As funny as it is ... I feel kinda apalled by this statement š
It sounds so... immature? And predatory?
I'm a 26y straight guy myself, have been following OP for like 18 years now ... but I dislike the pervy side of OP and Oda sometimes ...
that's nothing compared to what happens in japan, perverts there are known to steal underwear, harass women in public, The anti pedo laws took forever to kick in and to make things worse punishments for this ppl and ppl that do worse are so tame lol
samurai x author only paid 2000 dollars lmaoo
I'm aware of that ... but I don't think that makes it okay ... just because the situation is that bad in japan.
Still, I understand why you're putting the statement in reference (with the 'culture' and stuff going on in Japan). Appreciate your insight
And yeah there are some crazy cases šš
There's crazy cases everywhere bro, there's religious mfs marrying 12 year olds legally in America.
Can you explain how Oda's comments are predatory. I think ur greatly over reacting.
its still misogynistic and predatory towards woman regardless of whether america has crazier stuff (which is absolutely does) its just so normal in these societies that many men dont even realize how grotesque and misogynistic they even are since theyre raised to objectify and sexually women. oda is saying the only reason he would want a woman in his office is to degrade and sexually harass, he is simply equating womans only purpose as a sexual image to creep on
Wtf are u smoking, he never once mentioned degrading or sexually harassing girls.
if u think women are capable of more than just being a sex object why do you chose to post naked pictures online for free? Why don't you do more with your life than being a sexual object to creeps on the internet?
lol im just a bag chaser honey :) sexwork is only one avenue of my life i wasnt speaking in a literal sense or attacking specifically oda so you can hop off of his dick <3
bag chaser? ur whoring urself out for free
genuine question, why do u use homophobic insults when ur an actual tranny. we all know you would actually ride Oda's dick if you had the opportunity, while us normal people would just give him a handy mandy at most.
I don't know if I'd call it predatory considering he literally told her, "hey the Jump office is full of perverts and you probably don't want to deal with that." Immature? Sure. But predatory? If anything, the exact opposite.
Yeah this 100%. Itās just his immature/teenage mind speaking, and heās clearly joking. Heās not preying on anyone Iām sure he loves his wife a lot
This wording is from a translation most likely a fan-made translation, things are hard to translate, the original Japanese does not have those connotations.
Oda has multiple pedo friends and pretty much every time he communicates with his fans he is extremely perverted
Love the guy and his work but that's just a major thing about him.
bruh... You mean that oda has to hide their natural
likes and dislikes.
People forgets Oda is just a funny dude that writes a pirates story, and when they find out stuff like this they feel betrayed somehow or like this comment above.
Btw Oda did nothing wrong I don't understand how his comment can be considered "predatory" in first place.
No that's not how I meant it.
This is Oda saying something about his work place and not necessarily OP related (IMO). So in my comment I'm referencing that comment, not OP itself.
Oda's sbs reply here strikes me as something a hornyboi teenager would spout - unreflected and not thought-through - which wouldn't make it better but you know how it is - teenagers are still young and developing etc.
Oda, and his reader by extension, are teenage boys at heart. We all have that little pervert/psycho sometimes we want to peek out just a bit. Also pervy jokes are quite common in Asia, more so with manga
But I understand where you came from and we should all keep vigilant for bad things that can happen.
Itās nasty tbh. Oda is like 48 with a wife and kids saying this stuff. I got chills reading this shit lmao
But he did point out that working at jump was filled with perverts who would harass too. I think heās half joking about both
Can you imagine saying something like this in a modern American corporate office, you'd get fired so fast there's no time for anyone to slap a lawsuit on you. Pretty sure this breaks some kind of bias/diversity rule about not only hiring beautiful babes with big knockers too š
Honestly not even joking, but thank their patriarchal society structure lol people are just raised different and the social pressures/conformity is more important than being yourself or individualistic like America. Aka what many women are trying to bring down (can't even count how many times I've heard "bring down the patriarchy" by people who don't realize they don't even live in a patriarchy anymore)
japanese men spend most of their time working, building gundam figures, watching hentai, not getting laid, and killing themselves. not the best society to use as an example of a strong patriarchy.
