For the anime, the animation director got flak for the Bonney scenes and he revealed that he didn't know Bonney was 12 when animating said scenes. It makes me wonder what will happen to other anime series that runs into similar controversy in the future. If the directors, animators, writers, mangaka, will get flak on social media for it. Just people attacking them for stuff like having scenes of an aged up 8-15 year old being sexualized or scenes of a sexy older woman in sex comedy hijinks with a kid. If stuff like this in the future will lead to creators being attacked and not fully understanding why.
To their culture, such stuff isn't all that wrong. Though we should call it out, yelling at them on social media isn't the solution.
