Honestly IMO the dumb Western sensibilities ARE to blame for some of the puritanism going on nowadays, having said that I don't see what is problematic about Ranma at all. That's really just making everything problematic and that's coming from someone who was (derogatorily) regularly called a SJW 10-something years ago.

Guy changes sex because water. So? What? Magical hijinks that could happen in real life if we had magical hijinks IRL. Stealing underwear from teenage girls is problematic but it's not like it doesn't happen IRL lol. (Ace Attorney 4 comes to mind as another instance of panties-stealing thief.)

Absolutely nobody in any country (with negligible exceptions that don't count, meaning yes some nobody has probably said something on the internet somewhere, but it left no impact) has an issue with the premise of Ranma 1/2. If they did, they'd have made a fuss about it with or without a remake. It's still a fairly well-known series. Hand-wringing about the thought of it being ruined or not able to be remade because waaaah Westerners and their delicate puritanism is, frankly, creating a strawman.

Let's say a studio discusses the possibility of doing a remake, but then says "We decided not to because we don't think it would be received well because of society's changing attitudes about gender." That would be a strawman stoking the hysteria over "SJWs." It would be like when Hulu removed an episode of The Golden Girls because there was a joke where they were wearing mud masks that accidentally looked like blackface because of bad timing. Nobody had a problem with that episode. Nobody asked for its removal. Not "SJWs" or anyone else. Hulu just went and took it down, and then everyone else said "THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO. LOOK AT WHAT THE SJWS MADE THEM DO." You're way too worried about this influence of PC culture that literally does not exist except when you make it exist in advance.
