This is the thing about modern feminists: Some feminists will say it is sexist to have women showing lots of skin and wearing heels. And other feminists will say it is sexist to take away the beauty of women by making them dress unfeminine, and that there is a lot of power in showing off skin and wearing heels. It's a civil war within feminism, so what are companies supposed to do? Whatever they do will tick off half the feminists. |
There's a world of difference between, say, Aerith wearing high heels to enter Don Corneo's mansion and what a lot of games do.
Most of the times it's just one of the most annoying and immersion-breaking things in games. It's such an inconvenient, actively detrimental thing to wear in a physically demanding context. I don't think there's a single feminist that would argue with this.
Bikini armors are such a non-issue in comparison. Historically many kinds of armor would take form over function or cover just parts of the body, after all.
