Urgh, that thread. I watched that go down last night and I was seething by the end of it.
And I wouldn't worry about the AAP page! Honestly, the page seems a little... nonsensical, I guess. XD At least to me. I feel like it added a whole bunch of things that might not appeal to all audiences instead of just things that don't have any appeal for its intended audience. Like, okay, obviously people who don't like Magical Girl series won't find the appeal in Princess Tutu's premise, but that's not who they're trying to appeal to in the first place. Their example in the article itself, the Peter Pan one, fits very well because it was meant to appeal to children but didn't-- I think probably half the people who added series to that page missed that key part.
