Female armour in fantasy being stupidly revealing. it was old in the 90s. nowadays, it's just embarressing.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

not familiar with creepypastas, but what exactly does "rules" consist of?

Symptoms that your narrative is a casualty of Grimdark include:
- A washed-out, dark colour palette of dirty greys and blacks
- Gruff heroes with no moral compass
- Killing off characters every five minutes.
- Drowning the audience in so much depressing schlock that they don't care anymore.

It's so...unnecessary. And the armor wouldn't do anything because it's so revealing!

No, in fact that always kept me up whenever I saw it. If you have invisible material why would you waste it on armour? That doesn't even make the warrior invisible! Such a durable, flexible and extraordinary material could have many great boons across a range of sectors....
Speaking of which, I get so frustrated when the logic of items in a world is just patently ignored. Like how castles in fantasy books are never designed around the fact that wizards or dragons exist. Or how the Harry Potter universe doesn't have a huge black market for like half the shit they pull out and then never use again.
Bottom line is, an extraordinary thing either needs an extraordinary explanation... or the world has to be changed to reflect that thing's existence.

Is there like a setting where you have medieval tech but have 19th-20th century style fortifications because of dragons serving as the air forces of that setting? Imagine sailing dragon carriers

Half the movies have the same cliches and plotline over and over again.
Rich white girl from the big city goes to a small town to set up a mega store or something. White girl meets a very handsome white guy and falls in love with him even though she already has a boyfriend back in the city. The girl and the guy get married and they save Christmas some how.

Swear on God, every poorly written work of fiction will have one love triangle involving the protagonist...usually with the flawless/attractive/superior mary sue protagonist easily winning out every single time.
I hate love triangles.

EDIT:
Revealing metal bikini armor for women. Seriously at least have some class when you're blatantly sexualizing your female characters.
Would it kill to add some pizazz
