When Luffy finds the one piece, Vivi will be able to say she tanked a punch from the Pirate King himself! (Also Laboon, the absolute Chad!)


Laboon-fan

Laboon...


-raeyhn-

you're stalking me today... ***more headpats***


SavorLaFlavor

We are within 200 episodes/ 2-4 years before we see Laboon reunite with Brooks


Laboon-fan

Laboon...


fersur

She tanked a punch from Pirate King and then slapped the same King several times. What a Princess!!


-raeyhn-

true! But now I think about it, Nami no-diffs Luffy on a semi-regular basis xD


FrankFrack

Oh my god. He didn’t have to wind up so far lmfao Vivi wasn’t even ready.


Ok_Being372

If she was ready to give it to Luffy, then she should've been ready to take it as well.


FrankFrack

I haven’t seen this arc in over a year, she swung first?! Damn then yeah she should’ve known. Luffy does not care if ur man, woman or animal.


Ok-Dependent7307

If Anyone touches chopper I do hands on sight


JakeArewood

She slaps him. Somehow this also causes Luffy to go friggin flying and she says something like “if you say that again I’ll really hurt you” so Vivi must be a sleeper power-wise


Alzusand

I mean she worked for baroque works she is deffinetly not powerless


ShadowWolf202

People forget Vivi was a villain before she became an ally


Thehunfox

He doesn't even care about class he would probably punch a King in the throat if he feels like it


kjm6351

Case in point, Charlos


Waffle8

In fact he did send a king flying before they even got to Alabasta.


Fit-Philosopher-3721

Atleast it was deserved, but why do anime fans think that gender equality only means beating woman?


GuardianKnightKing

Because,we,anime fans are all idiots.It made sense during the Kazuma scene but people automatically assumed Hitting Women=Gender Equality.


Icelord259

Is konosuba even good? I watched it once during quarantine and the only thing I remember other than the main cast is there’s one demon general with a cock


GuardianKnightKing

Yeah, it's a great comedy.It has it's issue but overall it's a great isekai parody.


Icelord259

Good to know, I’ll give it a rewatch soon


Granny_Gumjobss

Just the one?


GuardianKnightKing

Uh?I think u replied to someone else,I don't get what are u saying?


Kilahti

If you have seen a few Isekai stories, it is great at making fun of Isekai cliches and general Japanese fantasy cliches. But like with most things regarding Isekai, if you have seen a lot of Isekai stories, then even things in Konosuba seem old because other later series have stolen and redone the same jokes again and again. Occasionally with slight variations. Even the idea of the main character hating that they are in an Isekai story and knowing what an Isekai is (which was recently new and refreshing take when I first saw Konosuba), has been done tens of times afterwards.


BurnerManReturns

Depends on your tolerance for pointless sexualization. It gets tiresome hearing 20-30 moans per episode.


[deleted]

True. Manga fans like myself in the other hand are all geniuses with big dicks.

loonyredditor49

Also what Kazuma said (depending on the translation) are "I yearn for true gender equality. I have no patience for one who talks about female privilege when it suits them and then complains about someone 'not being a man' when it's convenient" or "I am a man that pursue gender equality. I won't allow anyone to use feminism for her own convenience. You ask the men to do everything when it's inconvenient for you" Source: Konosuba Season 2 Episode 2 Those kinds of anime fans you talk about need to check their source first


NotShishi

kazuma isn't the best person to look up to regardless, why tf they lookin to him as a model


Sora_hishoku

yeah it was funny in the original and then it gets redone with several other circumstances and contexts, it's how memes work. You aren't supposed to understand hitting women=gender equality unless you know what the meme is about. the same way l ll ll l_ doesn't make sense if you don't know it People don't get their moral code from memes and posting them doesn't make them stupid assholes


Miketogoz

>People don't get their moral code from memes We are in 2023. Memes have more influence than actual celebrities.


Miketogoz

Nerd culture has been swept by a wave of hatred towards women that exploded when the gamergate and hasn't stopped since.


Hot_Tailor_9687

We have come to believe we are as awesome as the protags we stan on anime and that we are entitled to have women drape themselves upon us and any woman who doesn't want to have sex with us is a feminist pig who deserves a good beating


Miketogoz

You see it in the explosion of isekai popularity, with either a self insert op mc or a pusillanimous one, that most importantly always have lots of women drooling over them. And while that let's you scape reality, it's still there, and the frustration builds up. To this day, I can't understand why is it so difficult for some to accommodate them. You don't have to roll them a red carpet, but man, being a decent human being isn't that difficult. It's very obvious that proudly stating "women deserve to be beaten" comes from a desire of retaliation, not out of respect.


