Sorry man.
Dont know how the law works in your country.
But in ours, it is.
The problem really is that, for a lot of mangakas, it isnt a big deal at all.
That Meliodas from Nanatsu Taizai molests the girl from the get go of the story and they end up married.
That black hole monk from Inuyasha was also a perv. Married the girl. Etc.
Oda does not portray this behavior as "bad". But as "funny".
This is not exclusive to mangakas, though. Treating sexual assault as "comedy" is something present on western media as well.
There's a video called "The adorkable mysoginist" on YouTube that I suggest checking out. It talks about how fiction uses this archetype.
I love Sanji. But I'm not blind to the problems of the character itself.

99% of Sanji's problematic behaviour is
and not
if you want to get into voyeurism, then Sanji's pretty much only seen Nami naked, and if we are to get technical about it, Nami always made him pay for the "service" afterwards.
We can acknowledge the negative aspects of Sanji's behavior and not condone it, and also not trivialize "rape" at the same time by making these jumps to the highest degrees. Same with people calling him a "pedophile" because of Pudding.
Sanji's behaviour is definitely undesirable and not acceptable but when people spam that he's a rapist, they're making leaps just to portray him in the worst possible light.
