Either way, I find that displaying female chars as "fidgeting" and/or "acting like little girls to be cute" is demeaning.
Again, if this is an in-game image and they routinely stand like that instead of the foursquare stance of the male. If it's just promo art like the rest of the stuff in this thread, then whatever.
I understand seeing adult females in this pose to be possibly demeaning because it's a deliberate act. But, if it's done in a context where the girl is about 10, I just don't see it that way. Hell, the girls in Pokemon do it and they are all about 12. If they were 18-20, then I would see it as being an overtly sexual thing and totally agree with you.
