I find it very interesting how our society is hypersexualized to the point that porn stars are now mainstream and don't seem to have a stigma around them anymore but giving a woman breasts and curves is VERBOTEN.
It's this weird paradox of sex positivity. Real women (and trannies) can prance around in their underwear or stripper wear, but cartoons need to be dressed all the way up and must have their gendered characteristics muted or hidden. I can't really figure it out, maybe I'll write my dissertation on it.
That's because society is trying to auto-correct itself. Second-wave feminism tried to make sex, porn stars, and porn mainstream, and so prior to third-wave feminism, we saw a lot of sexy women all over media, not just adult media, but even kids' media like cartoons and video games, because it was considered empowering. Now third-wave feminism is trying to rein it in and make things less sexualized, because second-wave feminism's plan to sabotage the family structure with sleaze didn't work; it just made men horny and want to have wives and kids, so third-wave feminism is lashing out at the ''men of culture'' by trying to take away the sleaze because it just serves what they see as the ''neo-masculine hierarchy.'' At least, that's the first reason.
There is no paradox. The very existence of cartoon waifus devalues holes of real women. The would have banned porn if they could. Whether because porn is controlled by people not about to part with their big shekels or because outright porn is less of a threat than media with actual stories, demonstrating that it is possible for a female to not be completely awful, they go for cartoons instead.
That is the second reason. Hot animated waifus devalue real-world women, especially as real-world women become less feminine and are harder to maintain, whereas a cartoon waifu will always be with you, always at your side, she has a comfortable personality that you can get into, as opposed to real women who demand that you alter your personality to fit their expectations. The less power real-life pussy has in influencing men, the less power they have to bargain with men in real life. Feminists can't bargain with a man whose true love is Bastila Shan, Lara Croft, Samus Aran, Rangiku Matsumoto, or Android 18.
The third is, well, women are more prone to jealousy than men. When men see a buff dude in a video game, film, or cartoon, they feel like they should hit the gym; they're inspired by the sight and want to be just like Sylverster Stallone's Rambo, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan, He-Man, or Duke Nukem. Women see a sexy female in a video game, cartoon, or film, and they get jealous that a fictional woman is getting more attention than them, so they start mouthing off about stereotypes and how bad objectification is, as if they don't objectify men like Jacob in films like Twilight.
I have no idea how old she was supposed to be in this episode, but I think this outfit would be considered sexual for anyone to wear.

Again, that was because Lucas was still in charge, and he had no bones about putting female characters in revealing outfits. Either it's skintight spandex, tube-tops, or costumes like that. I'm not saying he sexualized every female character, but he was prone to doing it now and then.
If only Aayla Secura had been a better friend.
But she was. Those were stun shots going into her back during Order 66. Then later, Commander Bly and his men ran a train through her. Unfortunately for her, Palpatine was at the end of that train. =p
