Sara's Costume Codex series does a thoughtful, sex positive critique of 7 of 9's costume in Voyager. Focusing on whether it suits her character, or the show's themes, or contributes to its worldbuilding;
"It's not great to be objectifying anybody. Unless of course it serves the story. I don't think there's a clear line here. More of a spectrum, as with most things."

"I think the question we need to ask ourselves is;
Is the sexiness coming from the character, the person that the actors and filmmakers are creating for us? Or are we seeing a person that we find attractive or visually appealing? Or are we seeing a body, and then remembering afterwards that that is a person, inside?
I think that's definitely true in life, and also in film and TV as well. But of course, it all depends on whether the sexiness serves the story."
