Well, its not reeeeeaaaally bad per say, its just less cool than gear 5. The trope of the empowerement of boy through anger is really a problematic one when we talk about toxic masculinities. In real life, anger does not bring power, it brings less control and usually more victim, mainly women. So showing that you can be stronger through laughs is a very good thing.
I like toxic masculinity :zosmug::zosmug:.
 
What you fail to understand is that 12 year old Bonney and Adult Bonney are two separate entities.
Explain that to those who prolly done their deed over her

And it puts in quesiton oda's charcters as a mangaka who according to you knows that perverts are gonna watch their female charcter turn out to be 12, and the fact that he'd do that to a charcter.
 
You buried yourself when you talked about how men who read Manga tend to be porn addicted no life's, yet here you are.

I decompartmentlize things, and bring scenarios into rational reasonings, so I can enjoy what I am reading.

Nobody knows what goes on in an authors mind but themself. Obsessing over why X draws this, and why Y draws that is absurd, and pretending like you know for a concrete fact the reasoning behind things like that is downright an elitist attitude.

I'll say it for the second time. If anything is questionable and should be picked apart is the fact that Authors create scenarios that feed these type of people. However it is not a concrete measure of their personal preference.

Good for you man to be able to approach the way you do , and i say that sincerely, coz there are folks who can't, Atleast you admit that.. There is an objective rationale behind why people look at OP female charcters like they do,and its this culture of perversion. Not everyone has the physical control or the mental ability to do so, but you also can't deem everything subjective to them whilst saying its intentionally intended for those susceptible to it. If that is true then you're just misinterpreting fan services that has an obvious targeted audience and that has shown to creeo people out who aren't into fan service.

I don't need to pull up the studys, they are out there and they aren't on your side here

I'm not saying WHY, obviously nobody can read minds, it is impossible to know the intent, we can only know the effect of said intent which in this case, is Oda promulgating filthy images and scenarios into his story and to his reader

We can't know why even conceptualize why a lolicon artist draws what they draw, but we can see that they do. And that it's wrong

His preference may be towards it or against it, what matters is the effect which is that it is a perversion of his character and story that has caused a reasonable outrage in the community for years, culminating in Egghead

Plus...even if we can't know with 100% certainty, we can still reasonably assume some things for example that he views Luffy as good and Along as bad based on how he potrays their dynamic, or that he portrays Nami as a protagonist and good person, whilst also having her obscene against 8 year olds, therefore we can reasonably assume that these are not violations of morale for a character that he would have a protagonist do it without remorse

Okay, gentlemen

Let's remember this is not us. This is Oda, the author, who made these decisions. We are going to distance ourselves from the fact that this motherfker put us into the situation of having to even think about this shit.

The sophisticated, classy, gentlemen that we are, we analyzed the subject and realized there are many strong feelings on it from different points of view. But, again, let's not put ourselves into the position that we must defend our own observation of it.

We didn't know all this shit was gonna happen. I mean, it's questionable, sure. But, we didn't come into it knowing that.

It's probably going to continue... we'll see more of it. The question is - do we condemn the author? Idk. That's tough.

He has his shortcomings.

I can agree with this, as I take no issues with how people can view these things, due to how they are drawn.

I only take issue when people act they know for a fact that a certain individual believes x, y and z. If that wasn't your intention, then we're good.
 
Its too bad, you could have made a good criticizism of the sexualization of women in One Piece and instead you are just showing that you didn't understand the story.

- Sanji's lust for chibby Nami is indeed creepy but is filler so it really has no place here.
- Momo is no a 28 yo trapped in a kid body, he is a 8 yo kid trapped into an adult body.
- There is absolutely nothing sexual in the way women interact with Momo (at least on their part, momo is indeed a perv who takes advantage of the situation but he is a kid, so instead of blaming women here, you can rather blame sexism).
- Seraphin Hancock doesn't pretrify out of lust but because she is small and therefore "cute" (notice that she also petrified York because of that), it was obvious and yet still was explained by Oda because of weirdos in an SBS.

The point about One Piece being creepy on pedophilia is therefore dull, but you COULD make a real criticizism about sexism and the sexualization of women in the Manga industry or in Japanese's culture that leads old school authors like Oda to draw weird stuff like Carrot or Bonney but also Nami or Robin in constant swim suit. The problem is therefore not a creepy lust, the problem is the sexualization of all women to begin with, not just those two.

Try to fight with good arguments if you really want to take a shot at One PIece as there are a few, because you are looking like someone who didn't read the story here.
Nami used her body just to have Momo agree with her. So yes there is something very wrong and sus about it. The fact Nami knows this makes her showers even weirder. And yes regardless of whether its a man or a woman, an Adult (especially a stranger) showering with an 8 year old is WRONG !!!!

How would you feel if it was an Adult Man showering with an 8 year old girl ?
