Right, I forget how this cirus of a fandom works.
Previously it was "oh, that is not swordsmanship, he is just wielding his sword like a club"
Now it is gonna be "okay, it IS swordsmanship, but the guy is not a swordman"
Legit, they could be calling Xebec a swordsman in the title card and people would find a way to cope about how this does not mean he is a REAL swordsman.
Roger named his own goddamn son after his sword and people still deny him swordsman status so I guess I should not be surpised.
