Perhaps, though I am not sure I fully agree?
I will admit the butt waggle when sprinting is a tiny bit distracting but I don't really get how the character is overly sexualized outside of maybe the butt waggling with the sprint. Even then it comes off more cutesy to me than sexual in nature.
I know you say your suggestion is "valid" but you never really point out what exactly you see so "sexual" about the character. Perhaps adding a bit of specificity to what you find overly sexual?
Honestly, I really love the character's design personally and aside from that small bit of animation (Which, in my opinion isn't an issue) I am just not seeing it as sexual.
Had to take another look, but I agree with you on this. The run wiggle seems more cute than sexy, although I will say she does come off bottom heavy. I feel that would be better fixed by simply adding mid-section armor for balance. Maybe more detail on the leg joints, since it looks like she's running around in bulky thigh boots.
"Like to look at, or be able to ignore"? are you saying you don't like her but cant stop staring?
Anyways, I don't find her a problem at all. Sure, I appreciated her "assets" for a solid 30 seconds, but I was able to just play the game without noticing afterward.
I'll upload my unedited Stream vod later so you can see for yourself just how much it "distracts" during a playthrough Mr Dev.
