Personally, my character won't really get to use this but I don't see how everyone is drawing it out to be something intended for those with a lewd mind. I was one of the people under the impression that a lot of IG sexual references involved miqo'te and therefore felt that they were a race "picked on" a lot in that aspect, but this emote didn't give me even the slightest inkling of anything suggestive. I just don't see it.
Bikini aside, the miqo'te is being portrayed in the typical "cute and pretty" fashion while the lalafel is being portrayed as childlike by appearing absolutely exhausted. I draw that conclusion from many in-game mannerisms. I don't see anyone getting all annoyed about that race being portrayed in a cute and child-like fashion but when it comes to the miqo'te and the theme is slightly more towards the cute and teenage area suddenly it means something else.
As I've said, I believe miqo'te are the favoured face for such references but I do not believe this to be an example.
Let me tell you one thing. Where Square fills in for the Miqo'te, the players fill in for everyone else.
I find it amusing that the very player base that goes apeshit over sexy Miqo'te does its best to make sexy Roegadyn, Elezen, and Hyur characters and take pictures of them in bikinis and subligar.
And might I ask, when did sexy catgirls become a BAD THING?
