Netflix has opted to cast Russian actress Lera Abova as One Piece's Nico Robin / Miss All Sunday, in a choice widely regarded as tasteless given that the character hails from an island that essentially experienced a genocide – Ohara – and is the only survivor. There has been a backlash from Ukrainians, given that in the real world, Russia is inflicting a genocide on Ukrainians.
