The reason people complain about it is because it (or, rather, certain statements in it) seems to contradict everything else KC's ever said about the MGE universe.

The reason we don't delete it is because, whether we like it or not, it's KC's work and this site is intended to be a full archive of his work translated into English. So we'll wind up keeping it here until such time as a real translation can be found that meshes up with what's been said elsewhere, or until updated information from a newer source can be found.

That, and despite the contradictions, there's actually a good deal of very useful information relating to Mamono culture, religion, etc.

Additionally, there's Section 8 which is a KC-endorsed explanation, if not KC-written, which actually includes some direct quotes from KC that are to the tune of, to paraphrase, "What I write isn't usually meant as a 100% absolutely literal statement. It's a cultural difference between your culture and mine, and mistranslations happen because of it. Ultimately, it is what you want it to be. These are generalizations, not absolutes. Feel free to disregard any information that makes you uncomfortable, especially the stuff that seems like it lays stuff out as absolutes. Because they aren't absolutes."

That entire section basically means that the stuff that makes mamono comes off as horribly disgusting wretches doesn't happen nearly so often as the translated article might lead you to believe, and you should feel free to edit it (in your head, not on the page) to fit your story/fantasy preferences.
