Depends.  I personally find less enjoyment in beefcake artwork then I do in 
cheesecake.

And then there is the fact that he is often depicted with his badge pinned 
to his chest.  It has to be his chest - since he never wears a shirt.

By your standards.

There are some folks who may be offended by the inclusion of 
self-mutilation.  Ballad's badge and all that.

And why is the Muties, Monsters and Misfits monster a Sad "Sister" who 
wanders around crying all the time.  There it is, another stereotype - it's 
the woman who is crying.

And then there is the whole Christian thing. . .

I don't have my books with me currently, but if you like I can go through 
with a fine tooth comb and find all sort of things that some people might 
be offended with.

Heck - that it's a Role Playing Game in a make-believe world - is simply 
offensive to some.

I understand that you are just expressing your opinion, and it is as valid 
as anyone else's . . . but have you read the adventure yet?
