Well, I mean, yeah. If it's a fully fleshed out character, well written as a human being before "woman", then the character acting sensually is not really a problem, because it's believable. Whereas if the character isn't well-written, and just seems there for the purpose of being sexual for the enjoyment of the audience, then that is obnoxious. What's the problem here?

And I will say it can be very dependent on how the character is portrayed sensually. Are there gratuitous scenes of her being naked that aren't really necessary? Does the camera lovingly slide up her every curve? Does it seem like the character is being sexual for the audience, rather than the character being sexual to someone she is flirting with?

I'm not saying there aren't Tumblrinas who are inconsistent with their opinions, but that doesn't mean criticizing unnecessary sexualization of female characters (especially when male characters aren't treated that way) is invalid.
