Fantastic movie!
There is a problematic aspect, but it’s never too problematic to be a deal breaker.

What was problematic?

There’s the general sexism present and the objectification/sexualization of Fio. These are both appropriate for the time period and pivotal points to the character development. You have Porco going from believing a girl can’t possibly help rebuild his plane to him fighting off a bunch of guys who can’t see past her as nothing but an object.

There’s a teenage girl who gets overly sexualized, but at the same time, it’s kind of so over the top it’s pointing out the issue that her other characteristics are ignored for it.
It’s also a film set in the 20s/30s in Italy and the Adriatic, made in the 80s, so kind of a product of the time. Apparently the dialog in other languages plays out slightly different, so the English dub might be part of the issue.
Personally, I do not think it’s over the line or gross, but some people do and it makes them not enjoy the movie.
