Shanks has to be the biggest mary sue in One Piece. There has never been a more "can do no wrong" character who always has to look cool and can never have flaws than Shanks. He has never lost a fight onscreen. Hell, he has never even had to sweat onscreen, against formidable opponents like Kaido, Whitebeard or Akainu. His face is always perfectly drawn, he has groupies surrounding him. Every named character loves him, except the ones we aren't supposed to root for, and the author constantly sucks his dick. Biggest author's pet in the story. He makes Oden look like an underdog by comparison.

I think the issue is that him getting respect from all these people like WB, Sengoku, Gorosei etc. etc. seems unearned.
He just comes onscreen and everybody immediately starts respecting him. The only guy who didn’t is Mihawk (shameless agenda).
Till Aramaki, he never showed amazing haki or anything. Yes, he split skies with WB, but Kaido and BM have done it too and they never get this kind of respect from characters inside the story.

We literally know nothing about the background of the character lol. Anyway, there are reasons for this. Shanks has respect from certain characters primarily because
A) He's not destructive and chaotic. BB, BM and Kaido are. He chooses peace first before he fights.
B) He has an unknown relationship with the Gorosei and WG, though strongly hinted at being a Celestial Dragon or something close to it.
Not sure what your "amazing haki" comment comes from. When Shanks clashed with WB, it was the only clash of its kind in 400 chapters. When he made people faint from Conquerors, it wasnt even defined and was the first time it was ever shown.
What a weird way to try and slander the character lol.
