I mean it's definitely ramped down from how bad it was before.

He peeped on the public bathouse while invisible and stayed in the prostitute building while nami and carrot got chased by Big Mom. He's still trash.

I said ramped down which it has. I didn’t say it wasn’t bad, just not as bad as the Fishman Island/ Punk Hazard days

To clarify a bit, in Fishman island he was constantly being gross with the mermaids and on Punk Hazard he was doing creepy poo poo while in Nami’s body constantly. I’ll take one scene of him being gross in Wano over that stuff happening every other chapter

Sanji experiencing a loss of blood from seeing hot mermaids and it being treated as a source of legitimate dramatic tension was just....man, it's not even a gag at that point

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
It was a gag meant for a manga 40 years ago, when Goku was patting Bulma's panties as wondering where her tail was. The best thing to do post time-skip would've been for all the Straw Hats to overcome their comedy weaknesses accidentally, like when Zoro was bragging about being the first back to the ship or him accidentally stumbling upon where he was despite running the wrong direction immediately.

Would've been a good subversion after Pudding for him to retain his White Knight type personality and protect/save all women and have them fall for him but him just saying lame poo poo like "I've got a girl back home waiting for me"

To be fair, the prostitute building thing is 100% going to lead to him doing his big subterfuge moment this arc since he has disappeared for several chapters now.

I wonder if he put the Raid Suit on and has been standing next to Momo waiting for the perfect moment to take the kid to safety.

Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
Brook just wants to see panties because he'll never bone again :yohoho:

Brook is happy to be alive with friends, and is making the best of a really crazy situation that would drive a lesser man mad.

Sanji is definitely a creep but he'd also be a loyal one woman person and cut that poo poo out and settle down if anyone would give him the time of day.

He needs to grow up and have a woman teach him, but he hasn't had an opportunity and it's not going to happen in a shojun manga unless he does get married and epilogue stuff.

It feels weird making this post. They're both probably misguided virgins and not going for harrassment, but I can see how it could be read that way.

Oda clearly thinks Sanji's treatment of women is goofy and innocent. If I agreed, I'd really like Sanji. I... don't agree. It's a shame.

I think this kind of hits the nail on the head. One Piece as a whole kind of has a childish nature about it, and Sanji is definitely the same. His antics come off as harmless "boys will be boys" sort of thing, which definitely doesn't fly nowadays. I think that it is worth noting that Oda has never really painted Sanji's antics in a particularly positive light, he's always called out for it and always punished for it, so at least the series isn't glorifying his actions or anything like that. Granted, none of the punishments are really meaningful in any way - Nami or whoever punches Sanji and calls him a jerk then life moves on and everyone forgets about it. So ultimately the text delivers the message that what Sanji does is bad, but not really majorly harmful. Like a kid stealing a cookie from a cookie jar or something - they'll get in trouble for doing it, but it's not worth seriously punishing them for it because ultimately it's harmless. Of course doing these sorts of things is NOT ultimately harmless, but Oda seems to think it is - or at least, is willing to portray it as such.

A part of me wonders how much control Jump editors have over the series, actually. It wouldn't be too terribly surprising if Jump put pressure on Oda to keep Sanji lecherous to appeal to the young boy demographic that the comic is popular with. Even with the juggernaut that was DBZ after the Frieza saga, there was pressure from the editors that heavily influenced how the Android and Cell sagas played out. It wouldn't surprise me if this may be the case here, since Whole Cake seemed to havea big focus on Sanji developing more as a character beyond that one aspect, but that may be wishful thinking on my part.

The "doesn't fly nowadays" only applies in certain parts of the west. That viewpoint is a lot weaker in Japan and in general throughout the rest of the world. He just doesn't think Sanji's behaviour is as highly inappropriate as you do.

First of all, Japan also has a feminist movement; this is not just a case of outside criticism (as your post seems to imply, at least by my reading). That Oda doesn't see that sort of behaviour as inappropriate is quite evident, but that doesn't mean he's justified in that assumption. Also, Sanji is quite an extreme case even by shonen manga standards.

call me back when Sanji accidentally trips over a girl and then his whole hand accidentally finds its way onto her bare breast by accident and then he accidentally squeezes several times while comical noises play totally on accident, i.e a scene that I've seen in probably every other shonen anime/manga that I've given a shot in the past decade

like Sanji is lovely in this regard but pretending like it's a particularly egregious example while literally every other anime is nonstop uncomfortably lecherous bullshit is a big funny

There was that scene when Sanji was in Nami's body and he flashed her boobs to the others. That wasn't very cool.

I think the only time he's laid a hand on a woman is when he accidentally groped Nami's tit for a speed boost in Punk Hazard. It's played for laughs and whatever, but at the same time he's not handsy. Just a creep.

Whether or not that makes it better (it doesn't) is up to you.

I think the worse culprit of dirty humor is Momonosuke. I loving hate all those scenes of Nami and Robin coddling him and he gives a dirty look while he's face first in their chests. For some reason that's significantly grosser to me.
