My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!

This is truly stiff competition for the worst case of willful false equivalence we've ever seen.
So, for those not aware: Ongoing embarrassment to gamers and the gaming industry, Mark Kern (former lead on FireFall), has been desperately trying to get Gamergate 2 going on X/Twitter... well after others have given up. If you need to get caught up on Mark, I recommend this video by documentary maker and experienced game developer, Dead Domain:

One of the latest fiascos in this mix has been the comparison of responses to character designs from Hades 2 (Aphrodite, left) and Stellar Blade (protagonist Eve, right). The post isn't by Mark, but is part of the general harassment campaign he's trying to lead.
If you're somehow not familiar with Aphrodite, she's the Ancient Greek goddess of love, lust and hot girl shit. It is absolutely perfect characterization for her to show up to a battle (or anything else) nude but for her hair teasingly covering the intimate parts of her body. But the buried lede here is, you don't fight her in Hades and nothing about Hades 2 indicates she'll fight there either, she just likes the aesthetic and has no reason not to indulge.
Stellar Blade will release on 26 April 2024, so we can't really give an informed discussion of her character. But what we do know is the studio head is the illustrator from Blade & Soul, Eve is described as being a member of "the 7th Airborne Squad" engaged in an "operation to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba", and the promotion material promises "an enthralling narrative filled with mature themes, mystery and revelation. Embrace the relentless pace, with no time to pause between moments where critical, story-changing decisions are made."
It's to be compared to games like Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry 5, Jedi: Fallen Order and Sekiro. And the screenshots look like this:

And yeah, unlike Bayonetta she's not supposed to be an unstoppable force of nature (and fashion) who is immune to self-doubt, she's supposed to be the scrappy underdog last survivor of her team.
Weird they gave her a costume that conveys... the opposite of literally everything they're supposed to be trying to tell you about her.

Dionysus and Ariadne for @margaretkart! She's wearing the famous Minoan priestess outfit with belt, apron and flounces, with a pose inspired by classic romance comic artist Nell Brinkley.

Imagine if Captain Marvel dressed up for Halloween as Kratos from God of War! I headcanon that Captain Marvel is around 8"5 and was having a hard time figuring out a costume that would work for his height and figure, until I remembered the the dutch giant Olivier Richters (7"2) did a cosplay of Kratos! (Eugene bribed him to do it)

(The Justice League having a normal Halloween party.)
Captain Marvel coming in looking like he's ready for war and bald: ...awwwww why didn't anyone else dress up? :(
The entire Justice League with their weapons out: CAPTAIN MARVEL??!?!!
Captain Marvel: Hi! :3
Black Adam destroying Fawcett City: HaHAAh! Were is your hero now? Hiding in a corner, too scared to face me!
Captain Marvel in costume looking unrecognizable: Black Adam stop this instant or else!
Black Adam: Haaha Captai- WHAT THE HELL! What are you wearing?!??
Captain Marvel: It's my butt kicking outfit!
The actual god Kratos who entered the divine group chat: Rip his head from his body!

it took me about a million rewatches to notice this detail about the Fates' costumes:
one of them has a pair of scissors attached to her waist, another has a bit of string at the hip, and the third one has a measuring tape (with Greek letters on it) across her shoulder
such a cool reference to the myth where the Fates would hold and eventually cut the strings of a person's life

Fun KAOS episode 2 Easter eggs:
Orpheus’ pyjamas look like they’re based on Minoan/Mycenaean frescos; Dionysus’ shirt is almost certainly The Matrix; and Orpheus has a tattoo of Sisyphus on his arm because… well… spoilers
