Alot of people still do. Not just youtubers that cling to that tardation.
Oh I know, I had a collision about this with a buddy who is usually pretty chill but sometimes drinks too much of the Kool Aid... That people consider the "I am Oden" as a declaration of identity, and not as a shitpost to how fanboying gets very weird after a point shows how trannyrotted our society's brain is. If Oden was a 3 legged sea emperor with 8 tits, Yamato would say it as well without a hint of irony, that's the joke, that the WHY she does it have a reason and backstory is just classic Oda using a gag to set up a character (Senior Pink being the prime example of this, you aren't to think "his story is sad, I should dress as a baby!", you are to think "fuck, so that's what makes a dapper guy devolve into a funny fat baby man". Yet with Yamato it is taken is "he's a man!" instead of "whoa, she really admired Oden and hated her father that much to start cosplaying as him"). Sanji being told by Yamato that "he is Kaido's son" and going with it isn't "TWANS WIGHTS, how progressive is Oda!" It's Sanji humoring a beautiful woman because that's what he has always done.
Going through that Sanji gushing session was also fascinating since it's 2 people from the church of woke that love a character that is "problematic" by every single metric of their religion, but doing pretzels rolls to justify it. "HE SNIFFED PERONA, THAT'S A NONO!", it's a joke dumbasses, it's to really hit home that being in tranny hell for years made him go beyond his usual level of horniness and that joke jumped the shark with the blood loss in mermaid island.
Sorry for the politisperging, but western collectives jamming their values into places they don't fit or make sense always drive me up a wall. Oda having an Okama friend that he based Ivankov on as well as the Rocky horror picture show, doesn't instantly translate to him endorsing the western mental illnes, he thinks he's a wierdo, but an alright guy at the end of the day. Bon chan is a good guy AND a wierdo. If anything Oda falls in the whole "live and let live" sort of philosophy.
Not the only guy to do it( Tekking, Randy Troy, merphy, Dr Philip Chase, Amber alise,more etc).
Thankfully, I have no idea who any of these people are. My closest shave with the fandom is when I do the rounds in websites to get others impressions from the latest chapter and that's it and for the most part is just some healthy fanboying. I did get curious about some OP theories and watched a few videos, noticed they are spinning yarn out of thin air and passed on it in general and am happier for it.
IIRC, the Gorosei were pissed when Luffy’s wanted poster showed him in Gear 5, and I think Morgan even said he was going against orders because the truth shouldn’t be suppressed. An interview might happen if Luffy keeps making noise and wrecking shit, and Vivi wants to make a big(ger) statement.
Makes you wonder if Morgan learned about the x mark and signed off on it if Vivi actually did add it to the picture.
I imagine Morgans just played dumb with the gear 5 pictures. Better say "you are sorry" than ask for permission and all of that. He probably saw that, shit out an egg and prepped that wanted poster to go out NOW NOW NOW! And when the Government noticed that birdman was fucking around it was too late. Morgans has plausible deniability to bullshit his way into not getting nucked. Also, If the Gorosei suddenly lose their shit too hard about that poster, it would make it even more tantalizing to investigate and as far as the common reader goes, they would just think that the scary emperor kid just dyed his hair. Of course, saying "vegapunk was killed by the demon lords that are your betters" would go beyond the invisible line that keeps Morgans operation acceptable in the government and he would be hunted down like a dog then and there, which is why I expect he's keeping that card close to his chest till things get wackier.
I think either Vivi sneaked it in and Morgans allowed it or Vivi requested to do it and Morgans allowed it in his interest of keeping tabs on the Mugis and probably letting Vivi think she got one over him/owes him. I doubt he knows what the X is in the context of the Straw hats or joyboy, but just knowing that an old ally of Luffy wants to send a message is probably enough for him to let it fly.
We should have been assholes instead of gushing about when others get into the series and wait till those get to their arcs to gush about the series for.
