I know what bad faith is. But the thing you seems to ignore is that I don't need to reply with evidence to a bad faith argument.
Remember this: An assertion told without evidence can be countered without evidence.
All the things I listed are factual bad faith argumentation. I do NOT need to prove why. Because the story is on my side, not yours.
- YOU have to prove that Carrot is a bad look out
- YOU have to explain why a out of context panel is sufficiant to say that
- YOU have to explain why a character like Carrot is irrelevant.
Not me. This is called the burden of proof. Again, don't argue rethoric with a sceptic.
Secondly, Here I told you that as a mod, you should be able to make the difference between an attack and a reply. What are you respounding? : "you are saying that as a mod I should agree with you".
First as a mod, you should NOT be allowed to twist the words of others. I told you something specific, NOT what you just said. Again.. this is one of the proof that this Forum actually encourage toxicity rather than the opposite.
Secondly, I stand by what I said. You should be able to make the difference between an attack and a simple reply.
I've never used bad faith here. And I stand by it. When there are good point for Carrot I states them, when there are bad points for Carrot I also state them. And I do the same for Yamato.
I use precision and my knowledge of storytelling to argue. Tho I can understand it might feel alien to some of you.. those are really not difficult concept and I expect you to understand them with enough explication. Problem.. Those explications are ignored.. most of my content message are ignored to.. I gave you multiple link with throughout explanation.. did anyone cared take a look ?
No. (and don't lie, I have the stats)
This is (one of) the problem.. You (as a group) seems to not care about evidences. That's why I can safely say that this forum is completely bias toward Yamato. All you (as a group) care about, is meming.. Tho it might be fun once or twice.. when it is repeating it becomes something else.. much worse.

Now, If I am saying that Oda is going to do something completely different for Carrot for her backstory, it's because he has ALREADY begun to do so. Carrot is the ONLY living character out of the strawhat who was gifted with:
- multi layered characterisation + interactions with the strawhats
- A active post on the ship
- A shining mugiwara action.
Those are NARRATIVE evidences. I can understand that you don't understand them.. But if so.. at least go read my explanations.

Thirdly:
- Oda DID use the red hearing technique once before. It was Vivi. Oda used narratively Vivi as a decoy to introduce Robin. You can dislike that all you want, this is a narrative FACT.
- Yes every strawhat had an arc related to their recrutment. This is also a narrative facts. The thing you ignore, is that those arc are not always happening before or present to the joining of the character into the crew. In fact we have the occurence of two characters (Robin AND Nami) where those arc happens AFTER the fact. That's why you must NOT get rid of the possibility of Carrot getting an arc AFTER Wano. In fact it is more likely to happen that way for multiple reasons.
- She is a girl
- Oda will most likely center the following arcs on the strawhats
- Carrot talked about the giant before
- Yes, it is a fact that each strawhat had a struggling past... PRIOR to their joining in the crew. As I explained on this thread . There is reason to believe that he might change sighly the pattern for Carrot while keeping ALL the narrative material intact as I explained it
there
- Yes, it is a fact that each strawhat needed Luffy. But as I said before, we can't get rid of the possibility of this happening later in the story. Anyway I take that into account
There
- Yes, it is a narrative facts that every strawhat have been a MAJOR protagonist in there respective arc (what I call a recrutment arc)... BUT here we are NOT in a recrutment arc. We are in (what I call) a JOINING arc. This is an arc when the character join in. And as we have seen with Robin in Alabasta. A minor Character can and is most likely to join when they are Low in the story. Because of a simple narrative principle : It creates the surprise.
- Wrong. On little garden, Oda completely sieline sanji in order to make him interact with Crocodile.
So.. as you can see. Yeah. People have thrown those statement to my face multiple time.. But the majority of those statement are INCOMPLETE. (And those are not the bad faith statement i'm talking about btw) Most of those statement forget or ignore other elements of the story that are important.
Where are my argument for Carrot ?
HERE (and take notes that many arguments are still to come)
I won't copy paste everything here. It's just a waste of time and energy. All I can do is go more in depth with you if you have question.
But (for example) if you take a panel out of context to show me that Carrot is a bad look out, while ignoring that this panel is not meant to show that situation but the fact that all the strawhats are taken by surprise.. then yes.. I will call out your bad faith.
