Like, let’s set aside those fake Miyazaki quotes, wasn’t he legitimately upset with the anime industry?

“You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!”

And that’s that.

Normally I’d call this complaining but he backs it up because everything he touches has a certain life, innocence, and humanity that’s almost like a signature.  

Sherlock Hound a fantastic example of him taking this style outside of movies and into a episodic TV Show

The above quote is pretty much it. 

It had nothing to do with the hentai, lolicon, porn, or anything else like that. Just that a lot of anime was lacking realism because people didn’t draw or observe from life. It’s entry level artist advice and honestly not any deeper than that. 

Responding to the portrayal of Clarisse from Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro, Hayao Miyazaki criticized the lolicon artists and fans who idolize her in what he considers a demeaning manner. He differentiates his female protagonists, labeling those the aforementioned idolized, according to The Otaku Encyclopedia, “as pets”.

Later, he would go on to say,

“It’s difficult. [My female protagonists] immediately become the subjects of rorikon gokko (play toy for Lolita Complex males). In a sense, if we want to depict someone who is affirmative to us, we have no choice but to make them as lovely as possible. But now, there are too many people who shamelessly depict [such protagonists] as if they just want [such girls] as pets, and things are escalating more and more.”

—Hayao Miyazaki, 1988 interview with Animage 

And that’s that.
