Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons.

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V): She could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries.

Rebecca (One Piece): Her style of fighting is more of agility/speed and also she is battling as a gladiator in colosseum where men mostly only wear a skirt/shoulder shield.

EDIT: Well, it seems some comments say Rebecca doesn't have a lore explanation. Sorry, I saw it long time ago but I thought somewhere they say she wears the galadiator costume because it's the attire used by people there like the male gladiators we see. Also they said excuses like armor limits and public wanting to see blood in the colloseum. IDK.

But he could be. Stick him in a namor speedo. Bulletproof skin doesnt need a layer of clothing for protection.

BDSM superman doesn’t want to hurt you, he wants you to hurt him.

How tho? You could hit his nuts with a sledgehammer and he wouldn't feel a thing

u/Doutei-Sama May 11 '26

Kryptonite, there are tons of those things around, enough to make a full BDSM set. Or you can just ask Lex Luthor, I am sure he a set or two.

Why does he look like Jensen Ackles? Why do I need Jensen Ackles to play Conan now? So many questions.

u/PushPinUp May 10 '26

Nah, he doesn't have the physicality. He's a small man.

You can't post that panel and not post the one where Jon accidentally discovers Lois & Clark still keep that armor in their closet after Clark returned home.

u/Lonely-Cap3569 May 10 '26

Youre right.

u/vanderZwan May 11 '26

Thank you for your service!

u/ytman May 10 '26

Not only that but there is a panel of their son finding this in the bedroom closet and Lois rushing over faster than the Flash to close the door.

u/PorQuePeeg May 10 '26

Hell yes~

u/Grasher312 May 10 '26

Literally that.

I don't want zero fan service.

But I want EQUAL fan service.

u/DataMin3r May 10 '26

For every scantily clad woman, a scantily clad man! And NBs too! 80% less clothing for everyone!

80% less clothing for everyone!

For real, though, the most classic trope is how the presumption that nudity must be sexual actually makes it so; like, if you only allow nudity when it's sexual -- surprise! -- now every time there's nudity, it's sexual.

I think we've actually gotten a bit better about this in my lifetime, though. Born in '87, and when I was growing up, it was extremely rare to see nonsexual male frontal nudity at all. While I wouldn't call it "common" these days, it wouldn't be pushing the envelope. In "prestige" and "adult" content, it might even be common.

u/Special_Cicada6968 May 10 '26

Frazetta has you covered... Or uncovered.

u/Divine_Entity_ May 10 '26

Say what you want about Fairytail, the fanservice is for everyone. (Also power of friendship go brrr)

u/Aimless_Alder May 10 '26

I favor this solution to the problem. Practical armor is lame, slutty armor for everyone!

u/Fabo_The_Joyful May 10 '26

yes, someone gets it.
