tickyp

all that being said though, it is annoying as hell how oda seems to get progressively worse about writing women, leans harder & harder into Anime Bullshit with how he sexualizes female members of the cast, & draws 95% of them with the exact same body type (despite male characters frequently having body types of any conceivable shape). also the wide range of inspiration taken from different parts of the world for islands' differing cultures & architecture is not reflected at all in the diversity of skin tones. the anime is slightly better about that than the manga, but even the anime backpedals with some timeskip designs (nico robin is noticeably paler post-timeskip). sometimes one piece gets dangerously close to "white pharaoh" levels of colorism (alabasta)
