As much as I agree with you, some people just can't pass up the opportunity for some eye candy. It's fan-service pure and simple on BW's part and I'm sure the men/lesbians appreiciate it.

That would be hil~arious. We already have some invisible orange gear for that, now all we need are some slave-boy loincloths!
Oops, sorry for that disturbing mental image. xD
