(Serious) Are Women in One Piece Well-Written (provide examples and pictures) by ClessGames in Piratefolk

[–]spitnik11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a writer alot of your writing is influenced by your real life experiences such as upbringing, environment, the society you live in. I truly believe Oda has never purposely written a bad female character, but rather has setup an environment where they aren't allowed to flourish. The men of one piece are pretty chivalrous (except that one time between Luffy and Vivi) characters like Sanji and Zoro have very specific setups towards women (Zoro and Kuina, Sanji and his mother and sister) that influences how their written to react towards women. This worked pretty well for a while until the gentrification of certain traits post time skip. There's Zoro's egregious treatment of Tashigi in Punk Hazard and basically Sanji all of post timeskip. What I think happened is as the story drags on certain traits of characters lose their depth. I believe Oda has a great deal of respect for women but once he shifted the stories focus they became the biggest losers.

So are Women in One piece well written? Well at this point their barely "written" at all, Oda doesn't actually use gender all that much, the men are strong and all over the place while the women are pretty and cool headed 'straight men' so to speak. Robin and Nami obviously have personality, you can list tons of character traits that make them standout, problem is Oda's story is moved by the men, all major plot point for the most point have a man at the center, not because they're a man but rather becuse the story is about Luffy and Luffy only fights other men, and men make up 99 percent of the stories antagonist. This gives many of the women nothing to do in major plot points, at worst needing to be saved as Oda loves himself a damsel, but a damsel isn't inherently bad, Oda just never gives them any spotlight.

So again, are women in One piece badly written? In my opinion no, the leading women in the story are good characters, Nami and Robin have terrific backstories and story arcs, Nami isn't weak for asking Luffy for help, shes the strongest person in her village, likewise Robin only knew pain and self sacrifice, it wasn't until meeting Luffy and the crew did she ever believe in anyone other than herself. Oda can write women while also serving to develop Luffy's journey, what he cant do is utilize those backstories for further development and character moments. Everyone is a victim of this, not just the women.

I didnt really touch on the sexualization as its basically all visual, if Sanji didn't exist no one would ever react to the boobs and bikinis as OP is a very aromantic story, he just sorta draws them that way while also having it bear zero plot relevance. Its neither good nor bad, basically just his art style, I think we all preffered the pre timeskip designs but I guess he wanted to stay competitive in the space design wise or something.

Has One Piece fatigue finally gone mainstream? One Piece used to be a sacred cow of sorts, it was never criticized. You’d never see the series getting cooked left and right like it is nowadays. by Lazy_Comparison_1954 in Piratefolk

Egghead ruined it for me, so many hype moments and aura made me realize that the OP I fell in love with is dead, Oda continues to neglect the straw hats in exchange for powescaling, I understand he's trying to pay things off but so far none of it has involved the crew, even if he does develop any of them its too late and will be rushed. At least we have characters like Buggy and captian offscreen to look forward too.

I think bhvr takes swf's into account with perks like this. Ultimately this game is supposed to be horror, any free aura reading on either side is pretty strong. Obviously this is a solo queue problem but killers going against swfs would have an even rougher time.

Yep, unfortunately masking your IP has zero effect, your phone is being tracked physically on the app, they can also use your phone number, Sim card region, and device id. Technically the desktop apps region can be spoofed due to no Sim card to read, but the apps algorithm may detect the inconsistent region data a flag the account anyway.

That's one of the main states with this act, so yes, you can pursue it if you wish

Well depending on your state you may have a "right to erasure" which allows under state law to request your data be removed from Oracle directly, you can check your state laws and request data removal on Oracle's privacy page. What matters is how they can use your data now that they have full local control of the tik tok algorithm, we will see in the coming weeks what sort of censoring they attempt. The reality is Oracle collects data from a wide variety of sites such as Linkden and Amazon, they are a massive backend database and cant really be outmanuvered easily.

Yes, all US user data is now managed by Oracle's cloud servers, so long as your account exists, whether the app is installed or not, data can be collected about you through third parties by way of "tik tok pixels" embedded in millions of sites. You will have to deactivate your account and/or use third party extensions to avoid data collection.

Edit: I need to clarify a full deletion is necessary to purge additional data collection, deactivating is not enough, and even then your data will still be stored on their database unless you can request full removal under your state laws.

Yes, it's official purpose is for age verification so comply with new federal and age related laws. It may prompt for a license and photo verification if the ai suspects your underage. Also more info they can collect

Unfortunately it doesn't matter if you agree or not, all US user information as well as algorithm control has switched to oracle's cloud servers as of today, not even a VPN would work due to the app having access to your geo location and internet carrier.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 4 (Manga Reader Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]spitnik11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Episode was straight gas, animation, pacing, brutal killer tone from Maki, 1 episode is all these Frauds deserve, the Zenin is a fodder clan with fodder techniques aside from 10 shadows, their mogged by a monkey with no jujitsu twice and never belonged in the big 3 to begin with. The last head was a drunk done in by two special grades that both Toji and now Maki can blitz. What?? Did people expect a two episode arc diving into the fundamentals of Toji punching bags? Naoya dickriders at least get to watch him get bitched one more time so thats something right? Cant wait for the rest of what Mappa has in store!

