Why does this have to be ONLY about eye-candy for male audiences? You'd have to apply the same principles to all sorts of media, the TV shows, movies, plays, etc. Plus in our Western culture, you can't just apply that to eye candy for males only. Why couldn't that be eye candy for females? I'm not trying to pick an argument, I respect you opinion/views, but there is so much more depth to labeling something because of the role what was designed for a specific character, in a specific game, for a specific reason.
And the director would have been told to go smurf himself and the woman would have stormed out of the studio.

Explain to me how Cidney's role somehow changes or diminishes from being able to wear pants and not have her tits hanging out for everyone to see? What is the purpose of her outfit as it is now other than the bleeding obvious?
