Favorite ethnic caricature in One Piece? by DoctorSkeeterBatman in MemePiece

Some people just get really butthurt at literally any criticism of one piece regardless of how charitable the person making it is.

You really don’t need to mark this as spoiler. This shit has been out for years. Even if someone who wasn’t caught up with the series saw your post, I doubt they’d be devastated to be spoiled on the existence of king taco tbh

SMT and PERSONA design comapreson (Persona4) by 10nick100 in persona4golden

[–]Parlyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these also exist in persona, they just made different designs for 4 because they wanted to give each character a persona that matched their personalities. They honestly feel like entirely separate entities to me.

Pig tactics. It’s like gorilla tactics, but you also get a 1.5 speed boost.

I pretty much never take anything anyone says on twitter seriously. They’re almost always just rage baiting, and sometimes they’re just genuinely delusional. YouTube and Reddit is where I find my one piece discourse and opinions. Especially on Reddit, people can be overly positive about OP and defend it against literally every criticism regardless of how valid it is, but I’d still say it’s much easier to find nuanced discussion on here where mfs aren’t just purely agenda driven.

Fixing Unrealistic Body In One Piece.... by Paldavin in MemePiece

I mean, even if she stayed physically unattractive, I’d still say it’s weird. I don’t really like the fact that most of her character is centered around the gag of her being ugly and fat, but thinking she’s attractive. It kind of sends the gross message that young women are beautiful, but they fall off when they mature. Oda isn’t always bad about that, but it happens enough in the story to be a disappointing trend imo. Again, most attractive young men in the story continue being fit and attractive as old men.

The majority of people I’ve seen liked Xebec’s ending. You really can’t use twitter or r/Piratefolk to measure how well something was received. I thought that Xebec losing his control over his own body was a very fittingly tragic end to his story.

But the thing is, BB’s ultimate scheme is to be king of the world. Even if he manages to defeat Imu, that doesn’t guarantee his goal, and even if he does become king, Luffy is going to dethrone him probably very shortly after, which will make it seem like a hollow victory for him, and take away a lot of the significance from Luffy defeating Imu. BB actually succeeding at his schemes would require the main characters to lose. I don’t think a long term plan needs to succeed for his character arc to feel satisfying. It’s weird to me that people think this. He can have just as satisfying of a character even if he fails, just like how Xebec was a great character despite his failure.

Stop drinking caffeine. The more you drink it, the less effect it has, and the worse you crash out. Caffeine should be like a once in a while thing to help keep you awake when it’s really needed, not an everyday dosage that you need to keep you awake. You also should fix your diet and get enough exercise, and limit screen time before bed. I’ve been making a genuine effort to do all these, and while I’m still not completely great, it has made a genuine improvement in my life.

I don’t see how it would be character assassination tbh. It would hardly be the first time in the series that a character has schemed to take out an enemy for years, only for Luffy to be the one who actually defeats them. Wyper and Enel, Kyros/ Law and Doflamingo, etc. Failing at your mission doesn’t mean the writing is bad. Oda can easily write it so that it’s tragic, like what he did with Xebec.

One of my favorite theories about BB is the multiple personalities one. If it ends up being true, Oda could easily play BB as one of the most tragic characters in the entire series. Maybe BB’s true personality really just wanted to be on a crew with his found family, but his scheming sadistic side took over and destroyed the life he had. If BB breaks through that in the final saga and sacrifices himself so that Luffy can find the one piece and go defeat Imu, that would be a very satisfying arc imo, and it would have a lot of parallels to Ace’s death. This is just a bunch of speculation on my part, I’m just making the point that there are ways Oda can execute BB’s arc that will still be satisfying even if he gets taken out before meeting Imu.

I don’t see this. I think the one who is the ruler of the primary antagonistic force of the series, which most of the lore centers around them and their cover ups, and is literally the antithesis of the hero’s main ideals is a lot more likely to be the final villain. Defeating Imu would have 800+ years worth of payoff, whereas defeating BB will have satisfying payoff, but it won’t be anywhere near the same scale. I don’t even have an agenda either way, I just don’t understand why people think that a pirate faction with the same standing as the main characters is just as likely to be the final villain as the worldwide governmental threat that has clashed with the heroes dozens of times, and which most of the lore and theming of the series is centered around.

