Line 44:
* In the anime version of ''[[Senran Kagura]]'', Katsuragi is a girl with little shame or modesty at all. Often a blatant exhibitionist, her clothing designed to show off as much of her ample bosom as possible. Her habit of fondling and groping the other female protagonists only enhances the "shameless" part.
* Mt. Lady and Midnight in ''[[My Hero Academia]]'', two pro-heroines who not only have the [[Most Common Superpower]], but are of the [[Attention Whore|"if you've got it, flaunt it"]] mode of thought. Mt. Lady isn't above using her "assets" to to persuade vendors to give her freebies, and Midnight's original costume was ''so'' skimpy that the government actually passed new laws regarding how much skin a hero's costume could show!
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
** Robin often wears clothing that includes a short skirt, fishnet stockings, knee-high boots, garter belts, large amounts of cleavage, and a bare midriff, regarding all of it as casual wear. Possibly simply a sign of better self-confidence since Enies Lobby arc, but still someone who seems to want to be notices.
** Nami even more so. She usually doesn't flaunt it, but clearly doesn't care if anyone gawks.

Line 65 ⟶ 68:
* In ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13th]]'', the late Brenda Jones suggested that she, Bill and Alice play [[Strip Poker|Strip Monopoly]]. After Brenda remembered that she left her cabin windows open during a storm, she prematurely ended the game and heads out. Instead of putting her clothes back on, Brenda stays in [[Lingerie Scene|her bra and panties]] and puts on a raincoat.
* In ''[[Horrible Bosses]]'', Dr Julia Harris has no shame or decency whatsoever, she's an exhibitionist whose ideal of appropriate dental office attire is an [[Absolute Cleavage|unbuttoned lab coat]] with [[Vapor Wear|nothing underneath]].
* Tinkerbell. Yes, that would be Tinkerbell from the [[Disney]] version of ''[[Peter Pan]]''. Watch the movie with that in mind and focus on the character closely and ''then'' try to deny it. Better yet, watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCEU6t9jZY this]. Julia Roberts' version in ''[[Hook]]'' seemed to have more modesty, but still showed quite a bit of leg for a supposedly-innocent fairy.
* [[Angelina Jolie]]'s version of Lara Croft from the film version of ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' is as bad as the video game version in this regard.
* Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in ''[[Batman Returns]]'' is more than a little insane, and uses the skintight cat-suit as a means to show a long-repressed sensual and violent side of Selina Kyle.
Line 87 ⟶ 90:
* In ''[[The Witcher]]'' franchise, succubi are always dressed provocatively and are often topless, seeing how they are tempters by nature.
* Felicia from ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' seems to have no modesty at all as a fighter, her skimpy "costume" actually being strategically-grown fur that gives the illusion of a scant bikini. While one could argue this was due to instinct (she's clearly not human) she seems to at least know when such a look is inappropriate, wearing a nun's habit while tending to children in her orphanage.<ref>From her ending in ''Darkstalkers 3''</ref>
* The Amazon in ''[[Dragon's Crown]]'' is a [[Nubile Savage]] in a [[Chainmail Bikini]]. Ironically, however, she has more dignity than other members of her tribe, as they rarely wear more than the belts needed to carry their weapons and equipment, the NPC art showing them using the weapons themselves as a [[Scenery Censor]].
* ''Every single character'' (both Heel ''and'' Face wrestlers) in ''[[Rumble Roses]]'' has no shame whatsoever, even by pro wrestling diva standards. [[Sex Sells|That was obviously what Konami intended.]]
* Mad Moxxie from ''[[Borderlands]]'' takes this to [[Attention Whore]] levels, her showgirl-style outfit clearly chosen with the intent to show off her assets.
* Cammy from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series seems to be ''encouraging'' [[Male Gaze]] the way she ends a fight. Rainbow Mika is just as bad, but being a pro wrestling diva, she at least has that as an excuse.

* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'',
** A marilith is a six-armed demon with the lower torso of a snake and upper body of an attractive woman; they rarely wear much clothing other than jewelry on their upper half. Being high-ranking demon generals, they likely could have clothing custom made, so one could assume their reasoning is, any mortal foolish enough to gawk at them won't survive much longer.
** Also, both Glasya and Fierna (both Archdevils) qualify. The illustration of Glasya in the original ''Monster Manual II'' was naked, slyly covering her chest with her tail, whole illustrations of Fierna usually depict her scantily clad or nude. Justified, as both characters are [[Horny Devils|embodiments of Lust.]] The original stat block also gave Glasya 69 hp; very funny, Mr. Gygax.
** Some actual goddesses seem to have the same attitude (and lack of dignity) as mariliths. (Be warned, the following links are NSFW.) For many years it was a [[Running Gag]] among AD&D players that [[Evil Is Sexy| the Finnish goddess Loviatar]] got far more than her fair share of player character worshippers solely because of [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DJgVg1XpB64/R7pKcL4uhWI/AAAAAAAAAgg/U4EIIEwex_I/s1600-h/Loviatar.jpg her bare-breasted portrayal] in the 1980 ''Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia''. The Babylonian goddess [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/84512-.html Ishtar] came in a close second for having nipples visible through her top in one edition's image (and fully topless in [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/84939-Copyright%20Tsr,%20Deities%20And%20Demigods,%20Dungeons%20And%20Dragons,%20Retro%20Review.html another]). Not that all of these "goddess with no dignity" examples are [[Fanservice]], however. One can hopefully assume [https://www.blackgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bast1.gif Bast] didn't receive as much devotion despite equally bare breasts, as there weren't many horny teen boys in the 1980s into [[Catgirl]]s who were quite ''that'' much cat. And let's not even discuss [[Fan Disservice| the problems]] facing [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/85638-Copyright%20Tsr,%20Deities%20And%20Demigods,%20Dungeons%20And%20Dragons,%20Retro%20Review.html Blibdoolpoolp].
** While Lolth doesn't fit this Trope, lesser Drow goddesses sometimes do. In her original write-up for ''Monster Mythology'', Kiaransalee (goddess of death and vengeance) supposedly only wore silver chains upon her otherwise unclothed body; later versions, however, gave her more modesty. Eilistraee is always depicted as naked, with nudity representing the concept of Freedom, which she represents, her worshippers adopting the Trope as well, at least for rituals done in her name.
*** This also applies to most mortal drow females, the artwork showing them in [[Chainmail Bikini]]s and other fantasy-style [[Stripperific]] outfits often being 100% canon. As [[Social Darwinist]]s to the extreme [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|obsessed with perfection]], they ''love'' showing off their allegedly perfect curves to enemies and allies alike.
** No illustration of Verenestra (a goddess revered by nymphs, dryads, and sylphs) was provided in the original ''Monster Mythology'' splat book, but she is described as "wearing only gossamer garments the size of handkerchiefs to provide her with a semblance of modesty."
** Tieflings in the ''[[Planescape]]'' setting. There are plenty of male tieflings and plenty who are not attractive at all, but illustrations tend to suggest otherwise. Tieflings are often also portrayed as rebels and outcasts, so their risque and head-turning outfits could be seen as their way of defying social norms.

Line 111 ⟶ 121:
* The nudist Campbell family from ''[[Family Guy]]'' somehow go nude in public without more serious repercussions than their son getting bullied. They either ignore or fail to notice how disconcerting Peter and Lois initially find their nudity, and since nobody [[Please Put Some Clothes On|asks them politely to get dressed]], it's hard to tell which.
* The cast of ''[[Futurama]]'' tend to bounce around this. In some episodes, public nudity is completely normal, while in others, you can be arrested for streaking. Hilariously, the most common offender is ''[[Fan Disservice|Professor Farnsworth]]''.
* In ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'', Nora is a blantant exhibitionist, flashing her breasts to a crowd of people in an airport in one episode. You quickly start to realize just why Mr. Freeze was so obsessed with curing her...
== Real Life ==
* Several warm climate areas have nudist colonies and/or clothing optional beaches where pretty much ''everybody'' is pretty much in the buff and doesn't see a big deal about it.
** Hula dancers, however, are an Inversion, at least as far as history of that dance style is concerned. Know how they wear those coconut bras? A modern addition; before the 20th Century, most hula dancers were topless.
* Cindy Crawford has practiced casual toplessness, as shown by some [[Paparazzi|paparazzi photos of her]] [[Walking Swimsuit Scene|wearing a monokini]] at the beach and at the pool.
* It was [[Accidental Pun|revealed]] that Erin Andrews is one when she was [[The Peeping Tom|secretly videotaped]] by [[Stalker with a Crush|a stalker]] in two different hotel rooms. In her personal life, Ms. Andrews practices casual nudity and the video, which has since gone viral shows her ritual of ironing and curling her hair in the nude.
