legumancer DavyFinally, an explanation for bikini armor that makes sense!
Allan Chow@legumancer wasn't this a diagram of where planes were shot but were able to make it back?
Pseudo Nym@grumpasaurus @legumancer I'm going to assume that's the joke.
In the real world "survivorship bias" airplane case, that was the mistake almost made.
Here, the Dwarven craftsman makes the same mistake, to "explain" the cheesecake partial nudity armor.
@pseudonym @legumancer damnit I didn't read the link! Doh.
@grumpasaurus @legumancer Hah! That's exactly the idea behind survivorship bias. It doesn't seem unreasonable on its face.
Dave Brady@grumpasaurus @legumancer lol, literally came here to make the same argument. Second pic is a diagram of injuries babes can survive. (Hence the wikipedia link.)
THAT said, per this diagram, from the neck up we should be seeing full helms with carbon steel niqabs.
Then again, it's babe armor, not butterface armor; there may be an essential minimum amount of objectification.
I feel like I might be overthinking this
@dbrady @grumpasaurus the armor results from protecting against only non fatal injuries, so it's probably helmless!
@grumpasaurus that's exactly what it is! I didn't want to over-word the post for folks who already recognized it.
Tournesol 🌻@grumpasaurus that's exactly it, it shows a real biais. The blank spaces are actually the vital ones ðŸ˜

theStoicGurn (he/him)I would add cooling, because when you're not standing there admiring yourself you're running absolutely everywhere all the time.
Not for you, having to stop and pour sweat out of your boots, they're open-toed!
CarlRJ@theStoicGurn @legumancer and the high heels serve to keep the sweat from pooling at the back of the boot.
Virginicus@legumancer By Jove, I think he’s got it!
NiceMicro@legumancer Everything makes sense now!

That's hysterical 🤣
As you point out Abraham Wald and survivorship bias revealed that armor should actually be laid out like this:
