I remember Naruto fans being critical of the final war when it was happening
That happened i was part of it, im just saying people ignore bad stuff too if there is enough hype gas in other fandoms, who knows hot i will be if oda fumbles more towards the final arc/in the final arc
i mean prime example of this is wano, like yeah retrospectivly wano is trashed even here but when it was current, especially the anime tourist, thought its gold

Most OP fans havent seen or read enough manga or anime tbf.
This is legit what Piratefolk says a lot, a lot of OP glazers think OP is the 2nd coming of christ or better than the bible but also every series out there because OP is the only series they follow.

That absolutely cultist, echo chamber bubble of validation and superiority complexes. Its like people who worship the most famous celebrities despite how toxic or controversial the celeb might be and making that celebrity entirely part of their identity and life, living vicariously through them. Its like skinwalking indirectly.

Fuck man, I hate how much of a literal cult the fanbase is.

As Wiwi said too ofc:
OP fans are cultists
Other fanbases are able to somehow accept the shortcomings of their series.
No One PIece fans, for them the series is a perfect 10/10 in every category
I've been calling the fandom a cult since around Dressrosa at least, when the series really started to go downhill beyond redemption, when that boulder got rolling and it just keeps aging better and better unfortunately.

Oda has been said by his own staff to be "difficult" to talk to, to "reason with". They have to be agreeable, yes men with him, they have to walk on eggshells, appease him. Its his way or the highway (to hell). No wonder he cultivates such an extremely ostentatious fandom then too.

And thats before factoring in post Oden, Nika, Kuma flashback, God Shanks etc Piece.

Wano was seen as clunky and poorly done while it was going on, same with WCI.

And of course, we can't forget Oda hating that his fans can predict things in the manga before they happen.
It's incredibly hilarious to me that this dude just doesn’t want to be innovative whatsoever so he tells his fans not to make him think more about his writing or he'll throw a tantrum.

I mean.....it is....its by no stretch the best story ever told especially when a lot of it is retellings and inspired by old stories, but its definitely better story than GOT and The Bible
Oh yeah I would say too but they act like OP is absolutely untouchable and incomparable. It was so funny when I saw AOT and Demon Slayer both overtake OP in sales for a short while, I think even MHA did at one point.

I would much rather read OP than GOT or the Bible anyday lol. Seeing the downfall of GOT with season 8 despite not following the series was hilarious though, I knew it would happen. Everything that gets pedestalised becomes an Icarus effect, the higher you soar, the bigger you are, the harder you will fall. The bigger the balloon, the more swollen it is and thus the ego, the more fragile and prone to bursting or something like that.

One Piece is a fantastic story and theres a TON I love about it but my god its so heavily flawed especially the past few arcs and post TS.

For me it jumped the Jinbei already with the whole Rescue Ace saga and especially Marineford and Sabaody but I know thats a HOT take lol. Especially when OP PEAKED in popularity around then too. Hype was never higher until that point. And probably never again until Wano possibly? Ironically despite using Jinbei for the jump the shark joke there, I actually loved Jinbei in those few arcs up to WCI. Who knew him joining the crew after 10 years of waiting IRL would be the worst thing to happen to him and for us too ironically lmfao. Still love that hes on the crew ofc but man, its hard to watch.
