Why did Riot take a sexist approach to Sejuani's VU?

Sejuani wearing less clothing was a testament to her strength and will in braving the Freljord frost. So why was she covered up? All that is missing is a burka.

Tryndamere doesn't wear a shirt to protect from the cold, and Braum (who was released after Sejuani was covered) doesn't wear one either. Is Riot suggesting that women are not as tough or capable as men?

Seems quite the strange stance to take for a company that prides itself on diversity and equality as they continue to not release female champs and cover them up as much as possible. One could say that it's pretty sexist.

Because idiots complain that all the female champions in this game are sexualized. Which is just stupid an untrue. Less than half are.

Because here at riot games, we would never ever think to objectify women. So we decided to nerf all our artists when it comes to ladys. Just look at kalista and rek sai. Does that look sexy to you? No? Same for us, but it keeps the women quiet. Oh and men can't be objectified. Braum having 16 pack abs with no shirt is just part of his personality :)

Maybe because the entire "Conan the Barbarian sexy bae" concept was a bit overused and old and, quiet frankly not exactly very original?

The key difference between Sejuani and Braum/tryndamere is that Sejuani doesn't have muscles.Braum and Tryndamere still look like they can take a beating because of their muscle mass,while Sejuani didn't. They did consider giving Sejuani more muscles,but decided that,that would be too different from her original look.
