Also maybe a hot take, but I think most One Piece fans aren't really One Piece fans, they are just fans of 'the best thing around'.


Like if tomorrow the popular opinion became that OP sucks, a big chunk of them would abandon it on first sight and trash it.
One Piece being the best thing around isn’t a popular opinion though

I’d say JJK gets gassed up the most in the modern day

Yes, because they can't drop One Piece and are cooked. No willpower. They already read 1000 chapters, even if they didn't want to, but their friends told them to read it. And now they have fun with the agenda piece. They don't care about the story, about the execution, but about the agenda.
 
I'd be embarrassed to call myself a One Piece fan in public, atleast here in NA, have you seen a One Piece fan irl?

Db fans produced chad gymbros
Jjk fans are basically anyone gen Z

From my experience One Piece fans irl look like they used to get bullied back in the day. Idk, I'm not even trying to hate rn.
I lived in NA briefly, but not at the moment.

I feel like Japan-NA are complete opposites on both extremes of OP´s popularity lol. In NA, it´s a looot smaller than Naruto and even Bleach, while in Japan Bleach isn´t really that big and Nardo sort of isn´t either.

The rest of the world is more of a middle ground I think. The only thing true everywhere is that Dragon ball is the biggest

If agendapiece didn't come around there's no way I'd still be following it. I'm sure there are plenty of others who feel the same.

S.o to agendapiece it's far superior to One Piece atm.

Nah, the sheer volume of content is what filters out the hypebeasts.

Nobody reads a 1000 chapters just because they want to be part of the conversation.

The ones that give it a go and stick with it all the way have to love it.

The most critical fans of long-running serialisations tend to be the biggest fans. The strength of their criticism and emotions just reflect how invested they are.

I never seen a hXH vs one piece dicussion once HXH got clowned after THAT chapter to kingdom come

HxH and One Piece are both mickey to varying degrees

HxH is kinda sorta above that depending on the arc. Chimera/Election and the Hisoka fight are the 2 main sections that stand out as being kinda Mickey

HxH is an interesting pick as I rarely see them involved in any conflict. All I know is OP and HxH fans are nearly as pretentious as each other

As for the inferiority complex I just don’t see it tbh. On WorstGen if any other series is brought up it’s usually to talk down on One Piece not the other way around (weekly Naruto brigade)
I honestly believed prior to reading HxH, that HxH fans are elitist little bitches, but they certainly have more right than OP fans, at least in my opinion.

If you take a look around, these peeps in mainstream media try to put Kaido on a fucking pedestal with all time goat villains. Fooken Kaido of all people lmao.


OP and its fans always gave off that little bro energy to me, the one that constantly tries to jump into convos and insert himself there, even when he doesn't belong.

Tbh I feel like that applies to a lot of series nowadays. A lot of people I've seen discussing things in fandoms often seem very clueless even about basic things.

I once saw someone say that, when it comes to discussing fiction, a lot of people don't even fully interact with the thing they are talking about outside of Tiktoks, reels etc and that sounded very believable to me based on past experience.

Could definitely be a case of bandwagoning, like "this series is popular so I'll get vaguely into it".

Right but before that (despite some prime BS before already happening in hXh) the notion, especially among the causal readers was how bs free hxh combat was

That shit never recovered from that fight :kobeha:

The agenda piece is exactly the reason why I dislike the so-called One Piece fanbase. Again, watching reactions to even the WCI arc is fun because there's no agenda, and you can see exactly how you would feel if the One Piece fanbase weren't toxic. Especially toxic agenda comes from "fans" whose agenda was crushed, like Kurwa and others, and now they are just shitting on the One Piece story.

Even after reading HxH I’m surprised you don’t have the same take. I mean I love HxH but just like OP I’m not afraid to admit that the dick gobbling gets out of hand at times

Kaido gets gassed a lot because he has presence despite his poor writing. Don’t really see how that makes up for it but that’s enough for some people

Can’t say I agree with your verdict especially since OP is brought up in so many different spaces unsolicited. Maybe back in the day? But even back then Bleach was always considered the “odd one out” despite its quality
 
Cringe culture was weaker at the time, is this really that shocking to you lol?
I mean, Naruto has millions of fans. I’m sure there’s some 12 year olds or manchildren who thought doing the Naruto run was tuff, but I don’t think it really compares to the amount of OP fans who think that raising the SH Jolly Roger at protests is tuff

Ngl raising the SH Jolly Roger amidst toppling your government is pretty damn tuff
