it's a two way street lol
both yall fandoms are guilty of this
There is big difference
They shit and downplay Zoro all the time and then say things like Sanji = Zoro, they are so fkng stupid that they bring down the bar themselves and then equate to that
We on the other hand only speak the truth, for example the hilt diff is canon manga fact and we dont equate Zoro to Sanji.
Then indirectly shit on themselves first by lowering Zoro and then saying Sanji is equal to Zoro.
We directly shit on Sanji because lets be honest the char is definition of hypetool and we dont put Zoro equal to Sanji. Tbh I dont think any fanbase of any strong character wants their fav to be assocaited with Sanji because they know its a walking L mostly. The Admiral fans dont want Sanji (they just use Sanji to push against sword/Zoro), the Law/Kid fans dont want Sanji, the Yonko fans dont want Sanji (Shanks fan use them against Zoro/Mihawk but then throw them away).
Take Rayleigh for example, for the longest time they were pushing for Ray parallel and Ray was one of the most respected character in general like WB. But now they got Gaban. Unfortunately Gaban got Ls throughout this Elbaf (surrendering, No.3, irrelevant in GV, couldnt handle Harald etc.). And Ray got no antifeat (the most one can say is that he didnt use ACoC against Sommers - stupid argument) and yet Ray got so much flak because he got associated with Sanjis parallel. And now we have this chicken wing slander going on. Take Ray association with Gaban and Ray has one of the most impressive resumes.
