Sex is what makes her bad as a character? You would rather her be plain, docile and powerless than sexy? Why hasn't anyone spoken up in defense of Peach?
Having her designed solely around sex makes her bad as a character, particularly when in the context of a medium that does this over and over. It's also bizarre that the variation you go to instead of "absurdly proportioned and dressed" somehow means "plain, docile and powerless". Here, have a stylistic and not terrible design that is certainly not plain, docile or powerless:
But she's NOT designed SOLELY around sex. It's not like she's just sitting there being sexy; she's flinging magic around, she's one of the heroes of the game...
Everyone is getting so up in arms about the Sorceress, that she's a bad representation of women, but then there's the docile, powerless and plain Peach who needs to be rescued again and again and again, because she's stupid enough to be kidnapped again and again and again... and everyone's FINE with that?! SHE'S more of a bad example of women in gaming than the POWERFUL, KICK-ASS Sorceress! That was my point! The Sorceress is almost a POSITIVE example of a woman in a game, except for the fact that she's "sexy"...

Equality in design here would be a male not designed to be a hulking warrior of death, but to be designed as a sexual object for women.
The metal gear solid scene not only has the camera behind Snake's arse, but it's behind Snake's arse while he's having sex with the ninja.
I thought you were asking for the male butt equivalent of the X-Blades girl.
