A character is a plot device, so yea that counts as discussing the plot.

Disagree.

plot noun \'plät\
: an area of land that has been measured and is considered as a unit

: a usually small piece of land that is used for a particular purpose

: a series of events that form the story in a novel, movie, etc.

and a plot device is something that moves the story forward. Saying someone is a badass along with their name does not move the story forward. You don't know anything more about the story than you knew before.
