My last statement was an opinion, to which you called me a fanboy. Yeah, that's a personal attack. I re-read it, just to make sure. Want me to triple check? (PS: I watched all of those shows I listed, I didn't stop less than halfway)
Anyways, the problem with inductive reasoning is that you are all making claims that are MORE than opinions (See: the "masterpiece" argument), and trying to play them off as opinions. That is a problem. Whether or not one piece is a masterpiece, to me, would be an objective claim. Whether or not one piece is a 'good' show (where 'good' must, again, be defined in a general or personal form), I would argue, is also an objective claim. Now whether or not you LIKE it, that's subjective and I don't care.
The problem is instead of people saying they didn't like one piece, they just flat out call it BAD or find 10000 other 'creative' ways to poison the well. (Guess what poisoning the well is...)

"Google the definition of shounen"
Really? I thought I read this earlier..

"And you wonder why this world is messed up, America is nowhere near as good either when it comes to restrictions."
(I bring this quote up because you said something about America, so I had to question which demographic you were referring to...)
So, we should use the shounen definition of kids? Because that was never explicitly stated, in any argument I've seen thus far. People generalize 'kids' and add an implied negative connotation with it. The shounen 'kid', then, ranges from 10-17 iirc.
Because anime/manga are adapted in languages for several different countries, you cannot just say kids and expect me to understand which demographic you refer to. Hardly me being ignorant.Quote
"Could it be a generalization? Sure, but lets take for example. 70% didn't like OP, 30% Did. So judging by that, it's good right? Please..."
What? These claims are 'generally' factual? I've yet to see a single one proven. These aren't even claims most of the time, they are just mindless attacks upon the integrity of the show. These are subjective misgivings. As far as the %, I have no idea where you are going with that.

"You contradicted yourself on this one buddy, so you're getting SEVERAL "shitty" arguments on why OP is bad. I wonder, so many people with so many arguments. What does that lead to?"
what did I contradict?
If 10 million people believe in god, and 100 don't, does it then stand that god exists? Lol? This leads to a shitty argument, IMO.
It does not follow that, just because 10000 people say one piece is not a masterpiece, or 100000 people say that one piece is SHITTY, BAD, NOT WORTH WATCHING, that these claims are true.

"Is this a book? Does books come out by chapters? This comparison is moot."
Is it? What do you think most animes are based off of? Novels or mangas? Nah, not possible......................
Ok, I'll just pretend to ignore that for now. While I did commit to this analogy, I was trying to make a point: You, and these other folks who are in the same position as you, are judging the show ONE PIECE without having actually completed it to the current episode, let alone the last. Now that's fine if you were just saying you didn't like the show. But people, as I said before, rarely stop there. It's almost always an elitist contest of talking shit or trying to make others not want to watch the show by constantly saying negative things about it. THAT IS MY PROBLEM, OK BRAH?
