The design is clearly intended to appeal the sexual drive (the cut on the leg, the laces around the legs, among other things). If you have seen some movies, you will see that is reflects the typical attire of concubines in the arabian/turkish/egyptian ancient times. They both delved into bellydancing and courting. Going around the streets in that attire was considered indecent (it still is, in those countries), and as such attributed to traders of sex (which again did include bellydancing. most of bellydancers ended the day with their customers in bed).
I'm not sure why the negative reaction to that, however.

I do agree it looks similar to a Naginata, but the posture of that model induces to me think that's a great sword, so... DRK, I guess.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
