The current illustration is unnecessarily censored. What about showing the real thing?

Previous thread. While I don't have an issue with the current, 1.1 is probably the best at getting across the discrepancy in the two sexes' armor.

I agree. Current is much more illustrative and I don't get how any of the suggestions are better or how current is "censored" when it's supposed to be a diagram. But I'd really have to go with 1.1 in that case due to comparison.

Here is a better version of 1.5 (which is my favourite).

I also found this from Necromunda (what she is wearing gives her a 6+ save) the bottom would need to be cropped though.

^^ Schematic is probably the better word. I don't get a good sense of what the trope is about from looking at current image.

If it is changed, I'd go with 1.1.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I actually think the last panel is even funnier but it has the Dorkly mark on it.

That arm looks really well protected.
Edit to note source is Conan the Barbarian (2011).

9, for the added lampshading.

I agree with the above tropers that 9 isn't really ideal, because it erronously implies that the trope is Always Female, while at the same time suggesting that Tropes Are Bad.

[down] Same issue as 9 with the Tropes Are Not Bad thing, only more condescending.

This would be my choice except for the Dorkly logo in the corner. Would that be a watermark or a bug? Either way I feel it detracts from the image.

I'm gonna go with 17.2 as the best option right now. They're both from the same work, and it's clear that both male and female characters have less-than adequate armor coverings for the sake of fanservice. [tup]

^ Well, actually they are not from the same work. Just montaged them together from 4.1 and 10.1.

Really? Wouldn't have guessed—the art styles are rather similar and the edit is seemless—good job.

If the logos in the corner aren't a problem this is from the cover of Conan and Red Sonja

Similarly Hercules and Xena

How about putting together pics of the Darkoath Warqueen and Chieftain from Warhammer: Age of Sigmar?
