Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

Still, Jessica is well written, and an important part of the movie story. Particularly when we realize everything she did in the movie was because she genuinely loved her husband:

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.

Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.

Where did Kamala Harris learn how to change positions so quickly? Did she learn it from working in the world's oldest profession?

Let's be honest, her entire character is the epitome of the sexy pinup girl that Hollywood has pushed on us for generations.

How a character is written and how a character is drawn are two different things, and usually the product of two (or more) different people.

One of my favorite examples, Jessica Rabbit:

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

So I have to wonder what you mean by “fanservice-y”?

Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.
