First off how is that a contradiction? He was answering a question in an interview. He didn’t just suddenly come out and post it on twitter JK Rowling style or something.
He wrote several sexual assault scenes and no longer feels that has an acceptable place in his work, and it hasn’t for a long time.
Alicization was written 10+ years ago. So yes he has changed subtly and not so subtly over the preceding decade. Anyone that’s read Asuna’s characterization in SAO progressive can attest to that. People that try to act like he’s bowing to public pressure or something clearly haven’t read any of the material he’s written since the series was officially published. Of course given that most hate on SAO comes from not actually reading the material it’s pretty par for the course.
