Sukumizu Faux Pas


Attention, female readers. If you feel that your swimsuit does not have enough fanservice appeal, bear in mind a sukumizu makes you look immature and uncool.

In many Shojo TV shows, wearing a school swimsuit (sukumizu) outside school premises is a major faux pas because any female character wearing a school swimsuit to a swimming complex or a water park or the beach outside of field trips would be considered immature. This will cause other female characters to scramble to get her proper swimwear lest she be seen as uncool.

Even a two-piece swimsuit comprising of a sports bra swim top and boyshorts swim bottoms, which appears to be modest by two-piece swimwear standards, would have far better approval than a school swimsuit in swimwear terms, and yet, people are saying that Samus from Metroid shouldn't be wearing swimwear as alternate costumes to any Super Smash Bros games, claiming that fanservice is not allowed in many of Nintendo's games. Nintendo, however, states clearly that the sports bra and boyshorts attires worn by Samus in the Game Boy Advance Metroid games are eligible alternate costumes for Zero Suit Samus in the Super Smash Bros games given that such costumes are also worn by female wrestlers in professional wrestling, and Smash not only has several stages that allows the swimming feature, but also a boxing ring that stands in as a wrestling ring.

As for wearing a sukumizu to take part in an Anime convention swimwear competition, that is definitely out of the question.
