I'm just more delighted that she's decrying a genre of anime and manga (and toys, and maid cafes, and hostess clubs, and video games) that celebrate the ideal of underage, passive, helpless, submissive girls. Having seen some "moe" anime and manga, it's pretty barf-inducing stuff, stuff clearly designed for guys who can't stomach the idea of actual women who might say no, or have opinions. It's more my feminist heart being warmed by Mimei's statements about that, than her obvious anger at various fanboys.
Oddly, I don't think her manga is aimed at the hardcore fanboys, from the cover it looks more like the kind of manga the average Japanese person reads on the train or something- or it's one of those new "hipster" manga, the kind that are made by and for super trendy young Japanese.
