People are only human. Not everybody is going to notice the connection. Is that really something to attack a person over?

Sure it is. It's deconstructive because of those "incredibly harsh set of rules", and what they ultimately mean for a magical girl in the PMMM word (and also for what they mean for the "magical girl familiar" in the PMMM world).
PMMM isn't just grimdark in a straight-up blood and gore way. It's very conceptually dark, as it turns the magical girl role completely on its head.
I'd say more, but then we'd be getting into serious spoilers for another anime, and drag this thread too off-topic. If you want to discuss this further, then please bring it to PMs.
