it's a big ask for anyone so I'd recommend, if they're open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I'd make the argument that's the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.

If it is, I'd encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it's mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it's over 20 years syndication), the animation isn't quite consistent.

I have more to say but wouldn't want to overwhelm you but essentially it's small steps and you'll see what the fuss is about, especially since we're nearing the endgame.

does this imply that most communists are quite large?

Off topic but I found Another Crab's Treasure to be the perfect game to ease back into the genre. It has several modifiers to make it the experience more accesible such as increasing the parry window, removing dropping resources, and even giving Kril a gun - 10/10 experience would fish again

Thank you, truly! For the changes but the effort! I usually love aggregated data and lists and see what is generally favored (and have fun disagreement) but having the title implying certainity in "must see" soured me being able to enjoy the data for what it is.

Again, thank you! (cheek in tongue but Better Call Saul is a must watch for me if you're interested in the pinnacle of character-driven drama and greek myth-like self fulfilling prophecies)

Resisting the temptation to pile on, but a title change away from the cringey-redditbait-title into something like "100 most popular shows based on aggregated data" would: 1. more accurate 2. show the amount of effort put in and 3. emphasis that this is based on collected data and not a definitive list.

This is fantastic work but that cringe title and it's implications are really holding you back.

I mean I'd imagine they'd say that a common theme with your character's is valid misgrievances with authority, especially perceived as incompetent and evil — hence deserving of retribution for disrespecting your character's natural peace.

At the very least, a therapist would identify whether you generally perceive threats/issues as internal or external - or your PCs have ultimately external threats and want to rectify that while other people's PC (like my own) usually have internally-derived

Women aren't genetically more empathetic than men; the way power has been traditionally distributed since civilisation began, it has always been the burden of women to understand men. —Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A hopeful history

Reminded me of this excerpt from a somewhat optimisitic but delightful read about how the transition from ~~hunter-gatherer~~ nomadic/"the commons" to agricultural/private property created numerous cascading effects — one of which was how women went from active equal members (yes, even hunting) to being secondary members and essentially property. Women, even to this day, have the onus to understand men/others while men have historically had the expectation to not understand women or others.
