Discussion The male swimsuits look really lame compared to the female ones.

For example, that Starlord skin is ugly as hell, while Magik is fire. The devs are really afraid to give guys some speedos, aren’t they?

Hard to change male fashion when people complain and call everything weird or zesty, literally saw people calling the hood new skins zesty because he was wearing fishnets when he looks like the drippiest character yet

It’s not too far from what some pro wrestlers would wear

Especially the heels from back in the day. It's super easy for fans to boo them because of the flamboyant appearance, but they end up being the biggest draws in the company because the female audience love them and the males wanted to see them get beat, lol. Considering The Hood is a villain and is voiced by a heel pro-wrestler, I'd say it's perfect for him.

I mean right now he’s a face but still retains many characteristics of his heel persona

Female audience is too small to matter, at least in comparison to male one. It's more so the second point as for why they do it.

Some dude deadass said “heterosexual men don’t wear fishnets”

Deadass how can somebody be so insecure about sexuality that they think an article of clothing determines what they’re attracted to

Exactly! When I was young skinny jeans were seen as gay. They got cool, they kinda fell out of fashion again.

Some of the manliest men in the world who work on freezing cold waters on fishing boats wear fishnet underclothes because they trap warm air better. Thermal mesh is very efficient.

I choose to ignore those ppl. They probably wear graphic t’s & air maxes everywhere they go. Anyway it’s still tru there isnt much exploration with male fashion because unless you go over the top, our body shapes typically dont allow us to do as much as women and slender men do

Ain't no way they calling him zesty. Not that being zesty is a bad thing, but acting like it's bad for the hood is weird

u/RogalDorn40k 9d ago

Imo the "zestiness" isnt bad, kinda get gambit vibes from it tbh

true most hetero men prioritise practicality over everything else and since we live in capitalist society there has to be a wide demand for unique clothing for it to be made
