To nude or not to nude
I largely agree with the fourth option in the poll. Most villains, and presumably many SHIB fans, feel that the costuming is important. For superheroes, the costume is the identity, to a large extent. The villains are interested in HeroineX as HeroineX, and not PlainJaneWhoozis. They can get some mileage out of an unmasking, but ultimately any hero-villain conflict is between the costumed identities and not the people behind the costumes. The SHIB thing is about the costumes, on one level, but also about that conflict between costumed adversaries and what they could do to one another.
I think jumping from the importance of the costume all the way to a "no nudity, ever!" conclusion goes a bit far. Partial costuming is an interesting approach. This can be tricky in a lower-budget SHIB production, presumably, because it might mean either destroying a costume in the course of the video or specially designing a costume to be removed in pieces. A Batgirl, Supergirl, or Wonder Woman costume might be able to be designed to separate the top and bottom portions, in at least some designs. That wouldn't work in every case. A heroine with a spandex bodysuit, a Spider-Woman or Hellcat, most of those Marvel characters and similar designs, would present difficulties in hiding a seam, join, or zipper in a costume. At any rate, I would prefer a partial nudity option.

I don't mind nudity in a video but its not really needed.Of course what would you do if you have a gorgeous superheroine knocked out in front of you?You wouldn't have a little fun?
