A common trend in trafitional games is for armor to put an emphasis on from at the expense of function. The rule of "because it's cool" usually keeps the suspension of disbelief under control, but there are cases where it simply looks too stupid to work yet somehow manages to do so anyway.
Fantasy armor has a long and noble tradition of [[awesome|awesomeness]]. Bear skin speedos, chainmail bikinis, massive codpieces, and boobplate are all standard equipment for adventuring parties and threads dedicated to ridiculous armors are a common sight on /tg/.

It separates, AND supports!
This armor protects the most vital parts of the body.

Fantasy armor has a long and noble tradition of awesomeness. Bear skin speedos, chainmail bikinis, massive codpieces, and boobplate are all standard equipment for adventuring parties and threads dedicated to ridiculous armors are a common sight on /tg/. Why does /tg/ celebrate such brazen sluttiness? The answers are known as the 3 Fs:

Freedom! - In a world where rules and restrictions constrain everything that we do, RPGs give a unique outlet to let loose your inner degenerate. In an RPG, if you want your warrior to wear nothing but a magic sock (which counts as full platemail) then nothing is stopping you.

Fun! - Elaborate and highly stylized armor is interesting and enjoyable to look at. An entire world filled 120% utilitarian equipment is boring and quickly becomes dull.

Fap! - Many /tg/ threads are in fact fap threads that are barely concealed as "armor" dumps.
