@XenoxGrafite Te amo, amigo. Se cuida.

As a Japanese... Non-Japanese fans are insufferable. They don't watch/buy the anime officially. They don't buy official merch supporting the creators/company. They buy 3rd party merch from China or Etsy and call themselves "true fans" and act like they are part of the community

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

@xdrlftx Mas tudo que mostrei aí é oficial tá? Só é bem mais caro do que devia ser 😭😭😭😭 hahaha.

Mas obrigado por entender meu lado aqui! Valeu!!!

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@XenoxGrafite Desejo tudo de bom para você e seu país, meu amigo. Me desculpe por ter sido tão rude online. Tenho certeza de que na vida real seríamos bons amigos 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 😤🙌

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@XenoxGrafite Sinto muito que você não consiga comprar produtos oficiais para apoiar o artista e a empresa que ajuda a dar vida ao trabalho dele. Eu entendo a sua intenção, e você é um fã de verdade. Não vou mais falar em nome de outras pessoas. , isso já é mais do que suficiente pra mim! 🇧🇷♥

@XenoxGrafite que compram as revistas semanais e enviam os cupons de votação pelo correio usando um endereço residencial japonês legítimo, têm influência direta sobre quais mangás continuam sendo publicados e quais são cancelados.

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@XenoxGrafite esperança de que seus mangás favoritos, publicados semanalmente, não sejam cancelados.

Eu sei que a maior comunidade japonesa fora do Japão está no Brasil. Sei que isso é injusto, mas a realidade é que pessoas como eu,

@xdrlftx If that’s the way it works then fair, just keep buying it so we can enjoy masterpieces. As a Japanese you should be proud that you have some great storytellers acclaimed all around the world and thus influencing them in their daily lives. And I think that was his point.

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

shit, as a Japanese I keep forgetting one piece "fans" don't even read the manga or know nothing about Japanese Culture or manga/anime culture in general. They get to enjoy the top 0.01% of successful manga artists and LARP online. Artists like ODA battle it OUT weekly on SJ???

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

they dont realize buying Shonen jump in Japan and voting weekly for certain manga's literally keeps anime/manga's alive or prevents them from getting axed, forget the merch. What is everyone talking about?? There's a weekly mail-in voting system if a manga gets canceled or not?

[Tokugawa @CarloJet15259]

@xdrlftx Just proving his point btw

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@eustassluvr I love rage-baiting and fishing for comments that prove my point

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

It's Non-Japanese 'fans' like this that bully manga authors for not creating certain characters or taking the story in a certain direction. Giving $0 to the author, claiming "they're true fans" and go crazy online. Kei Urana (author of Gachiakuta) is a prime example 🥱

@xdrlftx Being a fan of something isn't measured by the money you've spent and merch you have, thats a rotted corporate mindset.

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@therealumikyuu Just say ur poor 🤣🤣🤣

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@strainedButtons Nice try lil' bro 🤣🤣🤣

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

@OokamiKieli fairs😔👌(i cant argue with that)

[xdrift.x @xdrlftx]

You have no idea what you're talking about, its kinda sad lil' bro. Fandom in Japan is about official merch and how much you support the artists. its called "Oshikatsu" (推し活) or (オタク). You're commenting on actual fandom culture in Japan that's been long standing.

[z 🇮🇶🍉 @Z_OPNA]

Calling international fans "insufferable" while ignoring the fact that official merchandise is rarely distributed globally is ridiculous. When we do try to buy official merch directly from Japan, shipping and import fees make it 3 to 5 times more expensive than the item itself. Supporting independent artists on Etsy or buying what's locally accessible isn't "fake fandom" it's a necessity created by Japanese companies failing to serve their global fanbase. Fandom isn't a wealth contest.

She's so pretty! So what's going on here - how do you get something like this in Roblox? You start with a relatively simple kitbashed model, add lots of points of articulation, mix in procgen'd animation, and finally add my new favorite tech - procgen'd paint damage! #robloxdev