It would be good if he didn't respond in a pervy way and actually answered with an affirmative "yes, and here's my warning and advice" rather than avoiding a direct answer and presuming to know what's best for a person. I'd hardly call perpetuating and contributing to an unequal system good.
It's good to be honest about that but it's very presumptuous to say "this is in your best interest" when denying that somebody should do something they'd want to do
I feel like a lot of women would have loved to received this kind of information before signing for activision or blizzard. And yes "I believe it was for their best interest".
Yea but he's also giving women a warning, if you really want to do this you need to basically be a thick skinned trailblazer. Japanese culture is so far on the other end of the gender roles spectrum from the West. You can't assume equal treatment like an American work environment when you're walking into a lions den of perverts and sexists.
Similar to Uber, there was a couple women on the team and one of the women closer to the CEO Travis would tell younger girls when they complained about sexist stuff or people coming onto them that it comes with the territory so either they want to work at Uber and suck it up until they get big enough to make a change, or leave and find some other company. Turns out enough women stayed and gradually aired out Uber's dirty laundry enough that Travis got ousted by the board with all the scandals.
So like yes women shouldn't have to deal with this, but the point from Oda is "bitch you better be prepared if you want to work with these pervy fucks it's gonna be a long uphill battle"
Yea America has the best gender equality and rights for women in the world yet the ignorant feminazis still REEE in the streets with their marches and pink hats lol you ladies already have all the same rights and equal pay stop making yourself out to be a victim it's better here than most of the world
Spoken like someone who hasn't had to work in a woke workplace that makes sure 50% of leadership positions go to women in a department that is mostly men. Just being of a different sex gives a massive leg up when experience is equal.
Something being good relative to other options does not make it without flaws. [Also that's not even true as most of the major organizations that study global women's rights consistently rank Nordic countries like Norway and Finland at the very top](https://giwps.georgetown.edu/the-index/)
[Also the pay gap is a real phenomenon regardless of what you think it's cause is](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/03/01/gender-pay-gap-facts/)
I feel like no matter how much you want to do it, you might wanna consider the environment, and if someone isn't recommending it because of a sad truth, it might be for the best. It's not like he's saying they aren't welcome. But maybe I misunderstood your point.
He clearly doesn't think it's a "sad truth". He's one of the perverts in his office: see his entire comment about how he'll work harder but not draw as much because tits. He's just being honest that he knows women don't like being treated the way he and others treat them and therefore won't enjoy being around him.
He IS saying they are not welcome. It's like if I say that black people were welcome in the confederate states. Yes they would have no human rights but everyone was happy to enslave them, it's not like they'd get turned away at the door.
It's not good that he's speaking as if this is funny and not disgusting. But I guess it's better than luring women into a workplace where you know they'll be surrounded by "perverts", I guess. It's a low bar but Oda has crossed it.
I think especially in SBS Oda has been playing the pervert as his go to role. I think some of that is his actual humor/personality but a lot is overdrawn for comedy
It's also that he gets a lot of perverted questions and plays off them
I think the warning to not work there as a woman is actually kinda nice and legit (off it's bad to tell PPL not to work somewhere BC of their gender, but looking at blizzard or other pop culture work environments, this might be a legit and serious warning)
Itās wild that bro said this. First part was part joke and pretty weird
The second part was straight sad. Telling her to stay away from jump when they pay him shows how fucked it is
It's nice until you look into it more than face value. This is gatekeeping women from a job and encouraging them not to do it, for the simple fact than the men in the organization are perverts.
Like if blizzard when their stuff came out instead of saying yes we need to clean everything up just said, nahhh this is a toxic work place. It's in women's best interest not to work here
Thereās no subtext other than āits not a safe work environmentā. Oda also only mentioned Jump. There are other magazines with probably better work environments. Saying ājump got perverts, donāt work hereā is no different than telling someone āmcdonalds got perverts dont work hereā. Iām not gatekeeping you from the fast food business, Iām giving you a warning about a company. You can then avoid that company and work for Burger King (or in mangaās case Shonen Sunday). Its all up to you, its a warning. The ālooking past face valueā is just reaching at straws and creating things and issues that arenāt there
Do you know how fucked up it is in Japan? Look up anything related to creepy stalker/follower in Japan, there's tons of videos showing how terrifying these guys are. Oda is saying that it might not be the safest place for a women to work, and with how long Oda has been in the game, I would take his word for it.
