Imo it's different when people like star wars fans say "what stars fans hate the most are star wars fans" this is true but not from Misinformation & not watching the movies etc. It's that the fans are literally divided by trilogy, series,etc. That makes sense, but I keep seeing people who are jojo fans calling non jojo fans, jojotards, I find it really odd why people are doing this & I blame terrible memes people make about how bad "jojo fans" are, & this makes jojo fans think they aren't a fan because calling yourself a fan of jojo = annoying ignorant fool, now, it's very sad.

The Dio example is just depressing. Really puts into perspective how people aren't taught even basic critical thinking skills, where they can't wrap their minds around something as simple as "a name can have multiple meanings an author chose it for".

[@HabitualThinker]

One of the worst things I’ve come across is the lack of critical thinking some fans have. Such as “Dio said hermit purple was the weakest stand how could it also be survivor?!” Or just the fact that jojo fans misname things all the time such as calling “THE WORLD” (Diego’s the world’s name is all caps to differentiate it from regular the world) to things like “the world high voltage” or calling Jonathan’s stand “the passion.” Sorry for the rant

[@NotTsurugi]

@@HabitualThinker the "The World High Voltage" thing is something with the Roblox JoJo community. Such as calling it "The World Alternate Universe". That's another big issue as well. A considerable amount of the JoJo community comes from the sheer amount of games there are for it on Roblox. Some of which get 100k Concurrent players. With Roblox's young community I can see most of the issues coming from a bunch of kids who don't actually watch the show. That's also where things such as the idea of a "Requiem Arrow" come from.

[@IggysEden]

Only in the JoJo community could you ask a person to cite their sources and they give you a meme video in return. Also part skipping is insane to me. Like even with 7 and 8 that take place in different "worlds", they are still heavily influenced by what came before so skipping any part is missing out on the overall JoJo lore or context. Which would explain how a lot of "fans" don't really seem to understand the series.

[@GBDupree]

I can understand reading 7 after 4, since I did that and understood the contexts and influences of the previous parts since 7 doesn't really have references to 5 and 6 (which I was aware of the references ending there ahead of time), and also because at the time I literally couldn't find a good source of the entirety of part 5 (and they were ALL the infamously bad translations). But now that both the anime and the "Jojo's colored adventure" scans exist, there is no reason or need to skip. However, I will agree that skipping or reading out of order can affect your enjoyment even if you technically could. Afterall, Part 7 is considered the best part, so reading 5 and 6 afterwards can make them seem less good in comparison, simply due to Araki becoming a better writer over time. But really, they are just as good overall, they aren't "worse" parts, he was still a great writer even then, but its all perception since 7 is seen as so special, a magnum opus in comparison. Perhaps I would have loved part 6 more if it wasn't the last one I read before starting part 8 (and therefore being caught up). Or perhaps it would all be the same as now regardless. But its best to just not skip so that you don't potentially ruin your enjoyment.

The guy seemed to think that his ability was to just change people's internal structures completely, basically he turned Yoyo man's brain into a frog without the frog. And therefore he didn't have phasing powers. But nothing that I can remember supports that. He doesn't only affect internal organs for one, he can even affect non living things too. But he can't just look at someone's kidney and say it's a liver now and it magically becomes one. But he can take out the kidney and put someone else's liver in that spot for instance.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

This is why I am annoyed when I see KZbinrs get facts wrong about a certain series I know and/or like because I know they'll have their subscribers thinking the same bullshit they do. I have even been a victim of this when I watched Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation do a video on one of my favorite games, Bioshock 2. He was super critical of it and clearly didn't like it and I took his words to heart so the next time I played it I was like "He was right, this is shit" though thankfully I gave it another shot after playing through the first so I learned all his issues were bullshit. Still, the fact that it happened to me, and I had played it before (and have had incorrect memories of other series I like) makes me worried about big KZbinrs saying incorrect things because misinformation about stuff will spread through their subscribers. I wish people with huge followings would be more careful with what they say but I guess they take it as not being capable of making a mistake instead of that they have to be extra careful.

"Narrowing down the search" when you have a question on a part you read is very useful in online discussion.

It helps a LOT when discussing the series to verify claims, and I see people posting exact excerpts on the subreddit and stuff a lot, which are usually taken from that site. Obviously, Jojo is a manga, but as you say there are sites which allow you to narrow it down. Definitely useful in discussions, and people should do this.

I've just finished 4th Another Day. Really good novel, the only drawback was THE AUTHOR BEING SO FUCKING SALTY ABOUT JOSUKE'S SAVIOR'S "DROPPED" PLOT POINT. Like, he literally makes characters inside the novel remark how it was "supposed" to be a time travel thingy (one of them saying "It would be like travelling in the past to save your younger self from a snowstorm"), writes a note after explaining to the reader Josuke's backstory to explain that he was so fucking disappointed that the plot point was never resolved, and one of the focal points in the final battle was this guy luring in Josuke by telling him he could find his saviour if he let him alive, just to distract our man at the end by saying "Yeah but what if that guy was you going back in time for some reason?".

I've never really got why people thought Araki would've done a full blown time travel plot.

Then I sat down, read it, and I enjoyed everything people said was bad about it. The ending isn't even confusing if you read it while paying attention. I got it the first time through. About part skipping I remember getting into an argument about it. They said it was okay to skip whole parts and episodes that they deemed as filler. I asked them "If you were reading a long series of novels would you start at Book 3 or skip chapters you didn't like?". They didn't answer. Why watch/read a long running series if you're not going to dedicate yourself to it? The example I like to use is how people critique Naruto for having a lot of filler. This is a valid criticism of the series but if anime filler bothers you so much the manga exists as an alternative. Another alternative is to watch shorter series with little to no filler at all. A 12-24 episode long show can be just as good as a 700+ episode series. I would never advise skipping filler to people just getting into a series for the first time because personally I enjoy watching everything a show has to offer, even the stories that don't advance the main plot. In my opinion they are still stories worth experiencing.

