Here we go...
She is about as good representation of women as Nathan Drake is of men. A strong, intelligent person that loves her/his friends and with an objective (usually to save the world). The sex part is in your head. That is what upsets me about the whole discussion when a reviewer brings these things to the forefront. Its in your head, not on mine. I happen to see the good in people. Bayonetta is a dark heroine that loves her friend and saves the world. How is this a bad representation of women? The sexist way would say that women just go at each others throats whenever they can. More accurate? Perhaps, but its not what the game is representing.
Oh and btw... Bayonetta was created by a woman.

Here we go indeed...
The sex part is in my head? That would be because the camera is constantly staring at her crotch. How would you feel if most of the time the camera was staring at the massive bulge in Nathan Drake's pants? Would you feel that he's just in control of his sexuality? Or would you feel the director of the game is just being perverse because they are deriving sexual pleasure from the erection and feel their market would as well?
Perhaps we should applaud porn stars for owning their sexuality too? Many of them constantly moan about how badly they want it. Only of course they don't, they're being told what to say by a usually male director. Exactly as Bayonetta is.
She was not created by a woman. Nice try though. She is created by Kamiya who is the definition of a sexist pig. Talking about her like she has feelings and her own emotions is absurd because she is a video game character who is directed in her actions by a male to appeal to a male audience. And yes her model was worked on by a female... so what, females can be sexist too.

They dont do that on Uncharted because then it would be deemed as gay. Maybe i should point at Kratos from God of War? He wears almost nothing the whole game, barechested throughout the whole game. No problem there? Conveniently forgotten.
The game sugests but what you make of it is in your head. If by seeing a woman gallop on a horse from behind equals sex in your mind, its because you think it so. There is no sex there. That is one of the reasons why the game is so great. It sugests so you can feel a response, but it never forces you to do it. Its your choice and its in your head. You arent a character in the Bayonetta world.
You are mistaken about the creation aswell, she was created by Mari Shimazaki. She was created to be the model of a strong and confident woman, wich she most certainly is. Also, i will not accept what is a biased opinion as any sort of proof. You said she is the model of some male japanese fetish, but that is just not possible because it was a woman that designed her. Are you gonna say Hideki went into her head and made her drawn that exact character for her? Seriously...
