I dont interact much with the shippers but powerscalers for zoro always love to slander sanji and downplay his feats to the point they try to claim he is no longer the third strongest when that has never changed and they come up with ludicrous arguments like
well zoro is the fighter on the ship thats his main role while sanji is a chef as if that means anything on the crew . Sanji having a role besides being a fighter doesnt change the fact zoro vs sanji will always be extreme diff.
they also try to downplay luffy and claim zoro was ever stronger then luffy or equal when luffy has always been greater( before you go but databook you ignore his df helps him in his attacks) and the gap got wider with gears and post timeskip
for some reason people act like zoro not having a tough fight till wano post timskip means he just stayed the same strength when there has never been any basis for that oda doesnt need to give them a tough fight before they get stronger look at crocodile.
zoro would ge t destroyed by doffy in dressrosa and both sanji and zoro got stronger by wano ( it doesnt matter that they didnt get tough fights)
and zoro used adv coc to give kaido a scar unconsciously damage has never nerfed ap in one piece
zorostans love to overyhype him or slander sanji because they think its wrong that someone who doesnt have the aura they think should have be zoros rival . they think sanji being allowed to be goofy or look bad somehow means he shouldnt be equal to zoro which is why they downpay him and expect saying sanji was used as a a hypetool changes anything

Don't mind casual comments about either, but both are pretty annoying as actual sub-groups. The difference is that I can avoid shipping pretty easily (I don't use tumblr or twitter lol), but there's no One Piece space online (forums/social media/reddit/discord/etc, doesn't matter) where you can avoid powerscaling or agenda influenced by powerscaling.
The best you can get is like private discords, or sometimes discords based around content creators and not the series itself, which shouldn't count for this cause they're not public discussion spaces that anybody could use.
So, in the end powerscaling is more toxic in practice, since you actually have to interact with it as a fan no matter who you are.
If I'm gonna be fair about it though, the popularity of powerscaling is largely cause it is a major part of the series' writing. It's constantly reinforced so we can gauge progress (not only of individual characters but also the balance of power between factions etc.) and predict future developments within a reasonable set of expectations. People just spiral off and lose the plot with it, that's all
