    Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell’s Motoko Kusanagi

    I think the hypersexuality was something she chose to do when she didn’t have to be in uniform as a result of being fully cybernized as a young girl. We also know she is a virgin because of how the individual 11 virus affected her in the events of 2nd gig. I also think that because she can’t ever experience real physical sex and only the VR experience we see in the manga that it really did a number on her mentally, to the point where everyone around her seems to ignore the hypersexuality, almost like it’s some type of disability. Or maybe they just don’t care about how women dress in the future, either way, the hypersexuality seems like a conscious choice.

      I think for this franchise it’s usefull to distinguish between the Manga and the Animes/Films (or at the very least the first 2 Films). While you description is quite fitting for the Kusanagi depicted in the Manga, the Film version of her is (afaict) conceptually beyond sexualisation. In the film Gots1 the scene on the boat or at the conclusion of the fight in the basin her disregard to her baked body is explicitly put in contrast to the rection from Batou. Even her merging with the puppetmaster while in a sense sexual is not treated as such and is rather depicted as a Mental Exchange of Ideas and an ascension from their current forms.
