The argument seems to be that because the series never pretended to be anything else, then the criticism of it for being what it is kind of misses the point and is not really valid. Going into a show like Strike Witches and expecting it not to feature fanservice is indeed naive, however, this does not mean someone has to respect what it is fundamentally. You can make a dish out of dog poop and call it food, but I sure as hell won't accept that as food. Strike witches to me is a garbage concept, and I will never hesitate to point it out as such. There is nothing invalid by pointing out the inherent flaws of a work conceptually.
In before "that's your opinion man" / "that's subjetive."
