Femtroopers - Female Geeks go Wild

August 30th 2006 23:43
Update #3: The meme doesn't die... more and more girls are electing to get the molded uniform of the Femtrooper, inserting themselves into the midnight fantasies of entire battalions of fans.

Femtroopers hanging out, standing down!

A Femtrooper with a belly button tattoo - I guess she'd be an easily identified trooper...

It draws the eye, doesn't it? If I was firing into a group of Stormtroopers hiding behind a doorway, I'd unwittingly fire into that bellybutton over and over.

Some of the women that read this site were shocked by the sheer enthusiasm of the male readers. A comment:

"But they look so silly!! Are boys really so easily pleased??"

An anonymous commenter posted a sincere, though heated reply:

"It is like catching a glimpse into the handbag of a fine looking women and seeing that she has a set of roleplaying dice.

Geekness is not a male only domain but it comes close at times.

True Geek Chicks are a rare commodity and we love and cherish everyone of them."

Update #2: Here's a random 'Femtroopers on Shore Leave' picture that I found on the awesome 'Stormtroopers in love' post from BoingBoing. What the-!?

Femtroopers on Shore Leave Hula Hoop



Update: I found a new femtroopers picture on this polish site.... not sure where it's originally from, though.

Femtroopers Girls in Stormtrooper outfits


Two Femtroopers


I didn't even know that this was a 'thing'. I thought the geekiness of Star Wars was limited to teenagers in Darth Vader costumes calling their mom to come pick them up from the cinema. That, or old men in Darth Vader costumes trading insults with a fake dog.

I was wrong! Boy, was I ever...

Femtrooper at SF Convention
It appears that seemingly-normal women are getting custome-made Stormtrooper outfits made, with the waist cutoff and the breasts molded in. SFGate has the breaking news on this weird, but adolescently-cool phenomenon.

I have to admit that I feel some confusion here... I mean, it's weird and geeky and odd and just, well, weird. At the same time, however, I felt my pulse quicken at the sight of that open flesh and the suggestion of boobies.

No. I will not look up more pictures of Femtroopers.

Especially not on Google Image Search. That would be the beginning of a long downwards spiral into depravity and sin.

And you know it'll take about 10 seconds for some genius with a DV camera to make the first Femtrooper porn. With light sabre penises and vaginal-looking Death Stars.

i used to love Star Wars, but now that i've played the LEGO Star Wars game on Playstation 2, i almost can't stand it...was good bonding time with my little bro though

Got to love it. Now thats sex appeal, TK421 why arent you at your post.

I thought that kind of thing was left to the paid models at those conventions. Have a sub culture of women actually started to crave that sort of attention?
Has to be one of the more bizarre fetishes out there...

Comment by Cibbuano

sisi, that LEGO StarWars game looks fun. You didn't like it?

Legal, we are indeed so easily pleased. Mention to one of your guy friends that you'd like to 'make-out' with another girl, and you'll have their complete attention. We're very predictable that way.

Grant, I think there are MUCH more bizarre fetishes..

those girls are hot! i want numbers and names! hahaha

I think this is a much healthier fetish that the border line pedophilia promoted in our culture.
Half dressed, under age pop queens and celebrities oozing stupidity and empty ideals.

Admittedly IO am the target market for femtroopers, Maybe its just me (a geek) but the girls at the sci fi and comic conventions are usually quite intelligent and self aware, having fun.

Cibby I wasn't terribly good at it...we were playing 2-player so I kept falling into abysses and killing both of us...WHY can't droids jump? WHY?! haha my little bro was lovely and tolerant but I felt bad that I was hindering his progress

Dont you love it when your little brother has to be patient with you. They get that whole 'raising their eyebrows' thing going with a very mature shake of the head, resigning themselves to the facty that older siblings just lose it at a certain age

Comment by Cibbuano

September 1st 2006 03:38
I didn't have that problem with video games and my brother - no, my problem is that when I left home, he was this small high-school kid, and the last time I went back, he was a 110 kg rugby player.

'Uh, yeah, you can have both turkey drumsticks... '


Comment by Sisi

September 1st 2006 05:33
Haha I don't think I ever had "it" to lose Grant...my little bro is definitely the mature one!

Cibby my little bro is 9 and he already takes both drumsticks haha...he's just a skinny little thing but ice hockey demands a lotta energy!

legal, what I think is funny is that these girls are embracing the geek lifestyle, going hardcore and now sexing it up!

You call that looking silly? Ok, so it's not your conventional line of clothing, but it shows off some skin and has some big titty molds.

As silly as it technically is, can you not see how these suits accentuate all the features of a woman's body that is sexually attractive? Also notice how none of them bother to where there masks. It just shows that they have pretty faces too.

i'd nail a female stormtrooper. that'd be kinda hot

With the combat armour on? Is it designed for that?


Comment by Ragin Cajun

Sounds plausible. Have you seen "Excalibur"? Only one way to find out, I guess. lol

Comment by Legally Brunette

September 6th 2006 04:09
lol, I can see how the suits accentuate certain features of the female body. But I just don't get how guys can find it attractive, when it's all pretend! She doesn't look like that underneath!

