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

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

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:

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

What are the advantages of using plastic straws over metal or glass straws when drinking carbonated beverages? Is there a noticeable difference in taste?

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

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.

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