why are people seething at this ?
the manga was literally recommended by kishimoto, that's the only reason it's there.
"parasitic marketing" shut up man
I can't believe it needs to be said, but depicting the conventions of monarchies/nobilities is not endorsing them. Oda already condemned arranged marriages by showing Harald's betrothment to Estrid destroying his family.
the worst part of irony poisoning wrt fiction is that some people genuinely can’t reconcile a story being fantastical in terms of its narrative while at the same time being thematically and emotionally down to earth
