Precisely.this is definitely into fetish territory as previously mentioned.
especially with the music video. 'school girl' in pop culture is a highly sexualized character or trope, as others have mentioned in relation to the idea of it being an oft used costume. but adding the knock off britney spears video, which itself was a highly over-sexed pop music video that was the launch for her entire career, puts this on a very gross level.
are we a sport or a performance art? is this Top Gun saying we don't care about cheer being in the olympics someday?
this is a mess.
There are definitely uniforms that show more skin than these ones. (although that in itself is a problem...)
My main issue is the implication behind it: the use of well-known tropes (eg. the schoolgirl) that feature heavily in adult material.
It's very problematic, and I'm extremely disappointed in Rebel and Top Gun for it.
