I woudn't say it's meant to be silly, but over the top in its presentation. It can definitely come off as silly though. When I said "Artistic specific" I mean on its own merits and intentions. But even if one makes that argument to defend Bayonetta, the issue of 'over-the-topness' still exists whether the original intention was to make it like that or not.
Leaving aside what is good or bad (because that is irrelevant), people will see this over-the-top style as an issue of style over substance.
That's not to say that it can't be enjoyed though.
The issue that came up in this case was more of density of the game regarding sex appeal. Like I said before though, I felt this was taken in the wrong direction from what the real issue is for Bayonetta (and over the top games like Bayonetta). It's just that the ridiculousness of the sex appeal in this is closer to reality (and thus relatable) than say using a gaint boot through a space-time warp to stomp your enemies to death.
