Let me start this off by saying I'm not at all oblivious to the over-sexualisation of female characters in a lot of video games, films and comics. There is a lot of valid criticism surrounding the outfits of Soul Calibur's Ivy and DC Comics' Power Girl.
I don't really feel in that great a position to comment on when it wanders into ridiculous territory, but I'm fairly certain something like Dead or Alive Beach Vollyball qualifies. I'm not here to enter the debate about the recently released full render of Metal Gear Solid V's character, Quiet, but I'm a bit perplexed by the discourse surrounding it.

Bioshock Infinite Makes Me Learn
As I made my way through interactive historical marvels, walked
along marble floors listening to voxophones and stopped occasionally at the
nearest kinetoscope to delve into the rich history of Columbia, I realised that
Bioshock Infinite is the best museum
experience I have ever had. I was learning, and it was fun – something was
horribly wrong with me.
I’ve been to museums before, but this was something
completely different. There were no droning lectures - no gentle, defeated
murmurs coming from the hungover employees; there wasn't even a single
stegosaurus in sight. I was being led through the long halls of a fictional,
historical knowledge and was surprised at how much I was enjoying myself.
