Unless it's someone who hears bad things about anime in general but has been given info that "but BEBOP iz one uv the GUUUUUD ones" and immediately sees things from this version instead and says "FUCK. THIS. BULLSHIT who is this even for?!!!!1!!1@!!" before they can go hunting for the original (on the same damn service even).
Yes, it can do harm. Anime still has a level of stigma and this doesn't help.
