Who will be the next Strawhat

For posterity, here's my experience of how I ended taking sides in the toxic Carrot vs. Yamato fight.

I admit I never particularly liked Carrot. I thought she was bland, boring, and basically fan service for furries. I never for a second thought she was a serious candidate for joining the Straw Hats, and didn't even realize other people did.

On the other hand, from the moment Yamato unmasked herself, I knew she was a candidate to join, and by the time she had a few interactions with Luffy I was convinced it was going to happen.

But I found something strange in online conversations. Every time Yamato joining the crew was discussed, some people would give absurd excuses why that wasn't going to happen. I tried to argue back at first, but found the responses completely irrational, stubborn, and overly aggressive.

Then after a while I realized almost all of those people are Carrot fans who had waged some online campaign over the years for their favorite character to join the crew. They were arguing against Yamato joining out of self-delusion and spite.

These people managed to kill every conversation about a possible future with Yamato in the crew. Look at any online conversation about how Yamato would act as a Straw Hat and you will find bitter Carrot fans derailing the entire thing by constantly saying it will never happen.

We were deprived of many pleasurable conversations because of the absurd jealousy of these people. You couldn't talk to them, and they wouldn't let you talk.

That's how I ended up taking sides on the toxic train.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
100% facts. I couldn't agree more.

I've said this from the beginning and I'll say it again here, but I was never really against Carrot joining, I just never saw it as happening and Oda going through with it, the commitment just wasn't there. That didn't change in WCI, and it still hasn't changed even now in Wano even after the arc has ended. That's pretty damning when you realize that a whole saga has actually passed (the VS 4 Emperors Saga started with WCI and ended with Wano, with the Final Saga starting after Wano.)

But for a Yamato fan like me, what really got me into the Carrot vs Yamato debates was actually because of something else and wasn't just Carrot vs Yamato.

Before Yamato, I was also a jinbe fan, loved him since his introduction back in the Impel Down Arc. And it was the Carrot fans shamelessly teaming up with the Sanji fans endlessly promoting Jinbe will die theories that made me finally enter the debate and pick a side.

I wasn't gonna let the same thing that happened to Jinbe on Orojackson Forums, happen to Yamato on Worstgen here.

And would you have guessed that the person back on Orojackson forums who started the whole jinbe will die theory was actually the Carrot fan dizzy2341, the same dizzy who also started the anti-Yamato crusade with his Yamato will die in Wano theory here on Worstgen forums?

The guy was a complete pussy and actually got other people (probably paid them in private), to do his Yamato trash talking for him. The first Yamato will die theory that i saw in this thread actually came not from dizzy2341, but Prochief, who was actually a jinbe fan (i assume he agreed to do dizzy's dirty work because he was afraid that Yamato was gonna steal Jinbe's spotlight).

I had to go through multiple people before I actually figured out that it was dizzy2341 pulling all the strings.

As for CarrotforNakama, i believe it was Nibel who introduced and invited him to Worstgen. Before coming here, CarrotforNakama was on Arlong Park Forums before he got banned for being toxic (sounds familiar doesn't it?). The dude also has his own Twitter page dedicated to Carrot.

I use to feel pity for Carrot and her fans, with Oda dragging her into 3 arcs without giving her enough attention and love, only to completely abandon and forget about her in Wano.

But after seeing how some of her fans behave in this thread in regards to Yamato, i think i speak for a lot of people that a lot of the pity that us Yamato fans had for Carrot and her fans was lost in all the toxicity and jealousy that came proceeding to her introduction in the manga.

Now the Carrot fanbase in this thread has just been reduced to being memed, baited, and ridiculed in this thread like clowns in a circus show and they only have themselves to blame for it. The real victims are the real, honest Carrot fans who have all but abandoned this thread and gone into hiding because of the likes of Dizzy, CarrotforNakama and Penix etc, and the stinking reputation and damage that they have caused.

Anyway at this point I think Yamato’s probably gonna join, but I’m gonna wait and see where Oda takes her character these next couple chapters before I pass judgement on her. The big reason I never believed Yamato was joining cause there wouldn’t be any kind of arc or growth for her as a character. I was always open to the idea of being wrong however. If Oda has her join, but manages to make it work then that’s fine by me

I will say though that I’m not impressed with how she’s been handled so far. I like her dynamic with Momo (especially in this last chapter) but other than that she feels pretty flat as a character. Hopefully Oda finds a way to turn that around though

@Peenix I heard you finally took your L. Can you come and share what you've learned with the rest of the class?
Eh, right now I’m just waiting to see how things develop. Never really cared about being right or wrong in internet shitflinging contests
