That isn't what I was saying, I was saying that feminists should not go after women for liking things that society defines as stereotypically for women. Feminists should not force women into any role, even one that runs counter to patriarchal norms.

I don't think anyone said they should.

They said that japanese feminism is about transgressing against norms rather than redefining the norms, to me at least that implies that women who conform to the norms are in some way bad.

I don't think Japanese feminists look at fans of Sailor Moon and shout "You Fuckers!!!" at them with megaphones to make them feel bad. They just don't think Sailor Moon is particularly progressive in their cultural context.

I don't know how it can live up to the original but I am super psyched.

You joke but stuff with orcs did become a point of contention, for some good reasons that someone more well-versed in tokien than me could elaborate on.

I'm not super well-read on it but I thought the controversy with orcs wasn't about whether Tolkein supported orc society or anything but that creating an entire race of creatures that exist to be the murderous villainous bad guys can be read as having some unfortunate implications. Though that could have just been one part of it I suppose.

I haven't watched the show but most discussion of eromanga sensei seems to be "Man this is actually pretty well done, now if only it was literally any other show it'd be great." That's gotta be a weird situation for a show to be in.
