Imagine a woman takes a pic of herself looking like that and posts it on social media, then she complains that people are sexualizing her and her pic wasn't supposed to be porn. What would your response be?
These days women dress like this in public, so it's silly to argue that this is inappropriate. But it's also silly to argue that it's completely non sexual. Everyone seems to be arguing strictly along party lines where everything is either all evil or all innocent.
It's like with the nontroversy over the Delicious in Dungeon promo https://i.imgur.com/y5zxVUv.jpeg
Is that poster wildly inappropriate? No. But is it sexualized? Yes. Let's not pretend that a nicely proportioned woman lying languidly on the floor staring into your eyes expectantly does not activate a neuron or two. It's ok for characters to have sexual aspects to them, that's normal in fact. If you can't imagine a character in a relationship of some kind, it's probably not a good character. You don't have to pretend it's all pure or all corrupt.
