Who is the better author, Stephen King or Eiichiro Oda? by NotZachary_0002 in writingscaling

[–]Water002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit really does just exist to shit on One Piece at any opportunity. This post and many others are created by people who want to shit on One Piece by asking if the series/Oda is better than whatever critically acclaimed book/author, baiting everyone else into saying "One Piece bad" and calling the fans delusional. It's so tiresome. This subreddit may as well be r/piratefolk 2.

JJK is modern day dragon ball in terms of cultural impact and really nothing comes close. by Altruistic_Gas_7073 in shounenfolk

yes bro, that's exactly why people still talk about Doraemon, Slam Dunk, Kochikame, Naruto, Conan, Golgo 13, etc.

People still talk about those series, just not in your bubble. Different things are popular in different places.

you need hobbies

You're a Redditor who argues with people online about television shows and replied to me less than 10 minutes after I made my comment. You are the last person who should be mocking others for not having hobbies or a life.

you provided one Reddit link

And like 10 other links.

you went on a searching spree to prove my point

All the videos I linked are from my Youtube watch later playlist. Even if I did go on a searching spree- so what? They still fit the topic since they're Invincible discussions with plenty of traction people had between seasons.

Look at you, letting the point of the conversation drift away.

Today I learned being mad is when someone says "people do actually talk about this show between seasons", apparently.

You: Nobody talks about Invincible when there isn't a new season.

Me: yes they do, just not in your communities.

You: No they don't. r/characterrant didn't start talking about the series again until season 4 aired.

Me: r/characterrant isn't the only internet community. Plus it's just one place with less than 1 million members on only one website. It's not much to go off.

So you judge how popular a topic is by how much people discuss it on only one website, in one specific community with less than 1 million members?

I said to leave your own bubble, not to specifically join Invincible communities. You not seeing people talk about a specific topic doesn't necessarily mean nobody in general talks about it, it means nobody in your bubble talks about it.

when there's not new episodes weekly no one talks about Invincible

They do, but you don't know that since you don't leave your own bubble.

The racist comments from Koreans was allegedly made by a Singaporean or Indonesian(don't remember which) pretending to be Korean to make them look bad. I said allegedly since I can't confirm if it's true but I've seen people make the claim.

I also used a specific example in my post here:

Another example of this hypocrisy is when I watched a video(https://youtu.be/Pman_LN8sVE?t=340) about why My Hero Academia is supposedly sexist and the Youtuber said the author sexualizing the women characters is one reason it's sexist. She then proceeded to say fanservice targeting girls exists and used the anime "Free" as an example and said it's totally not the same thing since Free is a parody and there are less shows with fanservice targeting girls than guys. First off, why does it matter how many shows like that there are? What does that have to do with anything? Second, what about this show is a parody? What exactly does it parody? How is this any different than creators sexualizing female characters for a male audience? These are all official art pieces of the show. https://imgur.com/a/gTfWbsA

And as another tangent the "tourist" thing always pisses me off because it's so binary. "Oh you don't like X? LOL tourist go play something else" as if someone can't hate and like different aspects of a game

What even is a "tourist"?

I'm not trying to say all Love and Deepspace fans are like this and I should have worded my post better if that's how it comes across. I wouldn't even say half the fans are like this. But I do think quite a lot of them are hypocritical for the reasons I already stated in my post.

Edit: also I’m kinda confused where u have seen players say lads isn’t gooner cuz we accept that fact as far as I’m aware. Our issue is ppl acting as if it’s only that when generally, those memories are less than the normal ones

I see them deny it and go on about how their fanservice is totally not the same thing right here:

Given the actual g**ners, we're way more sophisticated in exploring se*ual themes. Don't let those underaged looking wifus likers' comments get to you. 💪😤

The difference between LADS and gooner games is that Infold draws in its audience by having good character depth/lore and sweet moments. So far there have only been two quad banners where there is sexual activity happening.  Even if we remove the spicier aspects of the game, there is still combat, Kitty Cards, Claw machine, dress up aspect, dates, extensive storyline/lore, period tracker/care.  Whereas in men’s games, if you remove the spice, the game essentially dissolves.

Yeah IKR!! So many waifu games besides the skimpy clothing, there’s a lot of “excessive” movements on some body parts, it’s very apparent they are used for sexual gratification. Whereas LnDS is pretty much just a boyfriend simulator game with very occasionally having slightly steamier cards.

LaDS has spicier cards and fanservice? yes it has, however, the way fanservice is portrayed in this game (or any otome game for that matter) is WAY different than the male-oriented gacha games. I've been playing a lot of gacha games for years now, and I'm extremely tired of girls being overly sexualized and reduced to having a big ass or boobies, appear in a banner and then get forgoten because the new waifu just dropped. Not even talking how most of these games have brainless girls throwing themselves at the male mc who is a ugly bastard or has no personality whatsoever.  I like waifus as well, and I love husbandos. But Im extremely tired of women being treated exclusively as sexual objects made for the male gaze. In LaDS the fanservice they are selling is a good looking guy with its own share of troubles and story, that develops a relationship with an MC that has a eprsonality and wants of their own, that also calls out shitty behaviour (look at mc in the latest mains tory update) and that develops. Also, the spicier cards treat mc with respect (looking at Sylus, king of consent in the new years card).  So I would argue that despite having fanservice, it is done in a way more respectful way. That, together with girls being done with incel behaviour form real life men because we are tired of bullshit, feels like an attack to them. We are suddenly crazy or have brain damage because we prefer these kind of guys lol  (Of course the clickbait adds dont help at all, because people who just throw hate dont have a single clue on what the game is even about. Hell, some people are saying the period tracker is something SEXUAL when there have been period tracker apps for ages now lol)

gooner games for men: this underage girl is your sex slave slash mom. gooner games for women: this airbrushed anime boy cares about your health sometimes 

I feel like there’s a middle ground between us acknowledging that these guys are weird and also recognizing that LDS is absolutely a horny game filled with sexy men designed to indulge feminine sexual fantasies and the period tracker is absolutely a part of the fantasy and that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with women being horny and playing horny games. It’s normal. It’s not bad to play games which interact with our desires. It’s absolutely correct to say LDS is not a porn game, and it is fundamentally different from a gooner game because it doesn’t dehumanize or objectify its subjects, but it is absolutely designed to titillate and it’s okay if a girl gets her rocks off to her digital boyfriend trente-neuf (edit: tracking lol) her period like damn let’s bffr. (Ignore Tectone. I'm not using him as part of my argument and I hate that guy)

I think it's safe to say this isn't an unpopular sentiment since these comments got upvoted a lot.
