Wow, this thread really exploded since I last looked at it. 
To clarify my original post, I personally don't like the sheer volume of miqo'te females being portrayed in a highly sexualized light due to how it muddies the concept of the race as explained in other lore sources -- but that is the lore the game presents, so we have to have our characters react accordingly. We don't get to pick and choose which lore we like and which we don't.
That said, my character, based on her upbringing and other life events, happens to very strongly dislike miqo'te characters who she feels are hypersexualized or "degrading" the race. That's an IC opinion that has nothing to do with OOC, and I as a player am acutely aware of the potential IC consequences of this stance, how it's outside the norm, and how much of a judgmental jerk she's being. FWIW, I also have an elezen character who happens to enjoy using his money to have miqo'te women fawn over him and share his bed.
