I agree that some of the armor mods mentioned are pretty ridiculous, going beyond simply "unrealistic". It really is a case of, "Who the hell would fight...in THAT?? Why even bother putting on armor at all?".
I am personally not offended by the existence of such mods. I do wish that the ratio was tilted much more in favor of lore-friendly items and I find that frustrating when shopping for new outfits and nifty armors. But skimpy/provocative items are not inherently offensive to me on any sort of moral basis. They're more of an inconvenience in that they rob potential space/energy from more useful things.
I will readily admit that some of the more lore-unfriendly things like sailor fukus are things I have downloaded and enjoyed, mainly because they're flat out silly. I like having goofy fun with my Skyrim. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for me it's hilarious. I agree that the "anime" mods are by and large rather strange/awful. But again, their existence isn't offensive to me.
I suppose all of this rambling is to say that I agree with the general premise that more lore-friendly mods would be preferable to non. But I do have fun with the superfluous. That does not, however, include some of the things I've seen linked here, such as topless, basically non-existent armor travesties. To those, I raise a cold glass of WTF.
