Controversial Be smart and quit One Piece OR admit you love it

#22
We all are. Trust me, if I feel the pressure to hate when someone like me is already doing everything to be positive about the story, someone who doesn't care, will not even notice it.

You may not know why I'm telling you that. But you will have to trust me. You, me, everyone here, we are all under the same negative pressure in this fanbase depending on your social circle and place you reach.


Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I simply disagree. I know that you have a hard time accepting different opinions, and even a harder time seeing your opinions as opinions and not facts.
Yes. I can take opinion. What I'm talking about is something else. A social phenomenon. Now, whether you believe me or not doesn't matter, the forum speaks for itself.


I literally don't even read the manga anymore, I think a lot of people here stopped reading or even following it. More people probably skim through spoilers at best.

One Piece is way too ass to be reading weekly atm.
Too bad for you. You won't get to experience what we are living at the moment.

I didn't want to experience it, to me most of the chapters are padded with unnecessary filler. Even when I try (and I have tried) I just can't get through a full chapter. I want to like it and read it but it's actually painful for me to read so I avoid it.

"Oda has a severe case of depression"
"One piece is only a best seller because it's long"
"Is Oda a Flashback Merchant?"
"Is Oda just Japanese George Lucas"
"Imu in Elbaf is impressive but not enough impressive"
"Oda is wierd"
"What's a criticism of One Piece that's often overlooked?"
"Zoro didn't get to shine in wano, Usop's arc ignored and pointless brook flashback"
"Worst wet firecrackers in One Piece?"
"The Brook and Gunko flashback is a textbook example of bad writing, and why it's not developing Brook as a character"
"One Piece is still extremely Manichean"
"Imu is revealed too soon"
"I asked AI to review One Piece."
"Oda can't write a battle anymore"
"Oda recycles these visual ideas and is making a mockery of us"

These are the openly negative/hatefull threads in the last two pages. It doesn't take into account the constant hatred seen in post themselves in every chapter threads, in the profil posts, in reply to positive threads, in reply to theories, in replies to anything in fact.

I don't think there is a thread with more than 3 pages on One Piece without at least 2 hatefull replies, either about the poster, their post or One Piece.

So yes, I see the hatred. because I'm trained to look at it.
Tbf, half of these threads were made by the same person.

Btw, 90% of the people in this forum would simply be physically incapable of reading something like LotR if they complain about the "nothingburger" chapters in one piece.

Those who can't deal with Reaction Piece, aren't near the level of patience required for the Tolkien "Description" Overlord.

"new characters this late in the story?"

BAM! 10 new names of characters in locations every 5 pages, bozo.
:kobeha:

You know sometime I just wanna say "fuck it", leave this place and say "hate the story for all I care, you will simply waste one of the biggest experience of your lifetime because you never went farther than two or three storytelling missunderstood terms and two or three powerscaling OP tubers"...

BUT NO I can't even do that!

Because no matter where we look or where we interact in this fanbase, we can't even enjoy having discussions in peace anymore without having a freaking 20 to 35 yo hater vomito tell us just how bad One Piece is to our face.. Why? Because they have invested too much time to quit it, so they are now set on a quest to parasitize the fun of EVERYONE ELSE who dares to love One Piece too much.

What I've been fearing about for the last 15 years has finally happened and now the entire fanbase is FULL of this behavior. No matter where we look, twitter, reddit, instagram, youtube.. We now have to deal with this loser man child mindset on a daily basis every F where we interact.

Dudes (because you haters are, strangely, mostly men)... I'm sure that we'd organized One Piece IRL events, that some of you would STILL managed to find a way to ruin the day of every One Piece fans in the room. Don't believe me? Look how the ONLY really genuine non-apologetic 100% Pro-OP thread in the last three page triggered ya all.

This is getting ridiculous. It's O-K-A-Y to quit. Look, I give you permission and you will still keep your manliness. Even this kid was smarter in the end:


So, be smart!

> Understand that you are ruining the fun of One Piece fan who want to discuss and interact in peace.
> Understand that your hatred and constant criticizism is not a sign of knowledge or understanding, especially when people like me can destroy 99% of your complain based on the material.
> Understand that you are regurgitating basic langage elements thrown by forum posters about the ENTIRE story (not just post-TS) as far as OP fan had access to internet!
> Understand that hating everything is as dangerous as being completely blind to the story.
> Understand that you are wasting what may be one of the biggest storytelling event of the last 50 years to play "edgy"
> Understand that you will not get your time back and you are just losing time for yourself and for others just for the trashtalk.

Be smart! Find the strenght to quit OR we will simply start to consider your constant whining as performative.

Quit or admit that you are STILL addicted to One Piece, 16 years after the timeskip
It's a manga with very bad writing, ... that's all it is

Same. I have long stopped reading the manga, having lost interest, I just sometimes read the spoilers to see how the story is going.

I know but these are just a sample. The problem goes beyond the threads list and beyond the 2 pages of the list that I checked. It's in the replies (you just modded a post out just 5 seconds ago for ex), it's in the way people interact, the way this place is structured.

It's not a coincidence if Twitter is becoming more and more toxic about One Piece, the toxicity is allowed by the structure of the algorythm and it spreads to random fans who are starting to wonder why everyone is suddenly hating the story that they have spent 4 month crying and screaming about.

Imagine finishing One Piece, wanting to share about your hype and your excitment, and looking at this list of thread and the replies of this forum...

This is not okay. At least not for a fan site. i'm been saying this from the beginning and it has only worsen since then.

It's not :)

People need to understand that Worstgen is a hub, no matter if it's small or big, it's still a One Piece hub and people will eventually be drawn to this website. We have to be better than welcome people with toxicity and negativity.

I hold a lot of people here in utter contempt, but I also remember most people here maybe were just born around the time of Skypiea or Water 7, so I can't expect much out of their experiences.

For them it’s part of the fun to hate post on a fan forum if the story goes a different way than they expect. And yes this has gone on for years, even during pre timeskip Arlong Park days. But honestly that community genuinely likes the story and engages with it.

I think it’s just what happens when all the battle battle shonen manga fans migrated to One Piece more once Naruto and Bleach ended, and younger users who post about nothing but power scaling where this is more adventure series compared to other battle shonen (story over fights).

Criticism is healthy and welcomed. Most of the time it’s whiny edge lords who swear they can tell
the story better than Oda can. Whether you like it or not, the series subverts expectations and that says a lot for a series this long

People pretending the young ones are the power scalers when is the completely opposite

I agree. This is more of an intervention than anything. I genuingly believe that people, even those who hate it or managed to convinced themself through peer pressure that One Piece was bad, completely love the story.

The problem is the effect the trashtalk has on the long term when it becomes a system.

I'll be very honest here. I'm scared as F to publish anything because I know for a fact - after trying to understand it - that nothing will ever come close to what Oda is capable of doing in OP. EVEN in the last yonko Saga.

People are genuingly missing the complexity of the story simply because Luffy is laughing a bit too much while making Pizza with two officials. They are unknowingly killing their own enjoyment quite literally for a bit of clout and social recognition, it's scary.
