[QUOTE=dgg;27098293]You're a funny one.
Mainstream = The general audience likes it = It's most likely pretty clichè and bad and just re-uses formulas that are bound to be success rather than trying to be good on it's own, by being goddamn original and not just feeding the mass with shit they know will sell.
If it's something that "everyone will like" it means it's something that's made based on the broadest appriciation possible, and it's developed around pleasing as many as possible. This means it doesn't have the guts to do something people will dislike. This is why important characters won't die, and it's also why they drag out fighting scenes and makes lots of cliffhangers about the possible death of important characters, but woopdedoo they come back because if not they would lose a lot of audience because they got pissed off at their favorite character disappearing and won't be seen for the next 1723 episodes to come.

Most of that doesn't seem to be the case with One Piece. Sure Oda was inspired to to make OP mainly by Dragonball but it doesn't seem to steal much from it at all.
The important character thing is untrue as well because 1 very important character WILL die later in the series. (I'm talking about the anime here, he already died in the manga)
[QUOTE=dgg;27098463]Oh yeah, I forgot that, he said that after he found out it was you.
Still I don't see why you freak out like that.[/QUOTE]
Well, it may not appeal to you, but regardless if it is the internet or real life I want people to think that I am more than just a lolicon, I am a human being I want to be respected by those who I talk and interact with everyday, like you guys, and to think that someone has such a terrible impression of me such as being some sort of a freak who masturbates to figurines is just too insulting, it is beyond being an ass, it is like it was meant to blatantly insult me for no reason and not just tease me.
There is no need to overthink it and go into complicated descriptions, really, it just doesn't feel nice.

Wait so what exactly does this contain? Is it just commentary or is it the alternate ending episode too?
[QUOTE=NotMeh;27097908]Why is mainstream regarded to as crap anyway?
Mainstream = lots of people like it = It must be good.[/QUOTE]
mainstream = made 4 times per month = always on TV = not unwatchable because of taking prime time
= shite

RaptorRed, even if this was the case, if you were like that, I don't think would not judge you for it. Really, you are overreacting, sure it could be taken as an insult, but hey, it was a joke, wasn't it? I don't think zero would make the joke unless he feels like he knows you enough to think you'd accept it as a joke. Because that's all it was, a joke amongst friends.

Wow, they will possibly kill off ONE character. Oh my God, you're just proving my point.
They've killed off one character in Naruto as well after what I've heard. That doesn't mean it's getting better, it just proves that it's pretty fucking dumb when they've used powers strong enough to ruin earths 505030 times and yet only one good person has been killed off by it. The fact that you can only mention one fucking person proves how fucking stupid it is.
Most of that is the case with One Piece. They just do the same shit over and over and over again. It's just about battling, sailing to a new island, talk a bit and battle again more or less. It's not like they'll ever get to the fucking place they want to go to. The earth they are sailing on is bigger than the sun, at least that's how they make it be with the journey they're going on.

In that sort of case I don't get offended, I can't force you to dislike the joke, and if you found it funny and you laughed then sure, whatever, I am cool with that, if that sort of jokes make you laugh then by all means do laugh (I am not being sarcastic here)
And I can't force zero to not make such jokes in the future, he can do whatever he wants he doesn't have to listen to me and I am not in a position to tell him what to do and what not to do all I can do is ask for him to stop, it is up to him to do what he likes, I can only try to put my thoughts into letters and leave it to him to do what he wants, in the case where I find one of his jokes offensive while it is aimed at me and then ask him to not make such jokes in the past it is completely up to him to try to understand/fathom what I had said, if he thinks that what he did is indeed wrong after hearing what I have to say and he decides to stop then, my words got to him if not then he can feel free to point and laugh at me and mock me as much as he wants of course that will not make me like him more but it shouldn't matter. Maybe his goal is to get others to like him more by mocking said person, the cost for it would be for said person to dislike zero and others to like him.
Really there is no point discussing this any further as we don't want this to turn into some sort of a drama.

You're the one turning into a drama. Especially after using half of FP's capacity to say "I can't tell Zerothefallen what to do and what not to do, I can only ask him to, then it's up to him what he does with it" then at the end you trash talk him for no reason but to cause a fight.
[QUOTE=RaptorRed;27098956]You masturbate to figurines?[/QUOTE]
If you want me to.
I prefer shoving them up my ass tho.

I don't trash talk to him, zero is p cool guy, that joke is the only thing that I didn't like, thats all.
Actually, I lied, I don't even have figurines, but I don't take it you masturbate to them either? That means the joke is just as related to you as it is to me, making it so that it makes just as much sense when it's pointed at me, except I can take jokes about myself easier. But if people started being serious about it, THAT'S when I would have a problem
