Cis-het guy here. I like both in games. I understand the thin strap thing has "magic defense" or whatever, but if that's the case, why do I never see men wearing it? Conversely, if the non-magical steel armor works, why don't the women ever wear it?
Why is it necessary to not be a speedo? I can understand that some people might like to see an attractive guy in a speedo - more power to them. However I don’t understand the appeal of the chest strap thing so if it’s done out of some requirement to be equivalent, just rip that right off and let him strut his stuff.
The speedo makes me a little uncomfortable because I’m not interested in that, but the chest strap thing strap just seems odd, but I’m ok with whatever
I have no reason to object to either, except that I like the one on the left and I don’t understand the appeal of the chest strap on the right. You do you but only if it’s attractive to someone, not just unnecessary similarity out of some sense of self righteousness
