I was there x) The big influence from Redon started when Viz media started to drop One piece in digital format on sundays. Where we presume is the weak point of filtrations, where translators around the world have access to the chapter before than anyone else.
Before this, Redon was just one guy with good connections with rawhunters in asia and usa (or so) and very committed with one piece.
Me too
You are very polite by the way, I respect it
Anyway, you're basically saying he became bigger when he joined this forum
But he's actually been providing high quality summaries in Pirateking for a decade before that
Every fan in Spain or Latin America in the last 15 years got their spoilers from him
In the Anglosphere there were others besides him (in Arlong Park), like you said. But the anglosphere isn't the entire world
When I argue with people here, I get angry because they are entitled and disrespectful
People like redon did and keep doing a lot for this fandom, they deserve respect
MODs should make serious rules about provider bashing and warn/ban those that behave like some of the clowns in this thread, in my opinion.
