Everyone needs to realize that the complaint is that the character is the silliest introduced yet. Even more so than Alisa. She represents the increasingly less serious tone of the series with each iteration since harada took over. Most new characters are joke characters and previously important and serious characters are being reduced to jokes. Characters like Kuma and and Roger actually weren't jokes anyway at first. I don't think the presence of supernatural and sci-fi elements make fetish pandering fit in any more.
The "just ignore them" argument doesn't really hold up though in a fighting game. There are resources that are put into these characters and those resources could have instead been used for a character that would be better received. It is essentially taking up a spot.
It also wasn't nice of Harada to assume everyone on Neogaf was american or to associate the opinions of neogaf with an entire country. He did just use the incident to make it clear he was joking and is listening to player feedback.
