Fine. And if what you want is an acknowledgement that you are technically correct, that there is in fact someone (indeed, apparently a handful of someones) who would want to cosplay that character, you already have it. Goal scored. Congratulations. You win the ribbon.
But the main point is not that there are absolutely zero such people. I am not writing a theorem. I am saying that there are two kinds of wish fulfillment characters in fantasy - those you want to be, and those you want to possess. The sorceress seems clearly in category two. I could be wrong, and testing it would take more time and effort than we have.
The boobs-and-butt pose is not just exaggerated. You can draw it with otherwise anatomically correct characters, although you have to snap their spines. The problem is that it's ridiculous and sexist. There is a meme entirely devoted to putting male characters in these same poses. The results are hilarious and disturbing. The same is *not* true of putting female characters in male poses. The way these characters are drawn, designed, posed and animated is deeply asymmetrical.

I try to let my actions speak for themselves. But sometimes, it's worth just admitting the truth. ;-)
