That said, I give the same eyeroll to big burly muscle men power fantasy statues, too. I mean, isn't Masters of the Universe is just a Chippendales calendar with swords and laser guns?

My observation wasn't at all aimed at you, or intended to represent everyone that likes Cammy's design. Nor was it even a straight line indictment of what most fighting-game enthusiasts might recognize as not a huge departure from what we've seen from Cammy-based media - although, this shit is definitely much more straight thong than risque unitard. What I was getting at was a question regarding hypersexual imagery shaping the wants of the viewer creating a superficial voyeuristic value vs the actual healthy experience of sensuality. I've been, as have most Americans, routinely inundated with these types of overtly sexual images, while living in a society with puritanical roots that's afraid to show nudity on public TV (regardless of the context) and chastises women for breast feeding in public. It's a very strange dichotomy and a schism worth exploring, even here on a toysite, especially when wares like this one are pretty ubiquitous.

While I fit the demo and am, admittedly, securely a breast man in my preferences, I won't presume to speak categorically about the ways in which other males/females (cis or otherwise) objectify bodies or statues of them. To each their own. I also agree with you that hulking men represent objectification too and I've said for years that it would've been hilarious if Tomonobu Itagaki had introduced hung-male crotch physics along with breast physics for DOA. Goose and gander, right?
