It seems you missed the part of my statement where I acknowledged that Isayama intended to make her comedic, but failed in practice. I know full well what he intended, and I know she was named after Sacha Baron Cohen. That being said, intent and action are two different things.

Almost all of the moments you mentioned occurred before or during chapter 36, and she hasn't done anything meaningful since. Even though Isayama spared her life, he ceased to give her a reason to live.

As for the untouchability of comedic characters, that's just an opinion (which you're entitled to have) that I disagree with. Some series kill off comedic characters specifically because the death can pack an emotional punch, and sometimes it can be used to signal a shift in tone for the series.
