While there is plenty of blood, there is very little death in OP, just a handful of useful deaths like Ace and Whitebeard, as well as Gol D. Roger to setup the show. Most bad guys aren't killed, and just get left to escape/attack again/etc later. There is next to 0 sex in One Piece, just some sexualized designs on women and the traditional trope of a pervert/come-on-strong character like Sanji.
It's a show for children, its not a show for adults specifically, it's in shonen(young boy) jump, is broadcast in Japan during primetime when kids would normally watch anime, and is hugely popular over there.
Japanese people are just more subtle with the way they deliver this kind of shit, and even if Ivankov is considered a tranny for any reason, he still calls himself a new kama and is part of the new kama group. They are just a separate thing for that country since they haven't been pozzed as much yet.
I see your point.
Now I just need to figure out why people find this comments to be controversial:
Or this one:
Which were the only two points I made, that seems to be drawing a negative reaction. That everyone wants to down vote, yet not address.
I think regardless of if it is fiction or not, people don't like their interests being messed with or wrongly politicized. And even if people here aren't interested in One Piece, a lot of us are just sick of tranny stuff, so any (seeming) defense of it would be looked down on.
I think people are reading way too much into my statements, while continuing to defend a magical sex changing boy lover who changes peoples sex. I mean, come on. I didn't do that. That's what One Piece fans have been accepting and defending for the past decade. They put Sanji in a dress for God's sake!
Let me reiterate this. It's not that it's 'fiction', it's that it's 'fantasy'. As in Trannys are not real, as the whole world it takes place in is 'magical'. It's all based on magic. Unlike the real world, where such people can not actually exit, outside of a few thousand hermaphrodites being exploited for a grift.
And none of this seems to be getting through to anyone here. People are assuming since, I acknowledge that this is fiction, I am pushing trans as acceptable, and for kids. That's quite the gap to jump.
Because I said, "They're not wrong. But they are also not right."
