On one hand, Lara Croft can be seen in a reactionary manner due to the fact she is heavily sexualised. This is supported by her positioning on the cover and her physique. On the other hand, she can be viewed radically as she is standing boldly and carries weapons that a male would typically hold. Although she has enhanced breasts and a small waist, she also has strong arms, emphasizing her masculinity. Therefore, she challenges both reactionary and radical responses as arguably she can be placed as both masculine and feminine.
