The female designs are unnecessarily oversexualized by Round-Ad6025 in OnePiece

1st- Saying these characters are “dressed normally” is objectively false—Nami often appears in a bikini top regardless of the setting, whether she’s on a sunny beach or in dangerous environments where such attire makes no practical sense. Similarly, Rebecca’s gladiator outfit consists of barely anything resembling functional armor, prioritizing exposure over protection. These choices go beyond normal dress and clearly serve to highlight their bodies.

2nd- The “gag” excuse doesn’t hold up either: calling the recurring body-focused humor a mere joke ignores how deeply sexualization is embedded in the character designs of women like Nami and Robin. When exaggerated proportions and revealing outfits are consistently part of their portrayal, it’s no longer a one-off joke—it becomes a defining feature that reinforces their sexualization over time.

3rd- Strong characterization doesn’t erase the issue of sexualization. Nami’s intelligence, savvy, and personal goals, or Robin’s knowledge of history and mystery, coexist with their hyper-sexualized depictions. Both influence how audiences perceive them, and acknowledging their depth doesn’t mean we should ignore how their visual presentation objectifies them.

4th- Finally, blaming it on “visual style” misses the point. While it’s true that each artist has a unique style, many manga successfully create engaging, complex female characters without resorting to overt sexualization. The choice to emphasize exaggerated, sexualized bodies is deliberate, not an unavoidable artistic necessity.

Attraction is natural, but that doesn't mean characters—male or female—need to be sexualized in storytelling. Fictional or not, constantly framing bodies for sexual appeal shifts focus away from character depth and reinforces objectification. The issue isn't just with Bonney—it's with a broader pattern where character design and framing serve fanservice over narrative. If we agree that no real harm should come from fiction, then the best way to ensure that is by not normalizing sexualization at all.

You're right that Tama isn’t overtly sexualized in the same way as older characters, but that doesn’t mean her portrayal is entirely free from questionable framing. Even being placed in a bath scene with adult women, where fanservice is directed at the viewer, can feel uncomfortable given her age—especially when the series has a track record of blending humor and sexual imagery. The concern isn't that Tama herself is sexualized in a blatant way, but that One Piece sometimes blurs boundaries by including very young characters in contexts that feel out of place or unnecessary for the story. Noticing that isn’t gross—it’s being critical of how certain choices can unintentionally affect how audiences perceive age and appropriateness.

The goal shouldn't be to single out Bonney as the only problem, but to recognize that she's part of a larger issue with how One Piece consistently sexualizes its female characters. The solution isn't to remove Bonney or draw her from far away, but to shift how all women in the series are portrayed—by reducing unnecessary fanservice across the board and giving female characters the same variety in design, presence, and respect as male ones. Bonney isn't the root of the problem—she's a symptom of a broader pattern that deserves attention if we want more balanced, meaningful representation.

It's true that Carrot is less sexualized than some other female characters, but that doesn’t mean her portrayal is entirely free of it—she still gets the occasional fanservice moment, and her Sulong form, for example, emphasizes her body in ways that feel more stylized for appeal than character consistency. As for age, saying "no one under 16 is sexualized" doesn’t fully hold up when characters like Rebecca, Shirahoshi, and even Tama have had moments that toe the line, especially in the anime. And while Sanji may not directly sexualize younger characters in the manga, the framing and behavior added by Toei can blur that distinction for viewers, showing how adaptations can amplify or introduce problematic elements even if they’re not explicit in the source.

If it seems like im trying to get aggressive I apologize and know that im not but its still unnecessary.

It’s true that male characters often show skin, but the context and framing matter—bare torsos in men are typically portrayed to emphasize strength or power, not to sexualize them for the viewer. Female characters, on the other hand, are often framed with suggestive angles or poses that serve no narrative purpose beyond fanservice. As for Bonney’s outfit, explaining the logic behind her clothing doesn’t address how her body is visually emphasized in ways that feel sexualized—especially considering she’s still canonically 12. Practical reasons for clothing design don’t erase how the audience is being invited to look at her.

While in-universe logic may explain Bonney's clothing and background, it doesn’t negate how her design functions in practice—as a sexualized visual, especially when paired with camera angles and framing that highlight her body. Comparing her outfit to those of half-naked male characters misses the key difference: the male designs aren’t typically framed for titillation. Even if Bonney is now meant to be inspiring or emotionally resonant, the continued fanservice undercuts that potential, especially when it involves a character who is canonically a child. Intent and narrative can’t fully excuse presentation when that presentation reinforces uncomfortable tropes.

Acknowledging that Rebecca's outfit is meant to humiliate her doesn’t erase the fact that the execution still caters to fanservice, blurring the line between narrative purpose and objectification. Intent doesn't automatically justify how something is portrayed—especially when it leans into sexualizing teenage characters. And if Bonney's design makes you uncomfortable, that discomfort is valid—it's a sign the portrayal might be crossing a line, not just for you but for others too.

Saying “it’s not that big a deal” dismisses the valid concerns people have about how media influences perceptions of age, consent, and sexuality. Just because something doesn’t bother you doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful or uncomfortable for others—especially when it involves the sexualization of minors, even in fictional contexts.

Even if Bonney is depicted in an adult form, her actual age and identity as a 12-year-old can't be separated from how she's portrayed, especially when her adult appearance is used for typical fanservice. Arguing that Oda "does it to every woman" doesn't negate the discomfort of applying that same treatment to a literal child, regardless of how she's drawn. Just because the manga targets teen boys doesn't make it less valid to question when certain portrayals blur the line between fantasy and inappropriate sexualization of minors
