One Piece live-action may face Bon Clay controversy

comicbook.com

Netflix's successful live-action One Piece may face controversy with the introduction of Bon Clay, a character whose portrayal could be misinterpreted. Bon Clay, also known as Mr. 2, is a flamboyant character who embodies the Japanese term "okama," which refers to individuals who blur gender aesthetics. This portrayal has the potential to be seen as offensive by some viewers. The series previously dealt with fan backlash over the casting of Vivi and Chopper. The creators hope Bon Clay's eventual live-action debut will be handled with sensitivity to avoid similar controversy.
