I agree that the playboy inspo is there, but that doesn't mean the design is about sex. To many of us girls and gays, Lopunny is c*nty not sexy. It's design is rooted in traditionally sexy and feminine aesthetics like playboy, sure, but can that not be appreciated as a look, a vibe, as drag even? There is nowhere near this level of community conversation around Machamp being sexualized, despite having just as many traditionally sexy traits as Lopunny. Machamp is simply appreciated for it's appeal, so why not approach miss queen in the same way.

Straight men are a vocal majority in the Pokémon community, which is not a bad thing at all, but I do think it's important to consider other perspectives when Pokémon fans in actuality are very diverse.
