ALT: a picture of a conversation in Teams between two coworkers. One coworker says:

LOL You should read One Piece Its such a good story in such an easy to digest format Too much "good content" is locked behind like super serious overtones Shit gets too heavy too much

the other person responds:

not only will I not be reading it, I will not be watching it either if you contact me again about this, I will seek legal action

It has that curse of It Gets Better Later™, I say this as a genuine fan of the anime.

It goes into surprisingly poignant commentaries on social injustices like supremecist hate groups and slavery.

But if you don't like silly rubber guy doing silly things then it won't be worth your trouble.

One Piece is a legitimately impressive work of art that I will not be consuming. I respect it from a distance and it is better for both of us this way I think. It is both silly and serious in a way that's hard to balance.