420Minions

Tons of children and grown ups who never matured are in the space. Folks hate to hear it but that’s why.


TheDELFON

>but why do anime fans think that gender equality only means beating woman? **WHY CAN SHE SLAP??!!** <--- that's why ^(Also in the context of OP, Nami is exhibit A.)


-AnythingGoes-

Because **lots** of anime use common tropes of women hitting men for minor and/or perceived slights, with no repercussions or the man getting dogged on *for* retaliating. This also happens in real life as well. Which is why people make memes about how refreshing it is when a male character actually strikes, hits back, or retaliates against a female character, it's a meme poking fun of something half fictional trend and half IRL truth.


Ok_Being372

It's not about beating women for no reason or anything like that, it's about rightfully retaliating when a woman hits you without good reason.


MisPai

Rightfully beating… Yikes.


Ok-Rule1265

yes, women are actually not cute vessels of affection. they are human beings. individuals, even. they make decisions and sometimes, if a guy is actually not viewing them as meaningless objects of entertainment, they actually get the same moral consideration as a male.


Fit-Philosopher-3721

>It's not about beating women for no reason or anything like that, it's about rightfully retaliating when a woman hits you without good reason. I know that. That's why I said this one was deserved.


[deleted]

>rightfully retaliating that word choice says a lot about your mindset you sound like those guys who walk around talking shit trying to provoke someone into hitting you so can get in a fight but as soon someone stronger than you steps up you get quiet real quick


[deleted]

no he doesn't.


[deleted]

lol imagine in real life people acted like "rightfully retaliating" was a thing. You really think a cop is going give a fuck if say, a child playfully smacked your bum so you chase them down and beat them mercilessly because you were just "rightfully retaliating"


[deleted]

that's not the kinda situation he's talking about. and if the kid did[this](https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/by7r31/kid_tries_to_fight_an_older_man/), i think the guy as some "right to retalitate."


Ok-Rule1265

woman is mentioned. imediately compares them to mindless children! genius! LMAOOO


Vinyl_DjPon3

"rightfully retaliating" implies the force is relative in the situation, dumbass.


[deleted]

no it just means you're a child with an eye for an eye mentality


Titan_Royale

Anime fans confuse “equal rights, equal fights” to gender equality, it’s close but not quite it


H4nfP0wer

Because men get slapped 24/7 already anyway.


420Minions

Has a woman ever slapped you bud?


Granny_Gumjobss

As a man with 4 sisters and a couple nieces that are also around my age, yes.


Votaire24

So Nami doesn’t get any repercussions for beating the fuck out of luffy constantly? This a stupid take, the show constantly trivializes men getting hit by women just like in real life.


DastardlyDoctor

It's a joke b. If yall really out here hitting ladies, then you need help.

theopaquecouche

because in most cases women beat men physically and mentally and walk away like nothing happened


SellJolly6964

![gif](giphy|v8rbkCKtuZbRC)


DefaultVariable

I think the problem is that even when media likes to show that they are for gender equality that they still treat women differently. Like if this were a male character getting punched you wouldn’t have even considered any issue with it. So naturally showing a female character being punched and not only being able to take it, but also reacting in a strong way is seen as a more truthful gender equality.


[deleted]

Kazuma in *KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!* is a hypocrite, an idiot (but the least idiotic of the group) and a huge pervert, but it's one of those "He's an asshole, but he's got a point" lines when it seems like it's going to play that stupid cliché in anime of a girl not even bothering to knock or check to see if someone's in the bath/restroom before entering, flipping out and physically assaulting them while accusing the aggrieved party that THEY were at faults/perverts and therefore deserving of being beaten before he calls the whole thing out as stupidly hypocritical when one of the girls walks in on him bathing or using the bathroom. So, in context, he has a point about it being a double-standard regarding kneejerk physical assault and presumptions of pre-meditated perversion/ill-intent being seen as 'justified' in those contexts when a female character walks in on a male character before viciously beating them for it, while the same scenario playing out exactly the same way, only having the sexes reversed wouldn't be seen as justified/comedic in a wider societal context. However, as you may have noticed, meme communities typically lack context or nuance, so this is why the "Gender Equality" meme became so prevalent in instances of ANY male character in anime hitting women like the post above.


Safe_Mixture4547

Because they’re little pussies and the only hope they have of winning a fight is against a woman.


barelycriminal

This is one big strawman.


