Saying the Japanese don't care what you want is a very big misconception. They have corporate mandates and pandering just like every other country in the world, they're not special.

I always wonder if the people trotting out the "if you don't like it don't x it" argument understand that such a thing can be applied to all criticism. "Don't like on-disc DLC, don't buy the game!" "Don't like criticism, don't read it!" "Don't like this character or this story arc or this weapon or this enemy or this mission, don't play it!"

If you don't like it don't play it is basically a term designed purely to say "I don't like what you have to say, shut up." How much of a cop out would it be if I just said to you "If you don't like my criticism, don't read it"?
I wonder how certain users on this site would react if I said "If you don't like the Gamers Are Dead articles, just don't read them."
Oh well, too late, I've said it now. Me and my big mouth.
Er... yeah they pander to "Japan" and "Japanese" mainstream audiences or niche audiences if there money to made, which creates usually more Japanese fan-service for different audiences niche and mainstream , from robots to boobs to shin chan and cuteness. Sorta the opposite of American gamer stereotypical demanding more realism ,grit ,less exaggeration ,less cuteness less sexiness and... less cuteness? from Japanese games (The Tekken uproar over lucky cho ? which they promptly ignored ) the people who complain about the werid campy elements of MGS series (Also ignored)
Just remove that thought.that they even think about you when they design there story or art in any sense or capacity , Complaint about FXV Cindy where outright ignored since the Japanese audiences liked her They never pander to Americans , or vocal minorities in America you don't exist .
It Require one really massive ego to think a completely different culture that speak a different language will even have a concern about what you think , they care about criticism from Japanese Consumer primarily , Not you lol. You might get more sympathy out of nintendo since they do aim there game squarely at international audiences ,but if a game is a failure in japan , it generally a failure for Nintendo to Mario game are still made so that they are popular with there local audiences first before they think about international audiences or "Americans"
if they want to make something for Americans they hire Americans to do it and it usually only for American or Westerner , which is exactly what square did with Laura croft and some time the sonic games which may or may not release in japan due to sonic low popularity .There are Literally tons of Busty attractive characters all over Japanese media from Kids cartoons to shonen , including jiggle physics .Fairy Tale (One Piece Religion enjoyed by all ages for the past 15 years in japan has a parade of some of the busty character I've seen in Japanese Entertainment ) Shin chan . Kids cartoon Conan , Bleach .
These are not "OTaku Shows " or Fap material , They dislike Otaku Shows because they suck , THey have no plot there usually "Cute girls doing cute things " , It not gokou saving the day or Luffy Grand Adventure or Conan solving a mystery , Monster titan threatening humanity . Western are usually the one to go (OH she has some cleavage , ) This must be pandering to otaku !or it hentai . Regardless if that true or not .
Japan doesn't hide this . There very upfront with "Japan for Japanese only and proud of Xenophobia" even outright refusing to release games on American consoles . , (They don't care if Xboxone has an audience in america it a failure in japan so yeah no Japanese games for xbox planet). They not only do not care but they will block foregin IPS , US IP from joining there online games and entertainment
