How is it vague? It's basically asking developers to think about how genders and gender traits are depicted in their game. And if it's necessary to depict then in that way.

Give me an example of a game that is blatant about old-fashioned gender roles (and isnt being a reflection of the time period, like RDR).

These aren't at all what they mean though. It's but about easy modes. It's more along the lines of creating female characters that people want to play just as much as male characters.

If were talking char creators, I feel like this is more skewed in favor of female characters anyway, since they tend to have way more variety and options compared to males.

Women can still dress skimpy. They're just saying to make sure that it makes sense for the character. If you're making a battle hardened knight that protects people from monsters and bandits, then it doesn't make sense having the woman wear a metal bikini while her male counterparts wear full suits of armor.

Fire Emblem Engage is a good example of this. There are characters that dress skimpy, but their female knights, who are supposed to have good defense, still have full armor. Because it makes sense for that characters.

I mean, Stellar Blade is technically already following that suggestion then. The skimpy option comes with zero defense, so players are naturally penalized for using it for the sake of horny. Which is fine.