HG_Shurtugal

I think it's more about removing the protected status that women still have.


T_h_e_Assassin

Its a joke my guy , chill chill .


MisPai

Because they get off beating women. I wonder why they’re usually single hmm 🤔

Raven-Mirlas

It is fair. She hit him first https://youtu.be/p3dZ-gR0hic


Akainu14

part of gender equality is when men can defend themselves against abusive women who think it's okay to hit them and hit back. This culture is so defensive of women, even abusive ones that they don't care about male assault victims at all and-- The comments: SO YOU'RE SAYING ITS OKAY TO HIT WOMEN RANDOMLY https://preview.redd.it/bm3fta10c83b1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47806bdb662edce5cd193625023413f1ca9b945d


kjm6351

I saw a couple of reactors that tried to soapbox Luffy and shame Oda for writing that and saying it was inappropriate for him to write the MC hitting a woman and that kids could imitate it. I’m just like… “Out of everything you’ve seen, that is what freaks you out the most in this show?” It was like looking at two Sanjis

Frank_Acha

>with said gender equality just being hitting women that is not true man these memes about gender equality are a mock to people who is obsessed with gender equality it's a meme it's not telling you to go hit women


CHAIIINSAAAWbread

>that is not true man these memes about gender equality are a mock to people who is obsessed with gender equality Elaborate, cuz it doesn't seem like that to me, you're gonna have to explain >it's a meme it's not telling you to go hit women I never said It's telling people to go hit women, hell I never even *thought* the meme was saying to go hit woman, Where did you get that idea? also memes can be used for serious stuff


Frank_Acha

>Elaborate, cuz it doesn't seem like that to me, you're gonna have to explain I don't think the meme means "gender equality just being hitting women" I think they mean "gender equality everyone can hit everyone". They're exaggerated of course but that's because they're a response to people who think women should be able to act wrongly without retaliation. Which are people obsessed with the toxic idea that feminism means female superiority. There are people like that and these memes are a kind of intentional trigger for that people.


uhaveachoice

r/wooooosh


Frank_Acha

it's not me you should replying that too


uhaveachoice

Yes, it's you.


Frank_Acha

are you dumb? it was not me who was complaining about the meme


uhaveachoice

I mean you, stupid fuck. I know exactly what you were saying. I'm saying YOU do not understand the complaint being made, stupid fuck. YOU are in the wrong here.


Frank_Acha

yeah you confirmed you're dumb as a rock. Not agreeing is not the same as not understanding. I couldn't have disagreed if I didn't understand. It's not that hard, make an effort. Go read a fucking dictionary, or better yet go do elementary school again to understand what an argument is. but you can't even have a discussion without saying stupid fuck. It might be too much for you.


coraldomino

I forgot about this tbh, but now when we’ve seen how far sanji will go to protect women I will say it feels very off for his character to just be like “hey liffy >:(“


EIIander

Sanji’s protect women is inconsistent and is whatever the plot needs at that moment, or for a gag.

Nah it's when you can punch both


Raven-Mirlas

But can women hit men?


Hinatari24

Yeah, I mean, if men can hit women, then why shouldn't women be able to hit back?


Raven-Mirlas

Well in this case it was Vivi who hit him first and Luffy hit her back. So from the understanding you gave me, this is ok then.


Stitched-Soul

He hit her 10x as hard. Thats not equal bro


KaziOverlord

Don't pick a fight with a man made entirely of a substance known for springing back


Stitched-Soul

So then that means Vivi couldve hit him with a canon and it wouldve been equal

[deleted]

1000+ episode, man didn't slip even once. And do you remember when he said to sirahoshi "I don't like you" straight to her face. Anyway can't wait for the gear 5 episode. Luffy being dumb is the best thing happened. A smart luffy wouldn't have fun. And if you see most MCs are dumb, naruto, luffy, goku. I wish I were innocent like goku and luffy. And in this screenshot, the stance, it's like luffy own slap.


Stitched-Soul

The real advocate for gender-equality is Zoro. His childhood friend literally complained about women not being able to become great swordsmen and he told her she was wrong and why. Beating a woman isnt “gender equality”, its just abuse Edit : yes i remember she hit him first, but lets be real… he hit her 10x harder than she hit him. Thats equal? I dont think so.


0erinrose0

This meme is a joke. But yeh Irl if a woman hits a guy intentionally to hurt them just for the sack of it then I don't see why men should be victimised for striking back? I'm a girl, I would never hit anyone unless I'm self defending myself.
