I think some of us are getting carried away with a notion of over-realism in this game to authenticate it. Personally, I think L&P gets it mainly right.
In true RL, reality is habitually routine, repetitive and dull. L&P also realises this. Hell, we even get complaints of,
"Who wants to see Sophia brushing her teeth?". Answer, because they'd rather get instant fap.
Well, what IS it that AWAM fans want? With L&P you get both (to a degree!) as he tries to draw a balance, albeit it painfully slowly, but let's not go there again....
Many of us enjoy reading stories, watching dramas etc. precisely because they include a large element of fantasy, shock and suspense that stimulate the senses. We certainly wouldn't be drawn to stories that document every-day norm unless drawn to non-fiction, doing some analysis, or historical research.
AWAM is no different. It's a picture-book erotic novel.
Now the outfit that's causing controversy.
Sophia's outfit choice for the Aiden meeting may not fit into everyones idea of real life, but actually it's not as short or arguably sexy as the the little blue number worn out that time after shopping with Alyssa, which practically had her boobs falling out in front. I don't particularly like this new outfit either, but would I rather see her in some frump outfit and flats?
Of course Sophia has a choice to wear what she wants, for whatever reason (as many women with nice figures do), dressing up, or down. Women do so for themselves, or to attract attention from guys or other women, sometimes even for their husbands!
But remember, while dressing up might make a woman more vulnerable in certain situations, on the flip side she can also inherit a large degree of power and authority, especially over men. Yes, many of us still live in societies when you can admire, but NOT touch. NOR does dressing sexily imply a woman is a slut, ffs.
Some of us might recall the 1980's and 90's when many women dressed sharply and sexily in outfits known as "power suits", precisely to exert authority and "girl-power" in social or corporate environments.
Regards dress sense and keeping a healthy figure, the RL "norm" seen these days in western society is mainly excess, ease of fit and corpulence. But if that's what you want fine, it isn't what I want.
