We have 20+ years of Oda being deliberately clear with gender fluidity and expressively LGBT characters like Bon Clay, Emporio Ivankov (and everyone in Impel Down Level 5.5 and Kammabakka Queendom), and Kiku.
He was showcasing gender fluidity YEARS before these babies in the west ever even thought of putting the words “personal” and “pronoun” together as a concept.
How many more concrete examples do these people need before they stop moving goal posts and just accept Yamato’s cosplaying as Oden and move on?
Even in fiction these concepts are worlds apart and Oda is not being the kind of hyper-over-corrective performative woke advocate that these guys are making him out to be. He draws and writes people who are free to be whomever they want to be, and in Yamato’s case, that is Oden. Not trans.
