That's true and if it had happened in the article I'd agree with you, but the article contains no criticism. Criticism implies a level of analysis of which the article falls well short, it is in actuality a temper tantrum and a rather funny one at that.

She has no point beyond a prudish plaintive wail that women are portrayed as sexualized. The further implication that she feels a woman has no value when sexualized she even states outright, which is pretty hilarious.

Prudish? No, there are types of sexualization that she's okay with, specifically when it's integral to the plot. The main complaint is that this type of fanservice is intended for a demographic (male otaku) that she doesn't belong to. Which is true, but "this is tailored for people who aren't me" isn't much of a critique, it's the second line of a marketing promo.

It's the rough equivalent of a 4chan post complaining about "fujoshit" pandering because Gundam and sports shows are increasingly tailored toward women. Which is technically true but geez. And most people consider it immoral to produce or enjoy sexist content, because sexism is objectively bad for society, which is why it encroaches more on a moral critique than a technical or artistic one
