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

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

Still, Jessica is well written, and an important part of the movie story. Particularly when we realize everything she did in the movie was because she genuinely loved her husband:

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

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

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.

Are you already having anal sex?

Let's be honest, her entire character is the epitome of the sexy pinup girl that Hollywood has pushed on us for generations.

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.
