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

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.

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

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:

Why do Trumpers and MAGA Republicans care who is trans and who is gay ECT? If they didn't have a personal interest in transgenderism it shouldn't matter so much then, right?

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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

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

Do you suck dicks with no reciprocation?

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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