Idk if this is supposed to be a little dig at me but that's kind of disgusting to do if true.
Besides that I agree though, I mean even Luffy was one shot by Kaidou a couple times, I don't know why people act like it's the end of the world for Kidd when it happens to him.
Luffy got wrecked by Kaido FOUR times at that. One time was even offscreened and that was AFTER he learned to smack around Kaido in HYBRID form WITHOUT TOUCHING HIM and being in BASE FORM himself and just using advanced CoC! Kaido STILL OFFSCREENED HIS ASS AND ALMOST KILLED AND DROWNED HIM!
Luffy comes back yet again and this time Kaido gets a free kill on him for real thanks to CP0 and Luffy deadass dies, desptie his delusional deniers and hes come back with awakening to FINALLY WIN ofc!
But Luffy was still getting clowned hard left right and center by Kaido, 1 shot in the beginning of Wano whilst in gear 4th, never standing a chance and Toei had to do damage control in the anime to make it look more "fair" and less of an IMMEDIATE one shot too.
That ended up making Kaidos defeat much more satisfying in the end too, seeing Luffys struggle against him so many times like he did vs Crocodile and thus why Crocodiles defeat was so good too (along with the amazing New World Symphony being used in the anime for it too) and symbolism of Crocodile being launched into the sky and it raining again after his defeat, but Luffy fans love to think Luffy is some untouchable god when even Kaido and Kizaru were matching Gear 5, Kizaru not even going all out and Luffy had to take him more serious and use a much more lethal, serious attack whilst in his most goofy, cartoony, unserious form ever lmao.
The sheer blind bias towards Luffy vs Kidd is nauseating and hypocritical. What if Shanks one shot Luffy, then what? Oda would never make it happen but MY GOD, I would LOVE to see how the fandom implodes over that, especially Luffy and Shanks fans.
Oda is purposely being very smart on how he makes face who here, he gave Big Mom to Kidd and Law as defeatng Kaido is far more importanta and impressive despite the SHS having an ongoing character arc since FMI at least for like 10 years at least I think or at least and he threw all that build up away of what happened especially an entire extremely long Big Mom focused arc vs the SHs, just so Kidd and Law can beat her instead of Luffy and him actually facing her properly and defeating her like he should have.
Theres no way Oda didnt set up Shanks vs Kidd like that and had him one shot Kidd like that too to not purposely provoke the fandom and go for shock value too, to incite trolling, hate, anger and w/e. Its completely in character for Shanks to do what he did and has been from the beginning but theres no way Kidd should have gone down this easily and Oda dumbed him down purposely to make it happen, just like he dumbs down the Admirals, Yonkos and even Luffy and Zoro for example when he wants to force the plot to work to whatever he wants, rather than have it being consistent and believable.
Hell Mihawk feels very OOC lately now too especially but at the same time I can understand why Oda is writing him this way, but I don't like it at all either.
One Piece is a massive mess writing/storytelling wise and its only gonna get worse. Some characters like Kidd are gonna be the worst casualities like Zoro for Wano except in feats/powerscaling sense and I'm vainly praying that Kidd is gonna bounce back and I can finally try to shut his haters up and not be so permanently and brutally screwed over anymore.
Someone pointed out on reddit recently that some characters who got screwed over, were less successful in the OP world have gone onto become amazing fathers like Kuma to Bonney, Moria to Perona, Pound to Chiffon and Lola, maybe you could argue Whitebeard as he was the true Allfather/Big Father of One Piece and then theres Capone being an amazing father too and he lost his grandiose, prize ship to help save his wife and son too.
That same person believes Kidd might settle down and just might become an amazing father instead, to at least one "Kidd" funnily enough, maybe his own or adopted ones, maybe that kid at Elbaf that wanted to go with Shanks or even Makinos baby somehow ironically lmao for pure dramatic irony or some other kids idk, especially if he has his own ones too. I'd love to see that personally, that could be a really nice humbling, character development, see another side of him arc.
Oda made Moria look more glorious despite being so screwed over too, one of his nakama (who is a pure scumbag towards women unfortunately though) who went missing, Moria with no hesitation, no regrets, went straight balls deep into a Yonkos territory, waging war single handedly to find his nakama. Yet people fucking trash on Moria still. They havent even got half the backbone he has. Kidd would do exactly the same for Killer at least and probably some of his other crew too. Luffy as well for his own crew and for his brothers/friends and such as we've sseen evidently ofc. Law was most concerned with saving his crew at Wano and almost died a few time for it too.
Perona, the adopted daughter of Moria, also dove headfirst into Blackbeards territory to find her beloved, adoptive father, risking her life even more than Moria himself, as shes not as strong as him obviously plus shes more of a target due to being a young, pretty girl and with the likes of Vasco and Catarina there too....well no Catarina present at the time ofc but still....yeah.....
If people really cared about these characters beyond a surface/powerscaling/feats/whatever level, they would at least respect Kidd and Moria more rather than slander them constanrly because they look "weak/unreliable/unlucky" or w/e in the story.
But on a powerscaling/agenda driven forum too but also an entire fanbase especially once the DBZ/Bleach/Naruto etc fans really started coming onboard, Idk what I expect, I keep hitting my head against the wall without realising and thinking I can break it for some reason. I too myself am a "Kiddiot" too ironically.

Well I'm sorry about the constant Midd jokes and what not, that really is my bad and I apologize.
But I would never lie about my depression, and it genuinely hurts to have someone act like I'm trolling or undermining the seriousness of it.
This is something that I've been contemplating a lot the past few months, me not instantly acting on it doesn't mean I'm faking it or anything, I just don't know whether or not I really should kill my self and if so how I should/could do it.
I'm not even mad that you're angry about me mocking Kidd/trying to provoke you or what ever, you're right to be mad about that, but it's kind of sad to bring a private topic like that into this because you're a little peeved that I joked about a fictional character that you like possibly being dead.
But I'm not about to start an argument over this. I'm just gonna log off and try to clear my mind, and hope that I'm just misunderstanding this and you're not doing what I think you're doing.
You have a great evening and a happy new years.
That goes to you too,
@ShishioIsBack.
You do you dude but my points still stand too. Its not fair you keep telling me you want to off yourself when you know my friend took his own life around this time of year last year and ive known others who have taken their own lives and Ive had to help them get through the grief of it everyday for years now and still do, despite how overwhelming and difficult it is.
IIRC correctly too, didnt you say I was faking that grief for him too, that it was all perfomative or was that someone else? I can't remember, I know some POS on here accused me of faking it, maybe it was someone else and thus I apologise if wasn't you of course.
You're not the only one whos suffering, depressed, suicidal etc here either and I'm getting fed up of worrying about whether you are gonna off yourself like Jmena did too, do you have any idea how powerless I've felt trying to help you with you repeatedly insisting you were gonna do it and that it didn't matter either? You need serious help dude, it feels more like guilt tripping but then you're trying to accuse me of doing it too, ironic much?
I came back here because I was worried you felt guilty due to me leaving over our last fight here ironically and I thought I can try to make amends and rectify it by coming back, trying to set the record straight, take the blame as I should do and so on, but now I'm wishing I hadn't I've spent most of the past few days wondering whether one of my own friends is gonna top himself constantly and theres nothing I can do to stop it, especially as I know them online only, they live in another far away country and I couldn't stop another friend from doing the same exact thing at this same godamn time last year!
I shouldn't have come back, for fucks sake.
