Do you use this argument for everyone who likes Doflamingo, Big Mom, Kaido, Caesar, the Vinsmokes, Blackbeard, the Sweet Commanders, the Calamities, Enel, Arlong, etc? For each of those character individually and thoroughly too?
If you're complaining about Page One and Ulti so much for these reasons, then I hope you are just as consistent and even more harsher with the characters I just mentioned ofc.
One Piece has been a lot about shades of grey, complex/nuanced morality, hell Doflamingo made speeches about this subject before?
Just because I like characters doesn't mean I support their actions or even encourage them? We're not allowed to like villains as characters now because "they do evil things" now, SMH. How dare villains act like villains?! They are entertaining, well Page One is boring to me but a lot of people like him for some reason. He works as a nice foil and motivator for Ulti though.
If you think this is bad, wait till you see what people do IRL, who they defend, worship, literally lust over and fall in love with, the absolute worst people out, the most genuinely evil and sick minded people who get WORSHIPPED by MASSES. Ulti and Page One are not only fictional by comparison ofc but they are like cartoon (wait a minute) villains, a joke compared to these literally real criminals and absolute monsters!
I know I'm lecturing/ranting/mansplaining but this is a topic I'm sick of seeing and sick to death of now. I've said my peace on it. There is no absolute right or wrong both IRL and in One Piece. Akainu believes he is "Absolute Justice" but even he is a hypocrite and delusional and will be exposed as such guaranteed in time. Hell, his actions at Marineford and especially Ohara already did that job significantly and permanently imo, he's a psychopath masquerading as a "hero for justice".
