General & Others For all of the Shanks haters (AKA Zorostans and Luffy haters) How do yall feel taking another L calling Shanks a rat for years?

[Zoinks52]

I never took Shanks being a rat seriously, and I don't think most sane people did either, if I'm being quite frank.

It was just the usual exaggerated flanderization slander, like Mihawk being a painter, Garp being a slaver, Admirals harassing the elderly, Rumor Man Kaido, Lend me some haki Oden etc.

Plus there was potential for a morally grey Shanks which might have been interesting in it's own way idk.

I'll miss the meme tbh, it spawned some pretty funny variants and gave Shanks a bit more personality outside of being Le Ultimate Chad.

Zoro fans were involved to. They are involved in 99.9% of the false agendas. Just like the one you just stated.

Such a blanket statement ... bro in this thread alone you have most of us NOT involved how is your percentage at 99.9 ???

Wouldn’t comment if I was taking an L either

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Dunno people say admiral fans invented shanks is rat meme when it is casual fandom invention, sre yonko fans call Shanks a rat . It is 2018 meme and people are saying Shanks Snitch to Gorosei about Blackbeard or Luffy or something else.

 

[Akagame]

Even if Shanks was a "rat", there would have been some justifiable reasoning to explain it eventually.

 

[Zenos7]

It’s nothing to get over. They are taking a L because they were wrong for so long. I’m just handing it out.

not an L at all. as i said, it was misleading on purpose, the audience was supposed to think that was shanks up until this reveal.

you are just being petty as fuck

 

[zenox]

L to all shanks fans who wanted his character to have depth

 

[trav]

Shanks is a shit character and below Mihawk.

[BoaHancocksHusband]

He's still a rat. Just a rat with a bigger rat brother now.

I am petty and you are salty 😂😂. I’m going to hand y’all every L that y'all earn.

I didnt engage in this rat stuff either, but there is no L to be taken for those who did

 

[Ainchiemi]

Jay D legend and Merphy Napier(also their stans) did more damage to the OP community than sanji's nosebleeds ever did.

I don’t think you understand what copium is if you think I’m coping. You’re clearly just bitter.

 

[grey matter]

Dude, open your eyes and have a vibe check in your own thread lol. It fell flat and dudes just think you're a joke/petty.

Nobody took the rat memes more seriously than just fun and jokes. You're one of the only few dudes who are truly pressed over it.

 

[mly90]

No character is safe from slander

why would i be though when i never engaged in the rat stuff?

im just giving an unbiased opinion, there is no L to be taken, and you are desperate and petty.

I’m not pressed I just like throwing the L’s in your faces, because the fanbase is always loud and wrong. If I was pressed don’t you think I would have mentioned it while it was going on? I never once talked about it. I just find it funny now.

If you never engaged and I never engaged how am I desperate? Petty sure, but your say desperate because your butthurt. If this thread didn’t bother you you wouldn’t have replied.

 

[Zenos7]

not bothering me at all, just calling out bullshit.

 

[DonWick]

not bothering me at all, just calling out bullshit.

If you consider facts bullshit you’re just delusional. Nothing in my post can be disputed. Your opinion of whether it’s an L or not is really irrelevant. They were wrong and that’s a fact, therefore an L

Coming from someone who never pushed the rat meme....

Again, this is not an L.
It's just a meme, a meme becomes an L only if it didn't hit the intended mark (in this case being funny, making some unfun Shanks fans angry, etc). And the rat meme 100% did that, which is why you are all talking about this now lmao.

It's the same as Mihawk being a painter. Nobody cares whether it's true or not, nor do they care that it's most definitely not the case. Intention is to just be funny

Can't believe I've to explain fucking memes and jokes to you lmao. Only L here is you creating a thread to "call out and give Ls" to the meme pushers
