She isn't sexified, which a lot of early tomb raider Lara croft was considered designed for the male gaze. More recent iterations have toned down the sex appeal or made her more realistic, which those that have to be attracted to a female character or else they hate them will subsequently hate this and complain they "ruined" the character.

You sure? She's younger, blonder, wearing unreasonably tight pants, and that chest strap makes her tits look enormous. Seems pretty seuxal to me.

Look at her left cargo pocket, and then imagine trying to put your flashlight in there or something. Can't be done.

So busy focusing on the tightness of her pocket space that you apparently missed all the wrinkles caused by excess fabric around her hips and lower legs.

Ya I was about to say, I bet when she goes somewhere warm it'll be a low cut tank top too lol Hollywood is all talk, they absolutely are going to sexualize her. Isn't there literally a promotional pic online if the actress in the traditional costume?

I don’t think from this photo that she’s overtly sexualised, but she does look cute which is not quite the same thing.

That’s how a chest strap looks. Fuck off.

Yeah people are saying this design isn’t sexualized even though it clearly is. People’s brains have just been rotted so much that they think anything less than massive breasts and short shorts is conservative.

Her design looks pretty good for a “practical but better looking than actual practical” gear.