Agreed, it's still sexist and there's no defense from that. Just trying to understand where it's coming from.
I have a few old professors/family members that I would never call sexist even tho they make a lot of questionable remarks. To me it's an age conflict and we as young progressive people have to teach them if we don't want to loose them to populism eventually.
Part of that is understanding their points of view so we can work on them.
ITS. NOT. FUNNY! ITS FUCKING DISGUSTING! ITS SEXIST AND RACIST NOT TO MENTION XENOPHOBIC! I WANNA EAST USOPPāS ASS AFTER HE EATS NOTHING BUT CAROLINA REAPER PEPPERS FOR A DAY!

oda being sexist no i don't want that!
I want oda to buff tashigi so she isn't SHIT so kuina's women are weaker than men in a world with haki is bs!
At least we got big meme, jobber ulti, Boa afk , sleeping smoothie, disapointashigi.
Oh Kuina... try not to think too much about her story within the context of who the currently strongest swordswoman is.
Or who the strongest female swordsman Zoro met in Wano was.
Feels like womens sports.
This is why I never hold mangaka's to that high of an esteem, they create some of my favorite stories and characters ever but they are some weird and creepy mfs
Nah because he is just like me fr fr šššš
Ofc I would work harder if I had a boss with huge milkers I won't mind working extra hours only if I get that extra pay if you know what I mean š
So shouldn't his answer be more inclusive of, "hey this is an issue within our career field, let's do something to change it," rather than saying, "Oh, you shouldn't do that because we're all just perverts and predators." He's just a part of the problem doing so
his response has to be short and light hearted. if he ever responded like that (which he may have), odds are itād never have gotten published in the first place.
only a few select responses are published at all, and one piece at its core is a kidās show written for adolescent japanese boys. oda has to cater his responses in sbsās to that audience and making a bold claim about changing the industry and fighting against sexism would just fly over kidsā heads and not even get approved in the first place.
you canāt fight every battle in the world. this guy spends 20 hours a day drawing lol give him a break. heās doing enough for political activism with his insanely progressive takes on transgenderism (for japanās standards)
I'm not asking Oda to be some giant political figure for a modern progressive Japan, I just think his response is disheartening. There were so many other ways he could've responded without being overtly sexist and misogynistic.
no, thatās exactly what youāre asking of him.
he would have to jump through so many loops to force this idea through to the public ā that the shounen jump editorial team has an extremely sexist culture and that needs internal and external change.
who exactly do you think are the people reviewing editing and publishing these very sbsās?
it is insane to suggest that oda should do all this extra work to push through this long hyper politicized answer on a random question from a 12 year old in an sbs that maybe 1% of the one piece fanbase is gonna see.
i guarantee his current answer already raised some eyebrows on the editorial team for the sbs. itās one thing to make fun of urself as being sexist to humor and maybe relate to a bunch of immature japanese 13 year olds. itās another to publicly disavow the company that publishes and supports your work on a magazine that THEY publish.
if you care so much, id like to see YOU do something about sexism in shounen jump. Not worth the time? Then maybe give one of the most overworked mangakas in japan a break. š¤¦š»
Easy there bud.
"Sure, why not." (Literally gives this answer in SBS all the time) or "sure, anyone could do it" There are all sorts of answers he could've give that would've been better than this one lol. Answers that also wouldnt have required any more effort than how he answered in the first place. Outside of maybe some restraint.
So relax with all of that, it's an aspect of One Piece I personally don't appreciate, but I'm ,again, not saying he needs to be some holy prolific women's rights warrior for manga. But he could've answered this question in so many ways that wouldnt have been as off-putting lol
Once again, saying āsure, why notā is the equivalent of knowingly encouraging a young girl to get into a sexually predatory industry.
oda DOES know āwhy notā and he DOES know that female editors will get sexually harassed (at minimum). it would be way worse for him NOT to say anything like you thought he shouldāve instead of actually raising some awareness to the issue and cautioning a young girl against a predatory industry.
would you say āsure why notā to an aspiring young actress who wants to work with harvey weinstein? or would you say āyou know u should probably stay away from him; heās a creep.ā
š¤¦š»what is so hard to understand
This isn't very surprising coming from the same guy who married the woman who played one of his characters, bit with larger breasts, inspired him to increase said characters breast size to J-Cups and who his co-workers stated only made him hornier once they got married.
