Quite, quite unbelievable

I take that all-American values include prick-teasing, lesbianism, BDSM, and bigamy? (Moulton, the creator of Wonder Woman, convinced two women to live with him permanently. He was a psychologist, God forgive him. At any rate, CG Jung had done the same thing earlier - selfish practitioners of psychology will sooner or later find people they can fit to their designs.) Wonder Woman as a character stinks on ice and always has, and as for suggesting that this skintight fuck-me outfit is the next step to a burqa, these people need glasses, that's all.

the character has been marketed as an all-American girl
Not always, bub. The first WW comic I read in English was a Giant-Size from about 1976, where the sexual and BD overtones were so obvious that I felt angry and cheated. I had intended, you see, to buy a superhero comic, not a porn (if I wanted any, there were plenty in Italian and cheaper, and one did not have to cross the city to go to the few newsstands that had American comics). I remember that one of the artists was Steve Ditko, whom I was later to find had quite a record in that area. I later found out that DC was going overboard with all sorts of sexual overtones at the time - think of the Legion's bikini "uniforms" - but WW certainly afforded them more chance for it than most.
