Was one piece really that disrespectful or is it just a VERY unpopular (and sometimes wrong) opinion?

[@johnmark7968]

@@martineugene3864People had been calling him out for his behavior outside of KZbin for a long time now. Like how he tried the prevent the appearance of a shojo manga author in a dubbed and was very disrespectful about the genre in general. He also twisted a character to become more transphobic in the dub. Moreover, based on his tweets on Twitter, his jokes in “so this is basically” were his genuine opinions and not him trying to be funny.

[@DevilSpade]

@LabRatz-Ivor the story is still good but the creator is in a pickle so just think of it like hazbin hotel or sumthin

[@jgv6323]

​@LabRatz-Ivor basically he made an awful video on One Piece filled with missinformation about the show and its creator, like when he accused the show for being sexist because one of the female characters, who isn't a fighter, doesn't fight a lot, or when he said a bunch of characters aren't important to the plot, like Franky, even though the crew would be stuck in Water 7 if it weren't for him. There are a lot more but there are already a lot of videos showing every missinformation he spread in that video. Oh yeah he also wished death on One Piece's creator on his discord server, yet he still wants us to feel bad for him because a couple of people sent him death threats

Fun Fact: Canonically (answered outside the show grumble grumble) people forget how to use their epithet while the handcuffs are on, even if they know what it is!

[@dutchguy977]

And in anime campaign they did give a reason for it, the cuffs are created by someone with an epithet that can alter memories. also yeah someone else could remind you what your epithet is but as I recall the effect of the handcuffs triggers every thirty seconds meaning you constantly forget it anyway

HI. HI. I'M SO LATE BUT THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST VIDEO EVER MADE. i was such a hardcore fan of AC right from the episode 3 stream in 2016, and it felt SO incredible to see talk on EE from someone who "read the manga". i don't have anything to say to this except that all of your takes are objectively based and correct, and that your tiny jerichos are ADORABLE. i love that little guy. hope he's doing okay where-ever he is. ... also, since nobody else is going to say it, i LOVE YOU for the manga-referenced characters. regrettably, slim and xerxes were literally my two favourite characters back during AC, and considering how neither of them are even remotely going to be on the show, it was such a moment of joy to see them being mentioned. one more thing.