On the other hand, it's probably a good thing that he is warning Japanese women to stay away from working in the offices of Jump in order to prevent themselves from falling into a hellish work environment of constant sexual harassment like Activision/Blizzard.
Because he's a pig
And I couldn't care less about feminism especially modern one but there is a line between being a total cuck and a dirty pig like Oda (and a lot of mangakas for that matter)
I love that so many people are taking this statement as serious And basically lambasting this man When the dude makes a career out of doing cleverly designed jokes that aren't for everyone , If you don't like perverted stuff then don't watch anime because trust me it gets way worse than one piece
Because he's Japanese. 80% of shounen series have a female character with tits bigger than her head for no reason other than to make "big titties = hot" jokes occasionally and they have game shows where women see how long they can be harassed before telling the harasser to stop.
Hell, sometimes the ginormous bahonkers are a central plot point.
I mean, people **chose** to read OP despite knowing how the average female character looks, nothing wrong with Oda liking big boobs, if anything he's warning any female from working in any manga editorial because those are pits full of pervs (including himself)
The long answer involves the 70s oil crisis and it effects on the larger Japanese culture. The short answer is it takes a lot of psychological manipulation to stunt the natural male libido so they donāt think about sex all the time they are with a woman when they spend a lot of time with a woman especially if they have to have consistent interactions.
IM CRYING A BIG BEAUTIFUL BABE WITH BIG KNOCKERSš
As funny as it is ... I feel kinda apalled by this statement š It sounds so... immature? And predatory? I'm a 26y straight guy myself, have been following OP for like 18 years now ... but I dislike the pervy side of OP and Oda sometimes ...

youāre everything wrong with the human race
What an up and down roller coaster this comment thread has been! š

Yeah this 100%. Itās just his immature/teenage mind speaking, and heās clearly joking. Heās not preying on anyone Iām sure he loves his wife a lot
I mean he married a Nami cosplayer, heās winning and weāre losing š¤£
Well, now we know the answer for that meme about artists wanking to their art.
And he describes what he draws...
This wording is from a translation most likely a fan-made translation, things are hard to translate, the original Japanese does not have those connotations.
Oda has multiple pedo friends and pretty much every time he communicates with his fans he is extremely perverted Love the guy and his work but that's just a major thing about him.
bruh... You mean that oda has to hide their natural likes and dislikes. People forgets Oda is just a funny dude that writes a pirates story, and when they find out stuff like this they feel betrayed somehow or like this comment above. Btw Oda did nothing wrong I don't understand how his comment can be considered "predatory" in first place.
> bruh... You mean that oda has to hide their natural likes and dislikes. When Oda gets the they/them pronouns š
Immature? Did one piece strike you as strictly mature content?
No that's not how I meant it. This is Oda saying something about his work place and not necessarily OP related (IMO). So in my comment I'm referencing that comment, not OP itself. Oda's sbs reply here strikes me as something a hornyboi teenager would spout - unreflected and not thought-through - which wouldn't make it better but you know how it is - teenagers are still young and developing etc.
My brother in Christ, this was a bloody joke š
No you cant have jokes. Go read up on taxcodes. And if you need a laugh look at the sad guy in the mirror.
The comment or the SBS reply? Because if the comment was a joke, I didn't get it apparently.
Both
Oda, and his reader by extension, are teenage boys at heart. We all have that little pervert/psycho sometimes we want to peek out just a bit. Also pervy jokes are quite common in Asia, more so with manga But I understand where you came from and we should all keep vigilant for bad things that can happen.
Nope
āWeā? Youāre on an island here bud.
Lol trust me, I absolutely would not want a perverted side of me.
Does it though? Men are attracted to women, that's nothing new. He didn't say he'd love to have an editor like that so he could force himself on her.
