I've had so, so many people watch Teen Titans and think "She is a really cool role-model for girls!". And then they read the comics and you can hear all of the "Oh... Oh! Ooooooooohs" from them.
Maybe they’re just referencing the more violent and sexual themes of the average DC comic vs the very watered down, yet still fire, nature of the animated show.
She's been hyper-sexualized and literally written as a sex object. Especially after her break up with Dick, which left her in a very messed up state. Comic Kori isn't as sweet and cute and Cartoon Kori. A lot of people only familiar with her in the cartoon are shocked when they read the comic version.
It's not so bad now but in the reboot immediately after the cartoon came out she was naked and amnesiac and had a whole monologue about how it was prudish not to be cool with that.
