I think it depends how chauvanistic your fanservice is, to be honest.

I don't think that putting an action girl in a costume like Kuroyukihime's weakens her or puts her down at all. On the other hand, you have stuff like Yui's photoshoot scene at the end of Total Eclipse's beach episode. Though I feel that in the grand scheme of things the impact on her character was minimal.

BTW, I think this rule applies to fanservice involving any female character, not just action girl types.
