@MarineHQ @Elder Lee Hung @Kurozumi Wiwi @Sentinel I have a question for you Admiral fans
Why would you say that the general perception of Shanks among Admiral fans has become a lot more positive and when did this shift happen?
“More positive” might be saying too much since I’m aware that the general sentiment on him is still pretty negative there but it’s definitely gotten less negative.
It’s crazy cause during Wano and post Wano, Shanks used to be public enemy number one among Admiral fans and his fanbase was (rightfully) treated like a delusional cult. He was the most hated and clowned on Yonko (excluding Meme because she’s eternally hated by everyone)
But 3-4 years later, I’d say guys like Kaido and Luffy have become a lot more slandered and hated by the Admiral fandom while the Shanks slander has considerably reduced. Even guys like Blackbeard and Mihawk (who used to be well supported within the Admiral fandom) have started catching a lot more heat by the Admiral guys, even more than Shanks.
It’s kinda counterintuitive because Shanks has gotten the most impressive feats among these guys since then yet he’s the only one who’s image has improved.
It’s not just worstgen but on twitter, reddit, discord and fanverse too. This trend has followed
What’s the reason for this? Shanks fanbase became more bearable (because they got erased post Rocks flashback)? You guys just started liking him more? Or did the other fanbases just considerably worsen?
