I don't think it's that sexual of a pose, just a common one when trying to design poses. On the other hand it isn't very creative and when the team was already working on another pose I don't mind if this OK one is replaced. I think the bigger issue for some is what they see as the downplaying of any sexuality, in a time when people try to avoid it heavily already. I think this is a terrible example of that since it really was something already planned, and it's a damn pose. It's not affecting gameplay and it's only significant since it brings up conversations about sexuality. But this barely sexual, non-original pose shouldn't really be an issue for anyone, whether it's kept OR replaced. The best argument I see is still that it's being replaced with something that shows off more personality, not that it's sexual or not or whatever.
Woah, didn't expect this. The action didn't look great, but remembering Alan Wake and Max Payne, remedy usually is able to wrap it's mediocre to OK-ish combat in interesting mystery and characters. Sad that it seems like it failed on that end too, though I'd like to see how others came away from this.
