Wait... it being niche is part of the argument for criticizing it? I thought it was all about criticizing overall tendencies present in mainstream. What you're saying sounds kinda like "ugh this sexploitation shit show is not considered normal to watch in the US and should be criticized". No, FFS, it's a niche genre that has its own inherent value in the spectrum of things. it even serves as a lens through which we can critically evaluate the mainstream.
bashing subculture is NOT what criticism (feminist or otherwise) should be about, and it's exactly what leads to the stuff people call out as "western norms being forced on media from other cultures"

Um... no... the criticism has nothing to do with it being a subculture. And it's not saying it should stop being made. It's "Here is cultural context for the thing. Now here is what we find wrong with it from our own perspective. People who have a similar distaste for this kind of thing (due to being influenced by the same cultural norms, or for other reasons) will probably want to avoid it."

Why should people not be saved the time and annoyance of watching something they won't like just because the review they read was ~influenced by outside cultural values?~ They're not trying to influence what gets made in Japan. How hard is it wrap your heads around the idea of criticism =/= cries for censorship.
