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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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:

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

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

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

Why are most girls not open to the idea of anal sex?

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.

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