A bit tired of people complaining about Sanji's principle of "not hitting women" being misogynistic when it has been clearly stated multiple times that he does not choose it and it's heavily tied to his trauma and admiration for his dad and respect for women and definitely not from seeing women as somehow weaker than him

#like okay i get where you're coming from and i understand that from a simpler perspective it's weird #if meet a guy irl who refuses to fight against women no matter how evil they are for no reason other than being women i'd consider it odd #but.... we have watched sanji's backstory and we have seen him actively feeling bad for not being able to hit female enemies #like what do you not understand #you can say the practice itself is based on misogynistic views too but the reasons why sanji doesn't hit women are more complex than that #a lot of people might disagree with me but like #i'm not saying the act itself is awesome and solemn and correct but you can't go and call sanji a misogynistic character just bc of that #like saying he views women as weaker than him is just. wrong. and i've seen people say it #and yes this behavior adds to his gentleman personality and it's also for the writing to show how polite and nice he is to women #but it's not exaggerated. he genuinely has issues viewing women as equals bc he romanticizes them #and that's bad! he knows that's bad!#let the character grow?????? i swear people can't read 😭#i'm not making any sense i just woke up but yeah #one piece #black leg sanji
