I think it’s complicated. While i believe that fanservice in and of itself is harmless, and of course as a hot blooded young male, I love seeing ass and tiddies on my screen. in some cases, even, the fanservice can actively uplift a character! For example, the formerly shunned and despised goonbait Jane Doe. Her design is incredibly—and more importantly, fittingly—sexy. Shes hot. She knows she’s hot. She *should* be hot, and act hot. And her sensuality was expressed properly, with fitting attire that managed to be revealing without detracting from the design overall. Unfortunately, a lot of this is lost with newer characters. Even ignoring the recycling of outfits and design formulas that are apparent with newer units, a large majority of them are sexy simply for the sake of being sexy. Which, again, on its own, isn’t a bad thing. The issue rises from the fact that the way in which this sexiness is presented tends to actively take away from the character design. Why is remielle walking around in lingerie? Why does Velina basically have her panties out? Why is Norma in a short tight dress with thigh high stockings and high heels? etc etc. Tl;dr I don’t really mind fan-service nor do I think by itself it’s a negative—i think the issue stems from character design, and the fanservice being prioritized over it, if that makes sense.
