One thing I notice about their reviewers is they let their socio-political views heavily influence their judgement of an anime, even if the anime didn't have any sort of views to begin with. And if said anime runs counter to those views, those are big grounds for them to hate it.
It was the same thing when they reviewed Death March - because Satou's companions were legally otherworld slaves they really bashed it hard (and other reasons, like hating Satou's characterization etc.)

I think there are plenty of non-socio-political reasons to dislike Satou's characterization. The whole secret identity thing was contrived at the start and it just gets worse as the books go along.