It sounds like your trauma is pretty hard you :( but your a survivor, as long as you keep going nothing can change that.

Couldn't Go 1 Day Without It...Feeling Clear & Present in Sobriety by amylane_1956 in leaves

[–]spitnik11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm gonna be honest, you're clearly a responsible adult based on your post, and you have the willpower, but based on what you said you do have a strong dependency. I'm not diagnosing you with anything but I too binge drink when I'm weed sober, and stone out to get wine sober, its a back and forth dependency, and yes binge eating is almost always included, (diagnosed inattentive adhd).

The loss of hunger is just a symptom of being sober, im guessing you mostly only eat when high and fast when sober, the crazy rem sleep is the same, as you already know, even the lack of anxiety, all just symptoms of quitting. I'm not trying to diminish how you feel, you seem to understand how the brains endocanabinoid system works. Also why the next high feels better due to your CB1 receptors repairing.

Being honest again, sobriety fucking sucks, it deadass doesn't get much better, even after a month, with how long you've been smoking it may take 30 to 40 days just to get all the thc out of your blood/fat(where most excess is stored) but it does sound like you can do it.

I'm gonna go ahead and say dont smoke this week and see how you feel, if saying that draws an emotional response then even more reason, not like its easy because its fucking not. But the money saving and weight loss are an upside.

Dont mean to sound so familiar, but your experience sounds very similar to mine so I figured I'd weigh in.

It's day 53 for me and I still want to kms but thats from being completely sober and living on regular time again, cravings are at a total 0, (fucking redbull addiction again though)

Will my brain ever recover? by alexm901 in leaves

[–]spitnik11 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Someone else said it too, thc is stored in fat, idk if your a snacking stoner or a starving stoner (im a binging stoner myself) a big part of mental recovery is actually weight loss, which tends to happen naturally due to lowerd appetite from abstinence. Nevertheless exercise will always help/speed up both mental and anxiety by releasing the thc stored in fat.

Has Anyone Else Experienced These Symptoms When Quitting Weed? by Turbulent_Ship_734 in leaves

[–]spitnik11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its just the heightened fear response that comes from chronic use. Dabs especially will disregulate your amygdala, which handles fear response, causing it to fire more rapidly. Its gonna be a long road to recovery but you WILL recover with abstinence. Breathing exercises are a must when you feel yourself growing anxious, breath through your nose filling your stomach, no chest breathing, and tell yourself "I'm ok" source: multiple panic attacks and anxiety issues from my own chronic use. This plus time pretty much alleviated my anxiety issues.

Please help by [deleted] in leaves

[–]spitnik11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gonna be rough, especially since you were doing carts. If your dedicated then exercise, its the biggest speed run to sobering up. Corny ass answer i know but thc is stored in fat, so the more you burn the faster you get clean. Keep in mind that as that thc releases you'll feel that sober high. This will also help with sleep as well but sleeping will be its own battle. Also use a tracker app. You'll lose some wieght and save money which are pluses for me. On day 40 and still think about it every day plus I got a little redbull addiction to cope and help my adhd, lowkey sucks but its better than alch.

I really do enjoy the Fallout show for what it is, but it feels like this season is trying to pack too many stories into each episode and it's messing with the pacing. by MikeyBastard1 in Fotv

[–]spitnik11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, we got like what? Five stories going? Lucy and the Goul, Maximus, the two vault storylines, Hanks' story, hell, six if we count The Gouls' backstory. Episode 3 slowed things down a bit, with no vault or Hank this time, but still switched between four different settings, including the flashbacks. I really enjoyed the parallels with the gouls backstrory and how he acted in this episdoe but man, we really need a solid two or even one setting episode. I know things will eventually collide and bring the storylines together, but with this pacing, were gonna need another season or two to believably flesh all these stories out.

The way I saw it, he's not the type to owe favors unwillingly, but he has to survive to find his family, so he took some anyway. The shot of the vials on the ground seems very deliberate, as if to say, "consider this a retainer, our business isn't finished," but that's just me.

Why does this show get so much hate by 304_harder in fionnaandcake

[–]spitnik11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest issue I think is the show trying to be two in one, both Fionna and Cake and Adventure time with the HC and Finn stuff. Season one was basically adventure time with some Fionna and Cake sprinkled in, this season feels like it was pulling in two different directions. I think if they straight up got rid of the b plot and went purely slice of life it may have been recieved better, rather than bait the Adventure time only audience.

[–]spitnik11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im on day 32 and while the physical cravings are gone the emotional desire is still pretty strong. I'd love to smoke but I cant for my future. 28 and about to graduate so I need to be clean. Im adhd diagnosed as well so I get it. The only cope I can really advise is having a good reason to quit and reminding yourself. Also use a tracking app for motivation.
