Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

So I have to wonder what you mean by “fanservice-y”?

Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.

How a character is written and how a character is drawn are two different things, and usually the product of two (or more) different people.

I caught my neighbor leaving his 12-year-old son home alone and he has not come back in 6 hours. Should I call CPS?

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.

Why do I get bored with porn so quickly? I can watch maybe half a video (5 mins max) and then get bored and do something else. I don't watch porn often, just a teenager. 17.