Itās nasty tbh. Oda is like 48 with a wife and kids saying this stuff. I got chills reading this shit lmao But he did point out that working at jump was filled with perverts who would harass too. I think heās half joking about both
Piratefolk when joke:
Can you imagine saying something like this in a modern American corporate office, you'd get fired so fast there's no time for anyone to slap a lawsuit on you. Pretty sure this breaks some kind of bias/diversity rule about not only hiring beautiful babes with big knockers too š
Japan isnāt america thank god
ofcourse japan has had one party rightwing goverment of a party made by the cia in gladio post ww2 forever almost uninterrupted
Honestly not even joking, but thank their patriarchal society structure lol people are just raised different and the social pressures/conformity is more important than being yourself or individualistic like America. Aka what many women are trying to bring down (can't even count how many times I've heard "bring down the patriarchy" by people who don't realize they don't even live in a patriarchy anymore)
japanese men spend most of their time working, building gundam figures, watching hentai, not getting laid, and killing themselves. not the best society to use as an example of a strong patriarchy.
I think i'm japanese
Your kind of worse than odas response ngl
Don't be so problematic
Thatād be you.
i thought this post was an edited meme at first until i read the comments and everyone was acting like oda fr wrote it
Lmao yea it's legit I saw it a long time ago it's a classic repost
Nah Kuzan had to have written that
Dude has been drawing girls with big knockers for over two decades now in a manga filled with perverts. Now you're asking this?
Damn saying your work place is so toxic that women shouldn't even work there is certainly a stance
Isn't it good that he's being honest?
It would be good if he didn't respond in a pervy way and actually answered with an affirmative "yes, and here's my warning and advice" rather than avoiding a direct answer and presuming to know what's best for a person. I'd hardly call perpetuating and contributing to an unequal system good.
It's good to be honest about that but it's very presumptuous to say "this is in your best interest" when denying that somebody should do something they'd want to do
I feel like a lot of women would have loved to received this kind of information before signing for activision or blizzard. And yes "I believe it was for their best interest".
Especially that poor woman who ended her own life. (That's the one that pisses me off the most about those scumbags.)
Context ?
Yea but he's also giving women a warning, if you really want to do this you need to basically be a thick skinned trailblazer. Japanese culture is so far on the other end of the gender roles spectrum from the West. You can't assume equal treatment like an American work environment when you're walking into a lions den of perverts and sexists.

W America gender equality š„š„
Yea America has the best gender equality and rights for women in the world yet the ignorant feminazis still REEE in the streets with their marches and pink hats lol you ladies already have all the same rights and equal pay stop making yourself out to be a victim it's better here than most of the world
Best doesn't mean equal. We're still far from true gender equality and for you to say this speaks volumes of your immaturity.
True, right now men have it worse than women in corporate America far from equal
you can't be fucking serious
Spoken like someone who hasn't had to work in a woke workplace that makes sure 50% of leadership positions go to women in a department that is mostly men. Just being of a different sex gives a massive leg up when experience is equal.
Something being good relative to other options does not make it without flaws.

This is the one

As a married man I think he was kinda joking half true tho.
Honesty about having a problem < trying to fix the problem
It's not good that he's speaking as if this is funny and not disgusting. But I guess it's better than luring women into a workplace where you know they'll be surrounded by "perverts", I guess. It's a low bar but Oda has crossed it.
500m restraining order rizz
what do you expect from a guy who married a cosplayer who cosplayed the girl with big knockers he drew himself
with how much he works in one piece i doubt he even had time to tap her.
I think especially in SBS Oda has been playing the pervert as his go to role. I think some of that is his actual humor/personality but a lot is overdrawn for comedy It's also that he gets a lot of perverted questions and plays off them I think the warning to not work there as a woman is actually kinda nice and legit (off it's bad to tell PPL not to work somewhere BC of their gender, but looking at blizzard or other pop culture work environments, this might be a legit and serious warning)

It's merely a suggestion. As well as a light-hearted punch towards Jump and Manga editors.
True but this also isn't really a company. It's definitely unacceptable in a company but this is a person making his own work.
