People are just getting upset because they're slowly realizing that the japanese aren't actually sapient.
The Japanese are notorious confabulators; they essentially come up with stories to explain their past actions that are in no way actually connected to a real continued thread of reasoning. If you were to ask a japanese person why they did something, and then presented them with evidence that makes their explanation seem impossible, rather than actually scrutinizing the information they just stare at you blankly because, unlike other humans, they genuinely don't understand how different ideas can effect each other. This is why they're so predisposed to horrible war crimes; they fight according to their basest, most brutal instincts and then come up with justifications later. There's been research on this; 95.7% of Japanese citizens literally can't pass the Turing Test.
This is why Japanese companies give out these bullshit nonsense reasonings for their actions, because they literally base their actions on nothing and construct a story around it later. The REAL reason the gender ratio for starters is mostly male is because they're horribly sexist and think of their coolest strongest heroes as male by default. But they made Primarina the way it is because they think mermaid animal people are sexy and they want to mastrubate to it. And the fact that these ideas they've presented are in direct conflict mean nothing to them, because the Japanese mind is incapable of rational thought or contradiction recognition.
