1/10 troll bait Regardless, the human body has ALWAYS been sexualized and sexy armor goes back a looong time. Just look up nipples on armor and the like: Muscle cuirassAs for armor being protective: Just how good is ANY armor against swords and crossbows unless it's so heavy you can barely move, making it very UNPRACTICAL??I forgot where I read it but rarely were soliders heavily armored. And going into a fight almost naked was a thing. It's about intimidation.
You'll be surprised. I certainly was QFT. Plate armour was pretty light compared to what people expect it to weigh, and it did stop swords and arrows just fine. However with the introduction of gunpowder, latter period armour was thicker and heavier than earlier period armour.

That vid is always a gale of truth Like what? That clothing that covers little of the body protects little more than your modesty? I don't think anyone is disputing that fact, shall I prepare a video explaining that water is wet and that the sky is blue for the maximum amount of truth bombage? Technically, water is only wet between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius and the sky's colour depends on the amount of dust particles, cloud cover and (if you take different planets into account) atmospheric composition. So, yea, can we have a video about that? - smart-ass mode off
On topic: For me, it depends on the setting. In a pure fantasy game, I don't mind impractical armor as long as the design is cool (btw, Dragon Age Origins had it's share of belly top leather armors if I recall correctly). It's fantasy after all, go wild. On the other hand, if the setting tries to give a somewhat realistic vibe, I hate sexy armor as it just breaks immersion (e.g. Jack in Mass Effect 2, wtf was that?)
