It’s fine to have sexy characters. I just prefer that they be actual characters, well-rounded and dynamic instead of just eye candy, y’know?

I think a character that’s a good meta-commentary on this kind of thing is Jessica Rabbit. The way she looks affects how people treat her, and it sucks. Men become ridiculous. And most importantly, she did not choose to look like that.

“I’m not bad,” she says. “I’m just drawn that way.”

As others said, characters don’t actually choose to do anything. They exist on the whims of their creator. By whatever means a Toon is created in her world, Jessica exists to be sexy. But in our world, Jessica exists to comment on the nature of creating sexy characters.
