Being disrespectful and discriminating against women is only one opinion. I personally find it empowering to see women that can achieve "tough" without giving up feminine or sexy. It's like having cake and eating it too.
If the female warriors all looked like Brianne (sp?) of Tarth, I would actually find that more offensive. It would be similar to invalidating women like Danika Patrick, who not only compete head to head in men's sports, but have the versatility to pose for magazines. Dialing Valla down or making the female warriors more mannish would relegate all the "hot" women in the game to supporting roles. No thanks.
I'm probably biased, as an ex-Marine. I liked shooting guns, and outscoring men on the rifle range. I liked making it look good too.
