This is a general question btw with no ill intent to the cast and fandom itself.

I've been an on and off fan of one piece for a few years now and I've avoided OPLA religiously because LAs are often disappointments (looking at Kuroshitsuji, AOT, DBZ, ATLA...) and I admittedly am one of those people who are very picky and sensitive when it comes to adaptations of their fav works. I've seen the casting choices and I felt disconcerted about the portrayals of some of my favorite characters but I kept it to myself and just didn't engage.

I've been keeping my peace until recently when my room mate started watching it. I got forced to watch it because she always starts when I start preparing dinner and the kitchen area directly faces the living room TV. It was fine at first but as time went on I felt like the work I came to love so much became more and more... Idk, smudged? It didn't feel right to me. The deviations, random changes, acting choices, certain casting choices etc. it felt like I was watching a role play.

I won't get into detail about the things I disliked since it might start unnecessary drama but I genuinely need advice on how to remove myself from this headspace, every time I think about it, it bugs me. Every time I come across clips of it (yes, somehow it started invading my feed too.) I feel even more distaste for it. I even found out that actors for some of my fav characters are asscheeks. It sucks. I don't even want to care about it but I just keep doing it unconsciously and making myself suffer. What do I do help

I watched this video where this youtuber talks about going to art school and he watched a friend of his perform their work, where the friend had opened with a five minute monologue about 'gooning'. And the youtuber found no matter how much of an open mind he tried to have he couldn't get it. It wasn't until later when he talked with some of his guy friends, that his friends opened up to him about their porn addictions, some struggling with it since middle school, and that the monologue was the first time they've ever felt seen and that their addiction wasn't treated like a joke.

After hearing and watching that I felt like I gained I new perspective. I realized there's some/a lot of vulnerability in that.. but idk. I feel like the stigma behind porn addictions is still really bad to take this new found perspective seriously.

What do you guys believe?

In your own opinion SHOULD omega men be called mothers? Because I find it personally off that they're called "mom" By majority of people. Simply for giving birth but they're still men, they still have a dick and in some works is shown that omega x omega can produce an offspring.