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

Some fillers can be interesting too.

[@crystalalumina]

Part skipping is just so nonsensical, I completely understand if, for example you didn't know Metal Gear Solid 3 happens before Metal Gear Solid 1, but in JoJo every part is in chronological order and even numbered, why think is a good idea to watch "Part 3: stardust crusaders" before "part 1: phantom blood", and then some of them say that is cuz is the best part the story, like what? If you were watching Star Wars, would you skip A New Hope just because you heard Empire Strikes Back is better? If you're so not interested about the story just don't watch it

[@GBDupree]

Not only that, but the new viewer CANNOT know if an episode is filler ahead of time anyways. Since they have no prior knowledge of the series' storyline. So, there is no way a new viewer of Jojo could know what parts are "skippable" unless told to them by someone else. And anyone who thinks any part is skippable is not someone who knows what they are talking about. So that's why its dangerous when someone says to skip things, if someone trusts them they could end up messing up their experience of the series in a bad way.

[@nathancollins1715]

It's a bitter thing to say, but at the end of the day it boils down to this: a very sizeable portion of Jojo fans are very young or very dumb, or both. Every anime fandom attracts these kinds of people, but for Jojo in particular they're pushed to the forefront of dialogue because of two major factors: First, the complexity and zaniness of the series in terms of plotting, references, etc. makes it easy for a "fan of the fandom" to get caught up in the web, to the point that they'll believe pretty much anything they hear and will not cross-check the source material, either due to laziness or due to the fact that they never consumed it in the first place. I think some people actually LIKE being confused about Jojo, and treat the series as a joke because of this. These people do not worry about consistency or finer plot elements unless they can formulate a meme about them, which only exacerbates the issue. Secondly, and this is something I've noticed about the Internet in general, not just Jojo: younger generations do not make habitual use of search engines. Seriously, they just don't. Ask your ten year old nephew if he can answer a question for you on the Internet, and he'll probably stare at you blankly before trying to find a KZbin video or Reddit post to answer it, using only the search functions on those respective sites. KZbin and other social media has totally supplanted the "information gathering" stage of Internet use, and consequently the information pool for these types of fans appears dramatically shrunk. When confronted with misinformation about Jojo, they would rather ask somebody in the KZbin comment section to support or refute that claim (never a good idea) than simply take a few moments to look it up for themselves. I can't tell you how many times I've been berated on this site and others for asking people who pose dumb questions in comment sections "why not just look it up?" Because that really is the simplest solution to this problem of misinformation. All you have to do is ask the person who makes the claim if they can provide a source, and if they can't, it's probably completely made up.

[@emblemblade9245]

I’ll admit, I’m not a young person but I was never very good at using search engines and still am not.

This is great! Not just for Jojo but fictional media in general. Araki forgot may be a meme in Jojo but that doesn't mean misinfo is prevalent in other fandoms! Everyone should know this video!

[@koheletcalaforexclan6508]

I couldn’t imagine skipping a single part of Jojo! They’re all majestic in their own rights! So much so that though arguably some may be better, to me they all stand at the same level of epic bizarreness! I think not one part is awful! Part 5 was Incredibly Bizarre though but, that’s why I read it! It’s in the name!

[@Sosavelli]

I heard Araki say that he based Jotaro off of me in an interview

[@godaberi]

now way.. you must be awesome

[@porksoda9359]

I've been following you since forever and I really have to thank you for correcting misinformation as effectively as you do it's seriously crazy how many JoJo fans just didn't understand or straight up didn't read, just insane

[@kurtis2awsome]

The BIGGEST misinformation I ever got was the story that Araki was forced to change Anasui's gender because they didn't want a lesbian romance with a protagonist. I believed that for so long. Also hot take: if fans want to read part 7, just read it. You don't need to read part's 1-6 to understand the plot. With that said; you miss out a lot of callbacks and references to previous parts.

[@coreopsis6163]

People get so up in arms about part skipping, as if the purpose of reading or watching is to be able to have discussions about it in its entirety, instead of just being to enjoy a show/manga. I think parts 1 and 3 are important context for 7, but if you're not going to read it in good faith and absorb what's going on, you're not helping anyone by forcing yourself to skim through it. Just understand that it's a series and the more you skip the further your experience will be from the author's intention and you might miss important context.

Pucci brothers skin color misinformation from many becoming over sensitive with such topics. Carefully reading and remembering what took place would have clear up the matter.

[@il3fortunato664]

The first manga I've read was part 7 (I watched the Anime through 1 to 5 when p6 wasn't animated yet and also I've read part 6 before anime. And yet I believe that part 6 is really a good part and I love it, well not so much than p7 but still a good part.

[@CloutmasterPhluphyy]

The funniest part about that is the fact Araki had already put 2 gay couples in the part before

[@yassirbeniaz6645]

@@CloutmasterPhluphyy but none of these gay characters are part of the main group so this dont count

[@giorgiofederico5992]

You literally work as my inner voice, pointin out all i think about JoJo and its fandom, with my same passion Thanks for that

[@coreopsis6163]

The amount of patience you have as such an active member of the fandom is nothing less than godlike.
