I thought the "chick" was a made up character, not a real person:

"Coleman explains that staff and freelance writers under the direction of an 
executive producer will create a unique, witty, fussy personality for the she

I agree with you about freedom of expression to a point, but the posters were 
talking about their reactions to a made up character, not a real person, and 
respect is for people, not characters.
