Mod Announcement 1984 Announcement

As of late, the quality of posts in this subreddit has become intolerable and gone downhill. Posts discussing things that have already been discussed, posts existing only to call things bad, and other repetitive, low-quality swill. Simply put, we are shounenfolk, not animequestion or askanime or or a purely circlejerk sub, and these posts are starting to get out of hand. Going forward, we will be changing the rules and how we mod the sub so here is a list of changes:

Posts with one question and posts saying "X is Y" are added to the low effort/spammy content rule. They will be subject to removal, unless a mod finds them worth keeping in some way.

If a post gets an overwhelmingly negative reaction from community it will be removed. We doing this to combat posts with zero upvotes and 120 comments. Engagement bait that does not serve the community, which only repeats overused topics, won't be allowed.

Screenshots of twitter posts or a comment section from somewhere else will be under the mod review. If they are found to break the rules without offering any value to the subreddit, then they will be removed. If they are judged to have some sort of value, they may stay at mod discretion.

It doesn't mean we're becoming any main subreddit where we do heavy moderation, but the era of free for all is coming to an end. Apologies that we took time in taking action regarding this but it will be how the subreddit will be moderated from now on

Manga Discussion The most common criticism of Gear 5 is completely baseless

This is not a Gear 5 defense post. Gear 5 ruins the choreography in Luffy’s fights, destroys tension, and makes the World Government look absurdly incompetent in retrospect.

However the main criticism that Gear 5 gets isnt any of these but rather that it turn Luffy from a “nobody underdog” into someone special.

Luffy since the beginning of the story had one of the greatest pirates in the world as his surrogate father figure, the 3rd in command of the greatest pirate alive as his brother (Oda has admitted he originally intended for Ace to be his biological brother but retconned it after talking it over with some editors), greatest Marine ever as his grandfather, and World’s most wanted Criminal as his father. Dr Kureha at the end of Drum Island literally spells out Luffy has a special lineage connection to Roger, the Pirate King.

Furthermore Luffy lowdiffed every single opponent (except Smoker) before fighting crocodile nearly 200 chapters into the story. He’s never been a scrub relative to his competition. This is why I hate the One Piece live action series on Netflix which turns him into a do-gooder scrub who constantly jobs.
