#the smoker and tashigi episodes that live in my mind. oda wishes. he wishes he were me#this is true of every woman in 1pc but its so frustrating watching any scene with tashigi bc like#yes shes clumsy scatterbrained etc etc those are fine those can stay bc through all that shes. SUPPOSED to be competent. shes been /said/#to defeat strong opponents and theres a /reason/ shes smokers right hand but odas allergic to letting women fight onscreen. bc hes a coward#im taking her away from him im taking away his tashigi rights. Girl You Are So Cool To Me#this is like. gdjgffgjdhf between tashigi and kuina oda does this thing where hes like. ''what if i almost engaged with being a woman in a#heavily gendered society in an interesting way and i /talked/ about doing so but then never follow up on that. so rather than creating a#story that includes gender norms for the purpose of questioning them i just /talked/ about questioning them but then reinforced them with my#starring cast of characters bc im incapable of writing a woman who isnt Dainty. what then.“ and what happens then is i Bite him#and by 'allergic to letting women fight onscreen' i mean. women can only fight women and if theyre NOT fighting women they still have to be#Elegant or Feminine about it and occasionally a woman could defeat a Man™ but shes always gotta be Pretty about it. nami complains about#fighting and robin Only Slaps People Bc She Doesnt Like Punching :( and tashigi (whos fighting style is more traditionally. yknow. Fighty)#doesnt get to Do that often or when she Does she gets put out of commission early and its. Bro You Are So Close#head in my hands. 1pc is good i love it dont get me wrong but i could make it Better
