Well, I did take a quick look: If we're talking about this clamp, then I have to say that the bodies mostly look ok. Because it seems that the style parody (or whatever one like to call that) is focussing on the face. And that is NOT part of the flag (head =/= face)
No, just look at the CLAMP pics with Magic Knight Rayearth, as it's a super old series.
This style parody is parodying CLAMP's older styles, with big eyes, noodley limbs/necks and such.
CLAMP has gotten better over the years, but having long limbs and such is CLAMP's signature style. If a fan of MKR saw this pic, they'd immediately realize the parody.
Also same with the coloring style, it's also a reference to CLAMP's older style.
Basically whoever flagged this post has no idea about MKR and CLAMP.
For me, I think its fine if something isn't anatomically correct due to stylization providing its not chickenscratch or nonsense.
CLAMP has a pretty distinctive style, I'm not sure if I'd say it was always a good style, but it is distinctive.
When an image is referencing a style, especially a well known one, and the style itself is either weird or known to be sort of not good, I think its fine in this context.

Thanks for the answer. I think I can live with this pretty good. "Distinctive" looks like a good reason.
In my opinion, unless the anatomy of the body is just simply wrong or the art is a very sketch-like (chickenscratch as Saladofstones puts it), it should be fine to post it.
Many artist have their own distinct style and I feel it is wrong to single them out just because the anatomy of their character is not realistic enough (within reason, of course).
I definitely agree with distinctive style being an art parody. Alot of Official manga's have out of proportion characters that are NOT chibi. Sayounara Zetsobu sensei for example also has noodle arms and legs but also BIG feet and hands that I noticed. Especially for the rare body shots, the feet are always drawn comically twice as big.
Which I'd mostly chalk up to Kouji not knowing how to draw feet but good panel placement usually is a nice trick to avoid drawing his weak spots.