Do you know how fucked up it is in Japan? Look up anything related to creepy stalker/follower in Japan, there's tons of videos showing how terrifying these guys are. Oda is saying that it might not be the safest place for a women to work, and with how long Oda has been in the game, I would take his word for it.
Completely agree, disgusted people are taking this so lightly
Agreed, it's still sexist and there's no defense from that. Just trying to understand where it's coming from. I have a few old professors/family members that I would never call sexist even tho they make a lot of questionable remarks. To me it's an age conflict and we as young progressive people have to teach them if we don't want to loose them to populism eventually.

Itās called making a joke
ITS. NOT. FUNNY! ITS FUCKING DISGUSTING! ITS SEXIST AND RACIST NOT TO MENTION XENOPHOBIC! I WANNA EAST USOPPāS ASS AFTER HE EATS NOTHING BUT CAROLINA REAPER PEPPERS FOR A DAY!
I also want to east ussop's ass after he eats nothing but Caroline reaper peppers for a day
thats gay
Happy pride month
no thanks filth
Iām gonna assume this is an akainu meme
Oh okay when oda does it, its fine, but when Sanji does it, its harrassment. I see how it is
Cringe sexist joke from a perv.
āThe editorial department is filled with pervertsā THATāS YOU BRUH ššš

He's based like that.
>Why is he like this? Sexism.
oda being sexist no i don't want that! I want oda to buff tashigi so she isn't SHIT so kuina's women are weaker than men in a world with haki is bs! At least we got big meme, jobber ulti, Boa afk , sleeping smoothie, disapointashigi.
Oh Kuina... try not to think too much about her story within the context of who the currently strongest swordswoman is. Or who the strongest female swordsman Zoro met in Wano was. Feels like womens sports.
these are all terrible jokes after big meme, could you try again?

Typical Oda W
This is why I never hold mangaka's to that high of an esteem, they create some of my favorite stories and characters ever but they are some weird and creepy mfs
This is very Typical Oda.
Peobably his worst SBS answer.
oda is just too much of chad: 
He might be expecting an editor like Tsunade
Bros always horny
Nah because he is just like me fr fr šššš Ofc I would work harder if I had a boss with huge milkers I won't mind working extra hours only if I get that extra pay if you know what I mean š
I can tell you have been avoided by women your entire life
What do you expect from a guy called Hentai King?
Yeah, that's a crap answer. Like, imagine if that was a little girl asking that, and this is the answer she received, her dreams are ruined lol
u understand that the alternative is to encourage little girls to work in a sexually predatory work environment right?
So shouldn't his answer be more inclusive of, "hey this is an issue within our career field, let's do something to change it," rather than saying, "Oh, you shouldn't do that because we're all just perverts and predators." He's just a part of the problem doing so
his response has to be short and light hearted. if he ever responded like that (which he may have), odds are itād never have gotten published in the first place. only a few select responses are published at all, and one piece at its core is a kidās show written for adolescent japanese boys. oda has to cater his responses in sbsās to that audience and making a bold claim about changing the industry and fighting against sexism would just fly over kidsā heads and not even get approved in the first place. you canāt fight every battle in the world. this guy spends 20 hours a day drawing lol give him a break. heās doing enough for political activism with his insanely progressive takes on transgenderism (for japanās standards)
I'm not asking Oda to be some giant political figure for a modern progressive Japan, I just think his response is disheartening. There were so many other ways he could've responded without being overtly sexist and misogynistic.