It's like this - think about a girl with a really good body in a bikini. Nothin to hide. No disappointment when the bikini comes off, you get what you see.

Now think about a girl wearing a padded bra- that comes off and maybe you're a little disappointment because her boobs aren't quite what you imagined?

And now think about the stormtrooper outfit, which has clearly created this caricature of what her body will be like in your head, which is going to be completely different to what her body is actually like...

You know what? I think I just answered my own question. Once the clothes come off, nothing else really matters, does it

oh, it all makes sense now.


Comment by Cibbuano

September 6th 2006 04:21
legal, I think you're missing the entire point altogether.

It's not that we think the girl is hot. No.

What guys like, is the idea that these are a couple of Imperial Stormtroopers who are soldiers in the Emperor's army. Maybe they've captured us on the Death Star, or they're looking for a couple of droids - it doesn't matter. As the hero, we awaken an irrepressible sexual awakening in them, and when the outfit comes off, they're consumed with lust for our geeky, scrawny bodies.

And, if you struggle to grasp that, Legal - I think you'll always struggle to understand the mentality of nearly any guy, aged 21-35!

Judging from the sheer volume of people coming to this post, there must be a lot of guys out there with the same fantasy!





Comment by Dan

Hey Legally,

do you think that any of us guys actually think we're gonna get in bed with one of these femtroopers? Of course not.

It's all about fantasy. You can't tell me that if you see a picture of an incredibly attractive male actor, that you'd actually even think you had a real chance with him do you? It's all in the fantasy of the character of a femtrooper, as Cibbuano has pointed out above.

Who cares if the woman's body underneath the pearly white armour is, in fact, a sack of beans. We, as viewers of these images, do not know that, and never will.

They dont look anywhere near as silly as Britney Spears, kylie Minogue, Madonna, Paris Hilton etc....now thats a look that makes girls semi retarded look even stupider..

Comment by Cibbuano

September 6th 2006 07:59
legal, they do look silly, but, to us guys, The Backstreet Boys, NSync, Orlando Bloom and Fabio all look pretty silly.


Comment by Dan

September 6th 2006 08:15
Hehe nice one Cibbuano. Orlando Bloom is agreat example. How could so many girls be attracted to an elf? haha. It's the same thing as a femtrooper.

They are part of a star wars costuming fan club called the 501st legion. They and many more just like them dress up in costumes and armor for fun and for the fans.

A few of the guys have admirably made attempts to explains the appeal.

Let me try.

GIRLS IN STORMTROOPER UNIFORMS ... COOL

It is like catching a glimpse into the handbag of a fine looking women and seeing that she has a set of roleplaying dice.

Geekness is not a male only domain but it comes close at times.

True Geek Chicks are a rare commodity and we love and cherish everyone of them.

Same reason we like www.leiasmetalbikini.com

This post seem a bit dead so I thought I'd bump it with a piece of relevant news.

Since I can't convince my g/f wear a femme trooper costume for trooping events, I've decided to make a life-size femme trooper statue.

Why you ask?

Just like sculptors through the ages sculpted the female form in various interpretations, a lot of which are so perfect no real woman can come close to it, the femme trooper is an ideal all Star Wars fans (male at least) find fascinating and are drawn to.

Now if only I can afford a Real Doll body to fit the armor over LOL!

StarWarsGeek, this is an old post.

If you DO successfully make a uniform for a real doll, please send me a link to the photo! That sounds brilliantly hilarious!

"But they look so silly!! Are boys really so easily pleased??"

Are you really that inexperienced with them? Would it somehow please you more if "boys" were artificially difficult to please, like apparently you are?

I dunno about everyone else... but I personally have always sort of connected with the antihero or villain more than the heroes. Especially with Star Wars. And as a writer... I see a woman in a Storm Trooper uniform... and I don't actually think sex... (not initially anyway)... instead I see a woman... widely consifered to be frail and kind compared to the brutish male, waist deep in the slime and swamp muck of Dagobah...
Or spattered in blood from firing her blaster carbine into a rampaging wookie at close range... I see the contrast of hard armor against soft pale skin. I see how someone of soft skin... dons a second... harder, firmer and more resilient white flesh as if hiding herself inside... I see a pirate or rebel or whatever... getting ahold of a suit of Storm Trooper armor and modifying it to look as it does in the pictures, as a double blow to the Empire (not only did I kill one of you... but I cut his armor to show off these huge tits... and you're next... I'll make -your- armor into a toilet)... and then... I think of her in that black body glove..........

And then I think about what it would take to make a specially trained member of the Imperial Militia scream... anal perhaps? Heh heh...

The point is... there are many more reasons than just 'uh cause it's hot'... and guys can blow it off with simple answers if they want... the truth is... it's easier for us to connect with a woman wearing battle armor and wielding a huge fucking gun than it is for us to connect with a girl prancing around in pretty jewelry and such. Men make war. It's what we do... seeing a woman with a similar bent spurs some sort of connection between the two... and it pleases us.

As long as women continue to assume that men are simple and only after one thing... the further they grow from understanding us.

As long as men continue to focus on their desire rather than the reason behind it... the further we alienate women from us.

That's my theory anyway.
