But that bolded definition would also lump people who actually like fanservices in general but loathe specific fanservices, wouldn't it? To elaborate, in this case, I don't particularly see where it's a double standard. It's just a matter of preference, but when people complain about it, first and foremost they most likely get accused of having a double standard instead.
Add: Also another separate thing, would this be considered a double standard: Companies not hiring people who don't have sufficient credential or certificates? How about, trusting the police more than your average joe on a security matter?
