It probably wouldn't have generated as much without the misleading comparison to a non-similar franchise.

I'd say it's totally reasonable to label Prisma Illya a "lolicon fanservice show." Heck, this thread inspired me to start watching the second season
However, it's not a "lolicon predatory/grooming relationship show," which is where the controversy lies. Heck, relatively few of the infamous lolicon titles out there --
as problematic as they may be in their own ways -- actually depict a "predatory adult grooms naïve young girl" scenario. Most involve either attraction among girls, girls interacting with male characters their same age or only slightly older, girls depicted as precocious/aggressive, or nonhuman girls who're much older and wiser than they appear to be.
Though in light of cutiebunny's reminders about the Kodomo no Jikan manga (I guess some subplots slipped my mind), I concede that it fits the bill.
