The way it was used, yes.

Day, among other things, double majored in mathematics and music; created, currently writes and currently stars in one of the first profitable web series that has paved the way for other beloved series to be created; started a successful YouTube channel from the ground up; and has maintained a modest mainstream acting career.

"Glorified booth babe" implies that her only contributions are her looks. How is belittling an accomplished woman in such a way not sexist? The connotations are clear. There is no male equivalent to booth babes in the industry. It's an attempt to put a successful woman "in her place." It practically devalues every woman involved in gaming.
