"Someone: Makes up random facts or complains about armor" It's a good video, but honestly, I'm questioning the legitimacy of the claim that people are actually complaining about the armor, and that the anti-SJW crowd are just making up another imaginary target to complain about. I remember when Zero-Suit Samus' booty shorts costume was first shown for Super Smash Bros 4, and people were PISSED - not at the outfit, but that people could be mad about the outfit. People were posting blog posts and articles about "ackteuelli, here's hwy its practical in sphess" or whatever, and Metroid lore videos digging up the original source for the outfit from the SNES, or - oddly - pointing out that bikini Samus existed in the first game and something "worse" somehow makes it acceptable, for some reason? Tons of posts, tons of outrage over those dern femiNAZIS trying to censor the game and take away these costumes, and people just waiting to dump all these articles on those unsuspecting SJWs who dared to complain. But no one did. Not one. Nobody complained about the outfit. The worst was that the high-heel boots in the new costume looked silly and the old ones were better, that's it. It is very easy to rile up anti-feminists and the like with this kind of manufactured outrage nonsense, and this smells awfully similar. If someone tells you "omg teh SJWs r so maed" or similar, don't just take their word for it, actually try to find the other side of the "controversy". Sometimes it will, but often it doesn't exist.

[@Automatic_Otto]

The thing that really bothered me about this was that the armor isn't even oversexualizing, its literally just designed to fit female biology.

The problem is that Mandalorian Armor is made to defend against lasers or ballistics. While I don’t think it's necessarily dangerous but there's a reason boob kevlar isn't used.

[@TristanHayes]

@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 Ballistics would have a similar story as what Shad was talking about with blunt force impacts assuming that the armor is made out of a metal as strong as it is presented as in the Mandalorian. Mind you kevlar is made out of a synthetic fiber that looks about like wall insulation, so kevlar REALLY isn't an apt comparison to the unobtanium "beskar" metal presented in the show. But even so, all they did is make the armor more comfortable to the female wearer's body which is the same thing that the US army is doing IRL with their own armor, so if you want to bring up kevlar, actually yes, female military kevlar armor is built and designed differently than male kevlar armor even within the kevlar limitations. And blasters (they're not lasers) make the breast armor matter even less since they'll still just literally deflect off the beskar. So you don't have to worry about shock impact or anything of the sort whatsoever therefore I don't see how blasters are a point against breast armor.

[@zerofire3172]

Just remember women in the armed forces have been asking for boob armor or rather plates made for a womans body for years. And they only recently got it.

Yeah, but the soldier isn't providing their own like Knights and other elite forces (those with metal plate armor, especially embellished armor) did.

@@Mavairo rifle is fine. US military testing dusted the absolute shit out of a bunch of different kinds of rifles in 2007 (to the point where they admit it doesn't resemble reality) and the failure rate over 6000 rounds ranged from 0.2% (SCAR/416) to 1.2% for a bog standard M4. The fail rate for static rifles getting continuously dusted and never being even wiped down. As in even walking or holding the rifle would probably keep 'em clean.

[@immafriedric3]

Google "RMA female armor" for civilian-type ballistic armor for women. There's a slightly bigger curve than armor for dudes, but both have the same monolithic curve profile. And the 'boob armor' for the US military is sizing and cutout changes to accommodate boobs yes, but it still looks pretty fuckin' flat to me.

So I'm between a DD and a DDD. I'm also an accomplished costume designer for historical costumes. I physically can not fit into any historical armour as is with my bust size. Even with binding my chest. It is impossible and WILDLY painful. It also impedes movement because you compensate for the uncomfortable pressure. I worked with someone who does historically accurate armour, and we had to fashion it to accommodate my size. I do first models on myself because if it can work for me it can pretty much work for anyone. I am short and I have a smaller waist. Making stuff that essentially just allows room, doesn't really work. It's so much more bulky on a female form and it can add weird pressure spots in places that aren't designed to withstand it- even without a blow. To some extent if you have a figure like mine, it will show up in that armour no matter what bc it has to for functionality. Boobs and hips make things look like they have.... boobs and hips. Trying to cover that up past a certain point creates far more problems than it helps.

