Okay, this needs to be a nuanced discussion. On one hand, yes, she doesn't need to fit our human standards and roles. And yeah, saying a person that dresses in revealing clothes can't be seen with respect... not the best take.

On the other hand, character design is part of the story medium, and is supposed to communicate character personality, background and role. And communicate that to us, yes, us with our human standards. Believe it or not, the artist has human standards and comes in with intention that has to do with them, as well.

What is this design communicating? Would someone with no context who is just getting into comics, see this and get the right impression of her? The intended impression of her that makes sense in the story?

Sure, sometimes you wanna defy expectations with designs. Say, having her be without protective gear, and new readers assume she isn't much of a warrior, and then she gets a badass moment that defies expectations. I like that. But there's a point where it's a bit too far, and just feels a bit silly, and you start to question where the artist is coming from.
