Akamatsu is a treasure who has always stood up for the fans and audiences.

He's also the only content creator I know offhand who managed to completely revolutionize a genre because his publishers were being whiny about wanting more of the same: Negima was made after Love Hina's success, and the publishers demanded another harem romance manga when he wanted to do an action shonen...

He may not have been the first ever, but he was definitely among the first major trend-setters for the "action harem" genre, blending the casual cute fanservice harem with tense tournaments and fight scenes. A genre that is, of course, entirely politically incorrect because when men and women fight... sometimes the women lose. Due to their own failings, even! Not just because the man cheated or something, they just were legitimately inferior! Political correctness states this cannot stand. Women must be perfect. All flaws in them must not actually be in them, but instead external flaws, sourced in men. How can this man just... Make women who can lose sometimes?! He's a menace!
