No, you can see that she’s leaning forward and arcing her back as well, so her ass sticks out. Compare and contrast with the picture Varrok posted.

When I said "bent over a few notches" I more so meant literally bent over. When I stand with a straight posture, my back arches too so I'm not really seeing a "sexy" correlation because her back's arched. I won't argue that she's not leaned forward at all though, because I honestly can't tell if she is or not. But I'll stand by the fact that I don't find it sexy, nor does it come off that way. But that's an entirely subjective stance. I still feel like this isn't something to be heated about (referring to the outcry on Blizzard forums, and the original "it's too sexzzzyyy 4 kids" post).
That particular picture of the male character in a similar stance isn't quite the equivalent of Tracers, imo, and isn't comparable. I feel like men
can be sexualized just as much as women in video games. They're always burly, buff and toned, which is the unrealistic representation of men. But tha'ts an unrealistic representation and not exactly sexualized.
If Blizzard was already thinking about removing the pose, they were most likely
waiting for the feedback. I believe the OG post (the one complaining about the pose) is a little ridiculous and overblown, but I don't see Blizzards removal as blasphemous.