Mandalorians armor gets made to fit the wearer perfectly, all armor is unique

[@levimosiman8081]

Exactly. And as a person that comes about as close as you can get to a real life Mandalorian, I can say we know what we're doing. Don't question the way of the Mandalorians. The Mandos have been in the business of making armor to fit and protect themselves literally for thousands of years. Mandalorians are also the most accepting, diverse, united society in all of Star Wars and maybe even real life, so nobody has the right to call our armor sexist or anything else. If people think the armor is sexist, they don't know anything about Mandalorians. There is little to no distinction between gender in the language or culture.

Wait, didnt Bo Katan say that the armor was in her family for four generations? Is old armor adjusted, or do they go through the accumulated mass of armor, worn by past generations, to find something that fits?

[@joshuakim5240]

@@ABW941 If i recall, season 1 showed that old Beskar armor is melted down and remade after the wearers' death to fit a future wearer, so theoretically a family can wear the literal same chunk of Beskar for generations, but just have each next generation melt it down to reshape it. So there's a pretty decent chance that most Mandalorians are wearing armor that's been used and reshaped several times already. Pretty much the only way to make recycling look badass.

[@16caldwellj95]

@@joshuakim5240 I see this as the most likely answer, because (Spoilers for Clone Wars): Jango Fett's helmet was destroyed in an attempt to assassinate Mace Windu, so in order for Boba to inherit the armour there would no doubt be adjustments and repairs made. It doesn't seem like a stretch to assume the same for other Mandalorians, as Boba also says the armour belonged to his father despite these changes.

[@flamebird2218]

I agree with this video. I'd like to point out that historically, a person's anomatical proportions had to be measured for a person to fit a suit of armor, regardless of gender. Joan of Arc, like males of the time period, had armor designed specifically for her size.

just to mention, in Star Wars they either have vibro blades, blasters, or lightsabers, there is very very few armors that can withstand either of those melee weapons and I don't think blasters really care about the shape of your armor other than it either just going through it or being absorbed.

And many such warriors were identified by their armor more so than anything else. That was part of the reason Revan used a Mandalorian mask. He was telling the Mandalorians 'I'm here! Revan has come!' If each Mandalorian customizes their armor in their own way, it's only logical that a female Mandalorian would in turn customize her armor in the way she wants. Problem solved.

I'm one of those that is no slouch in that department and let me tell you, I never would have thought to even question the female Mandalorian armor, because it just looks like it fits *properly.* So well done, in fact, that I didn't even consciously notice it, and that's how it *should* be. I can't believe this even became an argument. 🤦‍♀️ Another thing I'd like to mention is that *not everyone* who is large breasted wants to accentuate it, but sometimes comfort and/or modesty overrides ones ability to hide it. (I.E: Bras, which both accentuate the overall shape and also help cover the headlights, and are *also* a double-edged sword when it comes to comfort.)

[@skynutter.]

There many people out there who try to exaggerate small things. They get offended by the smallest of things. Just because a movie shows boob armour doesn't mean they're sexists, as a matter of fact it isn't even there for accentuaing the bust. It's there for practical reasons. Do you really wanna wear armour that constantly presses against your chest? Even shad's armour which he wear in the video has space as mentioned by him. But that's just how some people are, it just needs one person to point it out and others would start dogpilling and accusing without any proper argument. And NO 'its sexist' isn't a good enough argument because there is a GOODDARN reason for that!

This sounds like celebrities complaining about corsets. Armor and corsets and bras and CLOTHING ITSELF is SUPPOSE TO FIT THE PERSON WEARING IT. Corsets were made to the person wearing it. The armor is made to the soldier wearing it. Bras aren’t made to the wearer because we apparently don’t do it anymore. People complain about not having clothing that fits them anymore, but we don’t hand make all our clothes anymore. We don’t have tailor made pants and shirts and coats and shoes anymore because it’s expensive, and we’d rather have something cheep than something durable. It’s really a cry against fast fashion and cheep labor.

