Say's it misses the point in one paragraph, say's it's true in the other.
Yes, because "every female character is representative of all women" is the same as "female characters are seen as representing women more generally due to the lack of female characters and protagonists." I mean, in effect I guess they're similar, but that sort of misses the point of the latter for the sake of a shallow reading devoid of nuance.

I would have found it acceptable if you had said you prefer your female characters to be smart, beautiful, morally just and always right if you at least want these things because that's what you want for wish fulfillment and not trying to argue for them because you think your owed them.
And when did I argue that, exactly? Because, as far as I can tell, I criticized a crappy character design and responded to people acting as if developers thinking slightly before designing female characters was some horrible thing and touting out the typical, utterly vapid argument that criticism of female characters will result in developers producing less female characters (you know, because there has never been any criticism of a game having a lack of female characters). After that, I criticized a youtuber's attempt at a clever argument.
How is it a crappy design? It gets across exactly what it needs to. The character is a sex bot so clearly the sexual aspects are going to have focus and be greatly exaggerated. (Long legs, plump butt, huge knockers, exposed skin, these ARE generally considered appealing.) She's also most likely supposed to be a disposable robot to some degree hence the facelessness so that people don't get too attached and not want to throw her out. (Entire Trope based around this one. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FacelessGoons)

If anything it's a GREAT design because it all shares a purpose in telling you all you need to know about the character without having to have someone explain it.
Gonna be honest here I didn't get any of that from the character design until you just explained it to me.
@Metalix_Knightmare
Well let's be honest here, I don't think most people would if only because it's not really something people tend to put a great deal of thought into. Heck, even people creating characters have a tendency to just make something look cool or sexy but don't really think of how things would work thematically. It's the main reason why I'm not a fan of Harley Quinn's current design.
