As one of our resident terminal weebs, I'd like to say that I see two things going on here:

  1. From the premise you can indeed catch the Netflix stench of Libstian cultural hegemony creeping up from miles away. But at least it still hasn't quite arrived in Japan, yet...

  2. The show is going to fall flat with the Enwokened on this side of the pond if the joking tone of this trailer makes it into the final product. (if the ha-ha music wasn't clue enough, the text isn't exactly an SJW sermon about "birthing bodies") It's similar to how words like "trap" and "futa" piss them off. Over here you have to bow down and lament such bigotry with tears and wailing. No humor allowed. In Japan it's still understood that these are hypothetical, satirical, comical or rhetorical devices, not life-or-death political struggles.

They made a movie where Ahnold got preggers in 1994. It's a long shot, but if Japan still has 25 years before they get where we are ("birthing bodies"), maybe there's hope yet.

Edit: Also, they're up to the usual bullshit, injecting their ideology by fucking with vocabulary when they put "cis-male" in the subtitles. Listen for danseininshin=男性妊娠 right at the beginning: 男性=male 妊娠=pregnancy

No "cis-" about it because their heads are still screwed on straight.
