Because this environment is too much of a firefest to add even more oil. I'm trying to make this forum a more positive space, not to add more fire. That's why I'm mostly posting positive critics unless there is something very hardcore to denounce. It's the same as activism. You do not dogpile someone who is already facing an harassment, it's useless and counterproductive.
(unless it's needed).
Note really, what I'm saying is not for critics to stop, but for the environment to change enough so negativity becomes a part of the space instead of being the norm. It hurts to see everyone trashing the story for bad reason, but it hurts even more to see people who want to share their love of the story, not being able to do it without having 5 or 10 people trashing their opinion each threads.
I don't want a place to stop your critic, but for you to have an environment where people can learn to reappreciate it. Because
spoiler, the appreciation of a media is also a social process. Which means that the way you live influences what you like. So what I want is simple: it is to transform this place into a space where you could see the wonders that I see in One Piece. It's what a fanbase is.
This is the biggest OP forum. When people want to go to a place, they have the choice between here, Arlong park that is half dead or reddit. As such, there is no place for another forum or another place we are in the place where fan go or run from. And even if that was the case, powerscaling doesn't have to be a place of toxicity. Plus, the problem I'm mentioning extend to the entire fanbase and more.
Not necessarily. For me it works, but for people with massive illegitimate expectations like many people in the fanbase, the weekly reading process is a problem. Both are legit reading method for different type of people. The problem at the moment is that some people who should read in bulk because of their toxic relationship with expectations keep throwing themselves to a week to week basis.
Well I'm sorry for you then.
It's not the same storytelling quality mate.
No. It do work. I for exemple read in bulk certain series and I know I wouldn't appreciate them the same way week to week. But maybe there are other factors entering against your reading process or One Piece is perhaps not just for you at the moment. But it's not a quality problem, it's a taste problem.
I missread. So you saw more problem with it but loved it more ?
Good. That's my point. Seeing problems doesn't mean that it's is bad. One Piece is a 1200+ chapters odyssey, there can only be more problems than any other series.
BUT looking at these problems contextually devalue their importance. As such, even if you see more problem, your reading environment makes you enjoy it more.
So:
3 problems when reading weekly + bad envionrment:
1. Opinion influenced by negativity (violet) poisoning the reading experience.
2. Devaluation of future experience because of environement + Illegitimate expectation > "it can only be trash now"
3. What are small problems or even socially constructed ones takes the ENTIRE place. When in reality, they are small and insignificant.
The experience of such story is social first. So the point is not necessarily to get to this, but at the very least to allow the fanbase togrow positively instead of negatively.
Making this forum a new beacon for the fanbase instead of being a repulsive void of powerscaling & toxic negativity that people are stayin away from. I have solutions, now, you need to trust me. Unless you don't care & in which case.
