Death threats on Attack on Titan Author!!!??

Apparently some friction between the Korean and Japanese fans sparked these threats and the last straw was the introduction of the character Pixis, who admittedly has a resemblance to Akiyama Yoshifuru. He was a general in the Japanese Imperial army and apparently kind of a big deal for...various reasons. Seeing as how I am not a Japanese history major I'm not going to put anything that I get second hand in the post. Anyway I just hope this doesn't have an effect on the up and coming releases of the Attack on Titan manga volumes.

Here is a side by side of Akiyama Yoshifuru and Dot Pixis.
