No, I think you are the one who is missing the point. This deal a bet on D&D's ability to produce a hit show. Whatever "bad PR" you think this is getting is completely insignificant compared to what Netflix stands to gain from this.
Other than that, I think you are vastly overestimating the number of people who respond negatively to this, their actual responses, and their overall impact on Netflix' bottom line. The main risk here for Netflix is that D&D will produce a bad show, not that a bunch of teenagers from r/gameofthrones will cancel their subscription.
