If you want an example of male sexuality without them being naked, take Superman for an example.

Are we just ignoring the fact that a 5 year old shouldn't be playing a game about wanton/gleeful murder?
I'd take more issue with her attire being the cause for such a pose to result in a 'sexy' appeal. Other characters in the game have that exact same pose, and it doesn't sexualize them whatsoever. However, Tracer's skin-tight pants have created a situation where a harmless pose (It's literally just a character looking over his/her shoulder) has accentuated her posterior features.
This seems like the kind of thing that should have been an issue when the character was initially shown to be wearing skin-tight pants. It's almost as though people suddenly realized "Oh hey, that character is wearing tight clothing" and want to blame it on the pose that brought that little fact to light.
I love how people complain about this kind of stuff in a game, yet they probably 'liked' every girl doing duck faces and cleavage shots on their facebook, whilst probably under the WoW's age rating
Ok, fair enough.
I think the way they communicated this both initially and in followup is what makes this seem like 'an issue'. I think the issue is twofold in reality, one that it's really lame and lazy (which they likely know, since they copied it to other heroes) and two, that it's just showing you her butt in a really weird, neck breaking model pose which is out of character, but also misconstrued to 'people' as sexy. I think the failing in being lame and not fully embodying her character is what gives room to criticize the pose's supposed sexuality. Does that make sense? It was their job to make sure there was no misunderstanding by designing the best pose possible from the get go.
B/c it doesn't clearly define who she is, it leaves room for other people to interpret it with whatever they see...and that thing they see is a skintight, leather clad glute show.
Unfortunately, yes...that's the case.

We should ban women from looking over their shoulders at men behind them, it's too sexual. Hell we should craft neck braces for all women so they can't turn their heads and pass laws that men can never be behind a woman to avoid this over sexualization.
