I was a child when Sailor Moon was going on. Even worse, a female child. I was the literal target audience.
As much as sadcase fake lesbians on Youtube like to make "video essays" that make it sound like motherfucking Shakespeare, we all liked it because it was CUTE. They can make these big declarations about how it was a feminist landmark in culture and create these revisionist narratives about how it inspired them to be manhating legbeard bitches.
But it was about cute girls in colourful dresses, with shiny jewellery, cats and shit.
This Wheels and Roses thing is ugly. The characters look like fucking babies. Of course they will spout Current Year bullshit, while looking like literal toddlers.
Sure, they may appeal to arrested development SJW women, but the literal point of Sailor Moon was how glamorous and pretty it was.
So like... whatever, this shit is not going to hold appeal for men, women who are not adult toddlers, or children. It's a nothing.
(Also, the whole "taking up space" tells me the creator is probably fat and annoying. Like who the fuck wants to describe their work as "taking up space". My Eastern European mother literally uses the joking insult "with you here, there is just more of us" when I'm being useless. Like all I added was one more person without bringing any value. This bitch describes herself like that. And thinks that's a good thing?)
I'd say that this applies in the general sense of any mahou shoujo series. Cuteness is what drives the appeal, such that it's a core aspect of the genre (hell, sometimes even I'm drawn to the girls if they're done right). Western creators really can't seem to, or don't want to, grasp that crucial piece to what makes it successful.

Maybe they are a fat smelly creator.
