And this is a bad thing why? Is it worse than Akane turning into a pig,
or Shampoo turning into a cat? Please explain this to me.

If someone anti-Akane were to turn Akane into a pig in a way which suggested
it was poetic justice, and then reused the idea with an obvious reference to
the first story, I'm sure it would be called bashing.  Context counts.

I guess bashing is in the eye of the beholder. To
me, chapter 7 of this series seemed like one long (and extremely OOC)
bash against Akane.

I wrote it that way because the previous chapter was biased _for_ Ranma+Akane
and that was about the only way to undo it without saying that Everything We
Know Is False.
