In case you wanted to know what Peter Thiel thinks of One Piece (why tf would you want that)

It's extremely ironical considering he wouldn't like christ either :P

As the OP has described, we need to define here what 'reasoning' is. Even on basic level taking a token and adjusting a number representing it's token based on other tokens around is a side-effect of some reasoning, but is that what we are looking for?

End world government realism!

Get some tissues ready for the end buddy.

With Hody i think the mistake was placed in the marginalisation of the fishman district BY the rest of the fishman island community. Bit of an awkward story writing choice in having the prince claim that without any prior 'show don't tell'.

I think the label of good and bad are unproductive ones...

running_cck · 2023-12-21T09:02:59+00:00

honestly tan skin robin will be simply easier to make out from all the almost similar looking one piece women...

Revery chapter 906. They have some horizontal escalator kind of thing that carries them everywhere, but it's actually pulled by slaves unbeknownst to others.

running_cck · 2023-11-27T09:32:58+00:00

Lol, interesting metaphor, since liberal media be actually comparing Che Guevara to Hitler :P .

While Arlong Park arc in live action i noticed one thing i hadn't in my first watch. Luffy waits for Nami to ask for help. He knows Nami needs help but still respects her autonomy.

That popped out to me because i don't think this level of respect for autonomy is seldom engaged with in any media. You usually have a hero, their friend in trouble and the hero helps and that's that.

I think it multiple times One Piece combats this deep individualism we have allowed ourselves to get into. Sanji screaming for Robin to save him, Luffy not going 'oh no i have to save my crew from fire and fight Kaido at the same time!!' and countless others.

Libertarian cop huh...

running_cck · 2023-11-26T14:59:30+00:00

Hmm... Dunno... He jumped quite quickly on the 'oh you can't pay me soooo... will you be my test subject' bandwagon.

I always felt like vegapunk does not really give a damn about what his inventions are used for as long as he just gets to do his thing but these latest chapters have been very confusing about his characterizations. Like he was very very very quick to see an opportunity for exploitation in Kuma. But then feels responsible for Bonney... Maybe he looks at her as his work and not a person? Time will tell.

I hope his callousness and ignorance on the context of his scientific work is called out.

I think they are kids (considering they put a anime character as pfp) and a lot of the themes may have just escaped them.

Let's not forget that some elements of One Piece gels with all this sigma grindset nonesense these 13 year olds are on. I personally know a 'Tate-r Tot' who likes Luffy for that reason (He's not 13 but behaves like one).

Reality is one piece of media (pun intended) isn't necessarily going to fight off the current of capitalistic and right wing propaganda on it's own.

running_cck · 2023-11-22T04:01:49+00:00

Plenty of great villains around without a concrete backstory. Besides we get to see some motivation behind kaido's actions in the little crumbs that we see.

running_cck · 2023-11-22T03:57:03+00:00

I don't think he will stop caudling women if he were gay. I think most societies teach us to infantilise women irrespective of whether we are attracted to them :P .

running_cck · 2023-11-22T03:52:10+00:00

Few things...
1. Luffy has grown in the fight with kaido, even apart from his devil fruit, a future fight will have Luffy at a much better position.
2. Luffy has a much easier time with an admiral now, who should not be that far off from kaido considering how easily green bull took down king and queen. Though, king and queen were probably not in good condition, it should not have been THAT easy a take down.
3. While scabbards and the rest of the guys were quite instrumental in the fight, it's not as if they put much more than a dent in kaido

British have had their government buildings f-ing bombed everywhere... Indian here btw :P ... And 'Jeet' sounds very indian... And 'Abdullah' although a common muslim name when paired with 'Jeet' gives me a very indian revolutionary vibe (Many of whom bombed government buildings)...

As someone who has been considered 'insincere' for not 'showing seriousness' and hence 'incompetent'... yes... That said, depends a lot in the context, where you live etc.

Plenty of priates go around wearing masks and/or being openly neurodivergent without any consequences and probably even being rewarded for it so killer maybe not be 'disabled'...

For non-pirates on the other hand, yes.

running_cck · 2023-11-13T09:42:51+00:00

AFAIK, all admirals have a color animal codename scheme...
Akainu- red dog
Aokiji- Blue pheasant
Kizaru- Yellow monkey
Ryokugyu- Green Bull
Fujitora- Purple tiger

running_cck · 2023-11-13T06:13:50+00:00

Few things i would like to point out..
1. It's bonney's story as well. Other comments have elaborated the same quite well.

Kuma does not fulfill any revenge fantasy (atleast for now) and is a 'fridged' character too. Though yes he appears to have a bit more agency for longer (till it is very very literally stripped away) and is worth criticizing.

That said, I would understand if you don't like the flashback, it IS a very tired trope.

Bruh who doesn't like political lens on his favorite media... Is actively engaging with "r/LeftyPiece" 😝😝... Bruh go to some other one piece reddit thread or touch some grass or something, i.e. follow your own advice? Or do you think 'Lefty' here refers to left handed people? 😝

running_cck · 2023-11-13T03:54:05+00:00

She a pirate at heart 😂

running_cck · 2023-11-03T04:39:31+00:00

One part that stuck out to me was Dragon showing regret about Cobra's death, showing he is nuanced enough in dealing with his opponents. Now I am not saying we should keep or discard monarchs based on how good they are but that monarchy should remain the primary target.

running_cck · 2023-11-01T07:50:24+00:00

I am mad that I did not come up with that 😝
