I don't think I really get what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that you wouldn't have complained about the fanservice if it was more "subtle"? Is your problem with the fanservice or with how "blatant" it is?

Yeah he didn't, and yeah there are plenty of other ways. But
why exactly would using this way somehow be inferior to the using others? Because it might offend a few people (and attract a few
)? But those would just be byproducts, and even
if the intention was to go for fanservice, does it make the method any less valid in practice?
TMSIDR here summed up nicely how I personally see it:

Except for me it was never really funny, but most certainly not repulsive.

It's fine to say negative things about something you like, but when this is nearly all you say...

To be fair though, Game_2k4 did say he doesn't know exactly why he likes this thing, so I guess the only logical alternative is to talk about what he dislikes about it instead.