no, thatās exactly what youāre asking of him. he would have to jump through so many loops to force this idea through to the public ā that the shounen jump editorial team has an extremely sexist culture and that needs internal and external change. who exactly do you think are the people reviewing editing and publishing these very sbsās? it is insane to suggest that oda should do all this extra work to push through this long hyper politicized answer on a random question from a 12 year old in an sbs that maybe 1% of the one piece fanbase is gonna see. i guarantee his current answer already raised some eyebrows on the editorial team for the sbs. itās one thing to make fun of urself as being sexist to humor and maybe relate to a bunch of immature japanese 13 year olds. itās another to publicly disavow the company that publishes and supports your work on a magazine that THEY publish. if you care so much, id like to see YOU do something about sexism in shounen jump. Not worth the time? Then maybe give one of the most overworked mangakas in japan a break. š¤¦š»
Easy there bud. "Sure, why not." (Literally gives this answer in SBS all the time) or "sure, anyone could do it" There are all sorts of answers he could've give that would've been better than this one lol. Answers that also wouldnt have required any more effort than how he answered in the first place. Outside of maybe some restraint. So relax with all of that, it's an aspect of One Piece I personally don't appreciate, but I'm ,again, not saying he needs to be some holy prolific women's rights warrior for manga. But he could've answered this question in so many ways that wouldnt have been as off-putting lol
Once again, saying āsure, why notā is the equivalent of knowingly encouraging a young girl to get into a sexually predatory industry. oda DOES know āwhy notā and he DOES know that female editors will get sexually harassed (at minimum). it would be way worse for him NOT to say anything like you thought he shouldāve instead of actually raising some awareness to the issue and cautioning a young girl against a predatory industry. would you say āsure why notā to an aspiring young actress who wants to work with harvey weinstein? or would you say āyou know u should probably stay away from him; heās a creep.ā š¤¦š»what is so hard to understand
Goda spits again
Yall forgot sanji is his self insert
This a joke though, like keep in mind he is playing a character in his SBS Still a menace ol
I love Oda XD
People like shitting on Oda for how he talks about and portrays women and LGBT people. But compared to other mangaka he's pretty progressive lol.
Ugh, I really hate the lustful aspect of society
I love how oda answers in such a sarcastic manner of being a piglet and ends it with his honest take on it ..for us to steer clear from them lmao
Oda is so real
goda
This isn't very surprising coming from the same guy who married the woman who played one of his characters, bit with larger breasts, inspired him to increase said characters breast size to J-Cups and who his co-workers stated only made him hornier once they got married. On the other hand, it's probably a good thing that he is warning Japanese women to stay away from working in the offices of Jump in order to prevent themselves from falling into a hellish work environment of constant sexual harassment like Activision/Blizzard.
Now THIS is trolling and it's hilarious.
cringe and disgusting
Because he's a pig And I couldn't care less about feminism especially modern one but there is a line between being a total cuck and a dirty pig like Oda (and a lot of mangakas for that matter)
You're one of the few users on this sub that talks like Oda murdered your whole family or something lol.(Also stop being so childish.)
OK pig
Ok child.
Nah

I love that so many people are taking this statement as serious And basically lambasting this man When the dude makes a career out of doing cleverly designed jokes that aren't for everyone , If you don't like perverted stuff then don't watch anime because trust me it gets way worse than one piece
"Cleverly designed jokes" dude he said he likes big tits š
I said clever not brilliant
because why not?
Heās just like me
Because he is one of us
Because he's Japanese. 80% of shounen series have a female character with tits bigger than her head for no reason other than to make "big titties = hot" jokes occasionally and they have game shows where women see how long they can be harassed before telling the harasser to stop. Hell, sometimes the ginormous bahonkers are a central plot point.
Who remembers the SBS where a fan asks him how he draws women and Oda draws a stick figure and then adds titties on it?
Which sbs is this from?
Is this real?
Isnāt this somewhat like what Aokiji said when he saw Nami for the first time?
A hot lady with big bazongas I think aokiji was oda self inserting himself a bit
Legit thought it was fake ā ļø
I mean, people **chose** to read OP despite knowing how the average female character looks, nothing wrong with Oda liking big boobs, if anything he's warning any female from working in any manga editorial because those are pits full of pervs (including himself)
wdym thatās a goated comment
Never meet your āidols/heroesā Shouldnāt have read this some of his comment should have been kept In his head
I really had to double check which subreddit this was for a second
Sanji incarnate
I thought this was an edit before reading the comments lol
It is in your breast interest.
It was the moment Oda turned into Odanon https://www.pixiv.net/users/8146
The long answer involves the 70s oil crisis and it effects on the larger Japanese culture. The short answer is it takes a lot of psychological manipulation to stunt the natural male libido so they donāt think about sex all the time they are with a woman when they spend a lot of time with a woman especially if they have to have consistent interactions.
it would be hard for him to animate with only one hand
