But in all seriousness, the reaction from Japanese One Piece fans to people using the Straw Hat Jolly Roger in protests has been genuinely pissing me off. So many of them are more concerned about people bringing One Piece into real-life politics, calling it dangerous rhetoric and worrying that the series could get banned in certain countries, than they are about WHY people are even using it in the first place.

And I think this perfectly highlights the disconnect between Japanese fans and international fans. For some of them, One Piece is a manga they love and want to protect from controversy. For a lot of us, its themes of oppression, corruption, government tyranny and the fight for freedom hit a little closer to home. Some of us have lived through these things. Some of us have watched our families and loved ones suffer and die because of corrupt governments and injustice.

They can afford to treat these themes as fiction because they don’t necessarily have to relate them to their own reality. But when people who have experienced these things firsthand see the Straw Hat flag as a symbol of resistance and freedom, why is they’re first reaction to police how other fans use it rather than understand why it resonates with them in the first place?

And that’s what bothers me. Instead of trying to understand why people from completely different backgrounds see themselves in this story, they’re dismissing it as dangerous political rhetoric that might get one piece banned in these countries

Ankita Bhandari, Hathras, Unnao, Kathua, Bilkis Bano-in all these rape cases we have men either associated or sheltered by the BJP doing the most heinous crimes against children, teenage girls and women. Sangh is no different than its Amriki-Zionist masters in the Epstein list.

Una cosa que saben detectar bien los franceses es a los infiltrados de verdad que huelen a pasma. No se ataca a trabajadores nunca y quien lo hace es una basura. Los mismos manifestantes le linchan por atacar a los bomberos.

I don’t understand why the police are so obsessed with women.

They beat them as if they were national threats.

Dear Police, karma hits back harder than you can imagine.

सुनो @ABPNews अपने कर्मचारियों से फ़ोन करवाकर माफ़ी माँगना बंद करो. माफ़ी गलती की माँगी जाती है बदमाशी की नहीं. मेरे बारे में अफ़वाह उड़ा कर तुम IT सेल को स्क्रीनशॉट मुहैया करा रहे थे? तुम्हारी इस घटिया हरक़त से मेरी छवि और गरिमा को जो ठेस पहुँची है उसकी कोई माफ़ी नहीं है.😡

“Déjenme morir”, dice la fotorreportera del Washington Post cuando la vuelven a atacar después de golpearla durante 10 minutos.

Esta vez gana visibilidad por el medio de la periodista. Es la realidad cotidiana en Cisjordania, donde reina el terror.

독일인들도 어쩌다가 독일에서 태어났는데 나치역사 끊임없이 배우고 나치시절에 대해 내가 뭘잘못? 이라고 안하잖아. 너에게 좋은 글귀가있네? 85년 독일 대통령의 말이야. 젊은 세대는 과거에 일어난 일에 책임이 없다. 그러나 그 과거가 역사 속에서 어떻게 다루어질 것인지에 대해서는 책임이 있다

If a woman speaks against Modi, no institution in this country will ever protect her dignity. Instead, Modi will now reward ABP News now more than ever. This is the only way to show loyalty towards him.

このツイートの何が怖いって、この人がベトナム人やパキスタン人、そしてムスリムとリアルで会ったことも実害を被ったこともないのに、強い憎悪を一方的に抱いている点だ。実体験なき一方的な敵意は、大日本帝国時代にアメリカ人と中国人を一方的に憎悪していた、かつての国民の心理と同質なんだよな。

Delhi Police is hitting a new low every day.

एक आदमी ने महिला कैमरामैन के साथ छेड़छाड़ की जब लड़की ने पुलिस से उसके खिलाफ कार्रवाई करने को कहा तो उन्होंने उसे पुलिस स्टेशन जाने को कहा और उस आदमी को जाने दिया।

दिल्ली पुलिस का शांति, सेवा, न्याय !!

La policía francesa ha dejado sin dientes a una estudiante con una granada, ha amputado la mano de un chico, ha dejado sin ojo a otro, ha ahogado a otro, ha violado a una estudiante en comisaría.

Y nos quieren hacer creer que los “bárbaros” son quienes protestan.
