Frieza in the Japanese version of DBZ is portrayed as polite to subordinates and at times, reasonable despite being a genocidal dictator. That makes him automatically better than a majority of Japanese bosses.

Some medium-sized spoilers ahead for One Piece.

Context

Some pretty standard anime forum drama on /r/OnePiece today.

One Piece is a long-running manga and anime series about pirates with magical powers and strange body proportions. The subject of today's drama is Jewelry Bonney, a character introduced way back in 2008 who, like many (most?) of the series' women, first showed up with a scanty costume design and rather generous proportions. She's been a pretty minor character in most of the 15 years since, but in the latest arc of the story, she's suddenly become a central feature.

It was recently revealed that Bonney is, in fact, 12 years old (10 years old at the time of her first appearance), and she uses her powers to age up her body and appear as an adult. This has caused some controversy, because - even beyond the already-mentioned skimpy costumes - Bonney has been sexualized pretty substantially in recent chapters, with numerous butt shots and one particularly egregious topless panel. And that's just the official artwork; you can imagine what else the internet has done since her reveal.

Today's drama springs from a screencap of the anime, which has just recently previewed the topless scene. Is beating off to a 12 year old child who looks like an adult cool and good, or is it creepy? Is it totally okay because Japan? Does it matter that she's fictional? What about age of consent?? That's for you and the intellectual elite of /r/OnePiece to decide!

Highlights

In both situations, its just an anime character.

Still has the mind of a 12 year old...

What exactly are people complaining about? Her body is that of a 20+ year old, she isn't doing anything sexual and everything is purely fictional. I know I'm probably gonna get downmarseyd for no reason, but I honestly don't get why so many people are upset.

And we have People here who complain about OF Cosplay posts.

The age does not matter cause she's fictional. Shut the frick up already.

Plenty more peppered around the thread, and doubtless more to arrive as the thread goes on. This topic always brings out the hottest of takes.

If you change your waifu every anime season then you are a fake fan! pic.twitter.com/W6qkr1K8A5

I'll trawl this thread later maybe IDK, but have some fun if you neighbors need to kill an hour or two shitposting. They apparently are very mad about the phrases "foid" and "moid"

It is good to see some places on the internet never change

I think she was also later in some anime, bunny s*x lol

Hey fellas, happy new year again. Hope youll spend it just as productive as last year!

Anyway, this week I rewatched the first season of 'Cupids Chocolates'. Its chinese, which is pretty weird, but I still like it cause it has a stalker waifu. I plan to watch season 2 too, I thought I never watched it, but after seeing the first episode of it I think I watched at least a few episodes at some point. Very mysterious...

I also started some nippon originals:

First, I watched the first episode of 'Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me'. Sounds like slop? Cause it is. The mc already gave me a headache after the first episode (cause hes a giant cute twink), and I dont think Ill keep watching. Idk who enjoys whiny kitty r-slurs mcs, but for some reason japan seems to think there are people out there who do.

The second thing I started was 'Stardust Telepath'. Its ok so far, seems like a pretty generic slice of life show.

Thats it for this week. Im about to watch 'The Boy And The Heron', see if it lives up to the hype, so you can look forward to my expert opinion on that next week.

It looks like they put half the budget of an entire cour into the opening.
