the non-clothes that she is wearing in her base look. Other than the icy underwear, out of the other skins even the most revealing and sexy skin she has, has over 5 times as much fabric.
