I'm not speaking to the author's intent. I'm speaking to how most women would interpret this. Most women would look at art of the sorceress, and see it as the statement, "Big boobs are what's desirable in women."
I don't know if that's how the artist feels. But it's what most women would probably think looking at the art. And the more they see messages like this, the more it weighs on them. Hence why so many girls get implants now.
You should stop assuming to know how "most women" feel about things, and why they do the things they do.
You don't. I doubt anyone does possess such knowledge and broad and overt generalizations do nothing to get your point across.
You should also probably make some effort to actually validate the statement that these things "send the message". How do they send these messages? What in particular reduces the image of this character and condenses it into some subliminal message that demeans any just about woman that comes in contact with it?
Honestly if someone sees an attractive woman and her sexual characteristics are some how emphasized in any way and that person automatically sees that woman as just a pair of breasts or an ass, then that seems to be a personal fault on behalf of that person in particular, and they shouldn't assume that everyone else is feeling the same. One would expect that any rational mind would figure that people liking these things and presenting them in media doesn't automatically mean that everyone expects everyone to share the same qualities as that thing. It's kind of an impossible thing.
