I'm being a purist? No. It's just that the way they looked at the source material and expressed it is ill, and that scene could've been done in so many ways so that it cannot be as offensive.
Well, strictly speaking, tonal consistency. The way the scene was done here provides that in the context of the anime. The same scene in the LN may have been done differently, and it may have fit better with the tone of the LN. Here in the anime, though, a significant part of the tone of the series and where a lot of the humor comes from is the awkwardness between Kyousuke and Kirino. This version of the scene played that element up, and also reinforced the divide between Kirino's siscon habit and her feelings in reality.
