I’m curious how these modern takes on One Piece will deal with the Okama and related characters (assuming they get that far!)

I haven’t read the manga, but the anime at least comes off super-transphobic in how they’re played for laughs at times. I think that’d necessarily be cut from the live action version, but less hopeful about this for another anime adaptation.

Yeah, completely ridiculous! Trans people are obviously better known for whining in the Internet about how other people won’t play along with their fetishes.

Okama are definitely more of a personality trait group similar to drag queens. Some of them being trans is more incidental rather than the purpose of them in the story

Sure, that’s kind of tangential to the point I’m making. Something can reflect transphobic ideas without explicitly being about trans folk.
