I agree with the sentiment, not the framing. I also have no interest in relationships, that doesn't mean im asexual.

No I fucking love romance, but trying to find somebody I'd vibe with feels like a futile effort and I got shit to do.

>>280181752
I'm in a similar boat and I'm not sure whether the label applies to me. I like the idea (or less charitably fantasy) of romantic and sexual relationships, but trying to pursue it IRL seems like trying to win the lottery, so I never really tried. But if I only like it in theory or fiction, does that really count for anything? In practice the difference seems very small at least.

False. Luffy is not asexual, Luffy is cuck sexual. He can only get hard when his bull Usopp is with him.
Literally, Luffy canonically only feels lust when Usopp is nearby to influence him.

>>280183351
he's even more free now

>>280183748
The idea that Luffy can only get into it if he's jerking with his bros is honestly funny as fuck

>>280183693
This is the same stupid ass thought process authors believe in that makes MCs so unnaturally gay. There’s nothing more free than busting a nut in a plump bitch

Everything has to be a sexual orientation these days. A comic for kids that doesn't involve romance? They're asexual, autistic, whatever other bullshit people online can think of. People are passionate about something? Yep, autism. Two men are good friends, they're gay, bi, queer whatever. It's just mental illness, ignore it.

>He has no time
Yeah i don't buy that, if they have enough time to throw a party after battles, they have enough time to fuck.

>>280184276
The worse for me is when people apply a sexual dynamic to a social dynamic in a context so far removed from their understanding that they could not help but misunderstand.
A very readily available example is the relationship between Frodo and Sawise in Lord of the Ring. A lot of mongoloids paint them as gay or something along those lines, which is so idiotic that it makes me sad.
Sam is a servant, in the most exact sense of the word: Frodo is his vassal master. They are not even best friend: it would be inappropriate for a servant to even think of his own master as his best friend. Frodo's best friend is very explictly, at least in the book, Merry. Sam derives his own worth from Frodo's value as a master; it's the most medieval understanding of relationship between men of different social standings, it's everywhere in actual medieval stories, and due to this niggers everywhere who know nothing outside of their retarded little bubble cannot fathom anything like it.

>>280184276
No, Luffy is definitely asexual. It's just the word that describes it. If he was fucking dudes he'd be gay. This is no different.
It's not just that he doesn't care about romance. Magic powers can't find a trace of sexual desire in his heart.

>>280183416
true he could stretch his dick to any woman in the world

>>280183855
That's what everyone says, then comes the pregnancy, the child support, the alimony, the divorce papers if you were dumb enough to get married. It ain't worth it. Wish I'd have just stayed a virgin otaku.

I knew a girl who was picky as fuck and didn't date until she found the exact kind of guy she was looking for.

>>280184889
No, it does matter, how do you expect me to take the world seriously when the mc is such a eunuch.
It colors my judgment of the world of the series.
It's especially bad with one piece because it's supossed to be a world adventure yet the MC has zero romance feelings.
Like, i wouldn't mind it if at least there was the illusion that he isn't, that he's attracted to woman but there isn't.
Like at least give me an explanation for why, instead of handwaving it away.

>>Goku married and had kids
with Who exactly?
>In the heart of a shattered dimension, where stars swirled like confetti and gravity warped under the weight of their combined power, Goku and Luffy faced each other, breathless from their battle against a cosmic tyrant. The air crackled with residual energy, Goku’s aura flaring golden as he hovered in Super Saiyan form, his spiky hair glinting under alien suns. Luffy, bouncing lightly in Gear Fifth, his body radiating a cartoonish, chaotic glow, grinned wider than ever, his straw hat tilted back.“You’re crazy strong, spiky-head!” Luffy laughed, his voice echoing with boundless joy. “Never fought anyone like you!”Goku chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. “You’re not bad yourself, stretchy guy! That last punch? Insane!”Their eyes locked, a spark of mutual respect igniting something deeper. The battlefield stilled, the chaos around them fading into a quiet hum. Luffy’s grin softened, and Goku’s usual battle-hardened gaze warmed. Without a word, they drifted closer, drawn by an unspoken bond forged in combat. Goku’s hand found Luffy’s shoulder, steadying him in the weightless void. Luffy’s fingers grazed Goku’s cheek, playful yet sure.
>In a heartbeat, their lips met—a fleeting, electric kiss, charged with the raw energy of their transformed states. Goku’s golden aura flared brighter, casting a warm glow over Luffy’s elastic, radiant form. The universe itself seemed to pause, honoring the moment between two legends.

Not really a "these days" problem. At the end its the exact same mindset that compels people to pair up literally every male and female character in any sort of positive relationship (or fetishizable negative relationship) in TV, Movie and books since forever.
Homosexuality and others becoming more pominent on peoples mind as an option just widened the field, but the behaviour has been the same since forever. People even do that shit in real life, with real people.
They were seen together and getting along? Must be fucking.

>>280184276

See this is the one that annoys me to no end. Because before all this shit they were insistent that men show more emotions and express their feelings among their friends. But the second they do it's all "OMG SAM AND FRODO ARE SO GAY."

Men weren't meant to be friends with each other outside of helping each other to get girls or make money which is used to get girls. Male friendship that doesn't have any of those benefits is less natural even than homosexuality, which at least happens naturally when there are no girls present but is always hateful.

the funniest part about the cuckification of male role models is that they do it to prevent men from going to war, raping, pillaging etc.
The irony is that the younger generations reject the cucked role models and go into the dark corners of society to find their own path rather than vicariously live through a cartoon character.
This makes them far more susceptible to wrongthink than they would have been if men were allowed to have their "problematic toxic male fantasy" role model.
Maybe they meant to do this?
I dunno, but it is quite fucking stupid to take away our bread and circuses, forcing us to explore the sick twisted thoughts in our violent and horny minds by acting them out in society.

>>280186003
Yes, sorry, had a brain fart and forgot the correct term

>>280186207
>they do it to prevent men from going to war, raping, pillaging etc
No, they do it because the manga/anime industry became too big andprofitable to risk losing bilions upon bilions of Yen for declining sales without giving shareholders an heart attack, so they must appeal as much people as possible, and thus you have editors who force authors to write shit that doesn't alienate women, people of any political orientation, or whatever the marketing division said to them was "of utmost importance".

It's pretty much a social instinct to want to belong to groups you feel a sense of belonging to. This has been happening since we're humans.

No it's a real thing I know people who are asexual and they genuinely have 0 drive, they just get a flag and an identity now but they've always existed it's just that nowadays we're prone to giving these things identity and considering them a group rather than considering it some personal quirk (or even flaw) of someone. Not saying it's good or bad that's just how it is.

>>280186207
I think it's due to the loneliness epidemic we're having, a lot of stories consciously or not try to make the MC relatable to the readers and they're afraid that a chad MC who gets pussy and romance would alienate readers. You see this super clearly with isekai where a NEET gets some magical escapism where he gets abducted into a life that doesn't feel pointless where he can be the hero. Most stories are written for the audience and this is even more noticeable with popular manga since there's pressure to do well.

I tried reading OP some years ago and i found Luffy genuinely creepy. He acts like an animal moved by instincts, not an actual human being. It is obvious Oda was trying to copy kid Goku, but Luffy is much less charming, funny or endearing than him. Plus he looks much older than kid Goku which makes his antics even more dumb. I guess this is why zoomers love One Piece. Since zoomers are uncapable of understanding real human emotion is pretty easy for them to self-insert as a character like Luffy.
