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

#1
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

Be smart, quit the forum.

Understand that by trying to prevent people that actually likes OP to make any critics that you don't agree with, you're ruining the fun they have when they come here to discuss about OP.

So be smart, quit the forum.
You are confusing criticizing or discussing about something and whining. Two different things mate.

As for quiting this forum, there si no reason why I should be the one to quit. plus it's everywhere now. So you will deal with me as much as I deal with ya. Well, as long as I have stamina to spare with this forum and my brain keeps on givin me dopamine to write here at least.

I don't want you to quit. I was just applying your logic with OP to this forum.

I don't even see what hatred you're refering to. 90% of the people here enjoy the story. Just look at the chapters ratings. There is no issue with a few people disliking OP and saying it out loud.

They're not ruining my enjoyment of the serie and some of the critics they make are actually legit.

No..
Really no. Not here at least.

You do not see the hatred because you do not look at it. I see it everyday here. I even restarted taking note this week just to see how much I can count in one month : search ":PepeReport:" And type my name in the search below.

You need to understand that hatred doesn't mean the insult of One Piece of Oda. It's the constant criticizm, the absence of positivity, the negative mindset. One critic is ok, two, three, five even.. but when it take the majority of the place, it become a pattern and then, it becomes a system.

No they are not, really not.

There is a reason why there is a complete shift between people who are reading or watching One Piece in bulk and people who have been reading the story weekly for 1 year, two year, 10 years or like me, 20+ years. The experience is not the same and most of them at least, are not able to cope with the weekly release while tanking the hatred. Eventually, the pressure gets to people and they start to hate too, sometime for decades!

It's called social contagion. It's a real documented phenomenon.

It doesn't take the majority of the place. That's the way you see it. But I'm not surprised, you see hatred everywhere.

"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.

Out of these thread only a few could be labeled as hate threads and most of them are from the same user who everybody knows is just a troll. A bad one at that.

Sorry to say that but I think you are too sensitive and easily influenced. The few people here that hate OP (there are maybe 3 or 4 of them that post regularly) don't affect my opinion of OP.

I defined what I called "hate" and "negativity" here:


You need to understand that hatred doesn't mean the insult of One Piece of Oda. It's the constant criticizm, the absence of positivity, the negative mindset. One critic is ok, two, three, five even.. but when it take the majority of the place, it become a pattern and then, it becomes a system.
Again. You need to understand that this is not isolated, but a system. No matter if it's one or multiple person, as long as negativity is king, visibility is queen.

This doesn't apply to these threads alone but the entire forum, from One Piece to politics. It's an ecosystem of negativity. The same way Twitter fuels toxicity, this forum is build to fuel negativity, toward people and toward One Piece.

Sorry to say that but I think you are too sensitive and easily influenced.
Yeah, that's cute, but this argument would have a lot more legitimacy if this was something I've been screaming about just yesterday.

Yet, it's something I have been complaining for years, not just here, but multiple plateform. To the point of even directly talking about the subject with big OP tubers.

This is something that I knew decades ago would eventually lead to a widespread corruption of the entire fanbase toward negativity and hatred. The kind you can see here today, or Twitter or Youtube. Not because I was a prophet, simply because I know from experience that minds can bend under pressure.

Currently, you and I are under pressure.

And even if you deny it:

The few people here that hate OP (there are maybe 3 or 4 of them that post regularly) don't affect my opinion of OP.
You still are.

Simply because it's just not "a few people". But a general climate.
