To summarize the article (so I don't have to look for it): how the woman acts is more important than what she wears. Conan (the series, not the character) is sexist sometimes, with sexy women in underwear hiding behind him as he fights off bandits. But Sonja is a great warrior, as strong as Conan, so her concept isn't sexist, just fanservice-y.
She isn't as strong as conan, and is frequently saved by him whenever he's around. That's why he's the main character and she has a spinoff. Further, although I don't disagree that how characters act is more important, that doesn't change that looks still matter in this context. It is still sexist only women are considered viable for looks fanservice, it is just less sexist than if they are only considered valuable for their looks (Which, you know, I've dealt with gaming fans for the majority of m y life, and is the standard in games)