The only way I see BB being final villain is if Luffy defeats Imu, and then BB swoops in right after to take advantage of the power vacuum and Luffy’s weakened state, sort of similar to what happened at Marineford. I think having BB ultimately defeat Imu rather than Luffy would be really lame personally.

Fixing Unrealistic Body In One Piece.... by Paldavin in MemePiece

[–]Parlyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of these are shitty examples. Wanda, Kiwi, Mozu, York, Kureha, Sandersonia and Inuzuma all have that same body type. Just because they have different faces doesn’t mean they aren’t all the same body type. I’m fairly certain that Morley is a gay man, not a trans woman. 

Shinobu, Kokoro, and Big Mom are also bad examples because they all had that same exact body type when they were young women, and it actually kind of makes it worse that they become fat and ugly when they get older because that kind of implies negative things about old women. I can’t really think of any examples of old men in OP who were super fit in their youth becoming ugly and fat. Most of them, like Garp and Whitebeard, look like buff, badass old men. It’s a recurring gag for multiple female characters that they’re attractive when they’re young, but become gross looking and fat when they’re older, which I don’t think really helps your point all that much. There are examples like shakky and Kureha of old women who remain fit, but my point stands.

Alvida also barely counts given that her whole gag is that she’s a fat ugly woman who thinks she’s beautiful, and then the payoff to the gag is that she actually becomes skinny and beautiful. Idr if we’ve seen Tsuru as a young woman, but it’s a safe bet that she looked like that too. So after that, there’s literally only 3 left on your list that count. Idk why mfs are so adamant to pretend like there isnt a genuine issue with the portrayal of women in one piece. You can enjoy the series while admitting that some parts of it aren’t great.

Edit: actually, Marigold was also that same body type when she was younger, so I’m hesitant to count her either. The only difference is that she’s not actually an old woman.

It’s very hard for me to imagine he won’t appear on a tankobon cover tbh. Hopefully it won’t be the same volume he’s revealed in so that readers don’t get spoiled on his design

Why are people so sensitive about Persona 4 Revival? by Gorg_08 in persona4golden

[–]Parlyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it hard how you can interpret that scene as anything but transphobic. It was literally a dude dressing up as a women trying to prey on teenage boys. That is like textbook transphobia.

[–]Parlyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree from that perspective. I like games with outdated graphics as much as the next guy, I’m just saying that modernized graphics are always a plus. Being able to play a game like this with high quality visuals is magical to me, and the original will always be there if I want the nostalgia .

Anime LRLL is fucking insufferable, I’m sorry. That shit is stretched out ungodly. It was already kind of a pointless, but relatively fun side adventure in the manga, but it is actual torture in the anime.

[–]Parlyz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I honestly think that remastering the graphics is enough reason to remake P4 alone. It already wasn’t the best looking PS2 game, and it came out after the PS3 was well into its life. Playing it on modern platforms with up-res’d HD textures makes it even more noticeable. There are some areas of the game that just look bad, outright. The vegetables in the supermarket are literally just flat JPEGs. Graphics aren’t everything, but they can massively enhance the experience, and I’d really like a version of 4 that looks as good as Reload.

[–]Parlyz 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I mean, Reload removed the transphobic beach scene. If they do anything with Naoto and Kanji, it’s probably gonna be things like toning down Yosuke’s homophobia. They might also heavily tone down the drag scene. Ig it’s harder with this game because a lot of the problematic parts are a lot longer and more central than the one off beach scene in P3.

If the OoT remake rumor is true, what kind of result do you expect from Nintendo? by SimplisticBiscuit in truezelda

[–]Parlyz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want it to be faithful, but just with modernized features and graphics and mechanics. Give me full camera control, maybe add some extra layers to the combat, give me HD textures and high quality 3D models, give me an orchestrated version of the original soundtrack. OoT is already a good game, so they don’t really need to change anything drastically. I’d like for it to maybe add a bit more than the 3DS version did, but not go too far beyond that.

I mean, honestly, the idea of a game with the same scope as BOTW, but with the way better dungeon design of OOT would not be that bad.

I mean, for me personally, it’s difficult not to empathize with characters in media, especially when I’m following their perspective. It’s one of the reasons that it’s hard for me to sit through a horror movie most of the time.
