That still leaves us with the other situation though.

. . . Recap . . .
Dvveebo: [...] "The thing is that the [frog] lady disrobing in front of the protag isn't weird though. This exact scene is a consistently used one in various stories. Just remove the word [frog] from the narrative. People likely aren't going to get upset about a ' 'Frog' ' -Lady disrobing, because they don't see it as; A lady undressing in front of the main character. They're too distracted by the emphasis on the fact that she's a frog - before she's a woman. "
Commander_Ney0: [...] "There was really nothing sexual about the frog. It’s a frog. "
See... Not only are you proving a part of my point, but you're taking it further by trying to gloss over the fact that the character is female at all. Even going so far as to refer to her as an "It."
As such, you're seemingly giving the [nudity of a female character being depicted] - a pass.
(Which is what I expect most people to do. Which is what I imagine the writers were assuming would happen as well. Hence why I assume; sneaky writing. )
What you decide to permit as unimportant may actually be more so than you can know.
Are you aware of the Furry Fandom? How many people are? Many Americans I've observed who think poorly of the fandom can recall being disturbed by their ' 'Furry friends' ' from High School. Because Furries had been exposed to [Animal-based anthropomorphic characters] depicted in [potentially inappropriate] materials earlier in their lives (such events that they determined to be enjoyable) - they made social expressions of swapping Anthropomorphic Materials among friends depicting things akin to the disrobed Frog Lady. (If not worse... )
The deviation from species doesn't inherently stop all individuals from perceiving the material for what it is. (An intellectual removing their clothing in front of another.) Implications of an inappropriate theme for some audiences.
What sets the Frog Lady apart from a strictly a frog is that she has humanesque characteristics which qualifies her as an Anthro Character.
I can't see what the big deal is.
Chewbacca has been running around nearly naked since '77 and no one has had a problem with it.
Kanrei13: [...] "Chewbacca has been running around nearly naked since '77 and no one has had a problem with it."
Most wookies do run around in such a fashion.
Wookies' thick fur is both warm, somewhat protective, and concealing - to the point that they don't require Sweaters, etc. (Death by) Overheating would become a primary concern if they chose to cover themselves in the same way that species with (exposed/hairless) skin would. I'm sure other problems would occur (such as painful issues with zippers and velcro...) that would make clothing less favorable to the Wookie species - hypothetically...
The above demonstrates that Wookies lack of clothing is tolerated more, based on applicable real-world logic. And by the same logic, the [Frog] Lady requires her clothing much in the same way that a human female would.
((I'm sure somewhere out there, less audible / less noticed people might have had gripes with how Wookies (or more specifically Poor-Medal-less-Chewy) have/has been depicted but we should discuss more specifically concepts and situations pertaining to the happenings revolving around The Mandalorian. ))