[@ElricGurl]

[@Hope_IsNotMyName]

Thank you, everyone seems to ignore the fact that corsets existed. I mean, they were sort of a female armor anyway, and women wore them for centuries until the progressive movement happened.

[@yorukaadams940]

@Hope The progressive movement back then was hijacked by men who wanted to wreck the fashion industry, a place where women could shine back then. We had 'doctors" constantly talking about the "harmful" effects of corsets. The debate progressed until we just decided "corset bad". Female workers who broke their backs for like 10 hours a day never had a problem with their own corsets, so I don't know why we ever trusted these "doctors". These are the same guys who thought the uterus could fly out of somebody and drive a car, so humanity is just very gullible at times.

Lesson: don't get angry just because you're ignorant.

[@oldrabbit8290]

part of the reason is Hollywood's depiction of armor: when a knight in full armor could go down instantly by a mere sword cut, then it's natural for people (who don't know any better) to think you need to deflect the hit to have a chance to survive, instead of just taking it as an armor should..

[@KingBobXVI]

"Lesson: don't get angry just because you're ignorant" This goes both ways, btw - don't get super riled up because someone tells you that someone else is angry. Having not really been following anything regarding Star Wars for a while, maybe it's real and I just haven't seen it, but the "complaints" about the armor itself sound a lot like many other cases in the gaming world where people rush to defend whatever character outfit they want to "protect from censorship" or something from the "whining SJWs" or whatever. Only, said SJWs often tend not to exist. Are there _actually_ people complaining about boob armor in The Mandalorian? Or are there just people who saw said boob armor, thought "omg the SJWs are going to be so triggered lol", and then went off to the internet to make preemptive complaints about the presumably inevitable backlash from "SJWs" to all their friends, who read those posts as, "there are SJWs complaining about this" and the confirmation bias just builds from there without any real complaints from the other side? Because this happens constantly. Happened with Doom: Eternal, Cuphead, Samus' booty-shorts costume in Super Smash Bros, etc. So yes, don't get angry just because you're ignorant, and that includes being angry at a vague group of people you were told totally exists by other people who dislike them rather than responding directly to said people, assuming they do actually exist.

If the armor doesn't accentuate enough of the female body then it's called sexist. If it accentuates too much, which these days is basically anything, then it's too sexist. People just want something to bitch about, and feel like victims over. It's petty, stupid, and an attempt to shame women in every degree by the very same people claiming to build them up.

As someone who has breasts, I imagine wearing a flat chest armor would squish them and be very uncomfortable. Flip side is, you do have to have some form of protection there because your chest IS rather important. So, having armor that fits your shape more comfortably seems logical? And as having fenced before, we have a similar type of thing, only in plastic of course but shaped so that it can be worn over breasts comfortably while still protecting them.

Also Mandalorian personalise their armor. No 2 pieces are the same unless they are from a militant division. Looking back through Mandalorian culture they have always prided themselves in their strength and determination. Also.

Exactly! I feel like all these arguments have been made by people who actually never had the experience of having the slightest hint of boobs on their chest. Wearing too tight of a fit of ELASTIC FABRIC feels not only uncomfortable but hinders the amount of air you can breathe in, no matter your size. And I'd expect if you're wearing an armour, you're also likely to partake in activities that require you to draw as much breath as you need without hinderance... and to my knowledge, there is no comparison to be made with those erect cock armours since that is not in a place that is relevant to vital bodily functions you need in battle like actually breathing comfortably! And to argument otherwise like it has been done so far is the real occurence of sexism. I know we're in a pandemic and many people are probably so bored they'll try to pick a fight on anything but come on.... There are more meaningful debates to be had, people need to stop bickering at anything that makes anyone that doesn't have a white male body they identify with more comfortable. Jeez...
