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

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

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

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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:

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

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

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

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.
