I hope it's true, that Oda is alive and well. I hope that his family and VAs of OP anime are okay too. I heard that Luffy's and Zoro's VAs are alive and well.

You guys need to be ashamed of yourselves, putting One Piece on a pedestal over the 1,000's of people affected by this disaster. There are many people we do not know that may have lost an entire family, their wives, husbands, children, relative, friends, colleagues, and all I see on these damn OP boards is "omg, is Oda alright"?! "If you wanna know about other celebrities"..... if something happened to those "special" people, fine, be sad, but be sad for mom and pop who died as well. Oh wait, they aren't on tv or voice anime characters, screw them.

WTF, not one person on this planet is "better" than another, it's one thing to have sympathy for the man, but to focus only on him is the reason why I hope this world ends in 2012, humans are hopeless and need to be wiped out (understanding I would be included I have no worries).

Wow... wow.. wow... Way to overreact aboriginal. They NEVER once said that they didn't care about the other people who got hurt. Of course they do care but it's natural to express worry for someone you feel some sort of kinship of admiration towards. Why can't we say we're worried about our favorite movie star/ mangaka/ singer etc without people making it seem like we're total jackasses? We're not jackasses. It's human nature to worry about someone you know over someone you don't.

TC, if people "cared" for all those affected by the earthquake, why the hell did the morons who posted in your thread reply with "if you wanna know about other celebrities" and "is Oda alright", instead of "I can't imagine what must be going on in the minds of all those this disaster has reached", or something like that. These "kids" wanna know if Oda is alright, I guarantee Oda is thinking "are my family, friends and colleagues alright", not "I hope I can still do One Piece to appease the anime lovers from other countries".

You are right I cannot assume what is going on in their heads, but I can tell a person about what they actually write down or from something said, that is emperical evidence right there that cannot be denied.

You want roughly 7 billion people to die because a few dozen teenagers on One Piece forums are acting like teenagers on One Piece forums? People like you make me sick more than blindly selfish jackasses.

Yes I do, sokpupet. A prescription from the doctor can't cure what's ailing you (lack of intelligence and common sense). Also, do not assume that all the members on this site are teenagers, that is a poor excuse if I ever heard one. When I was a teenager (and currently) I feel sorrow simply reading the paper and getting to the obituary section, sorrow towards people I never even knew, every single day I read the paper. If that is what "blindly selfish jackasses" do, thank you for the compliment.

I'll say it again and I don't care this is a One Piece forum and whom it caters to, stop glorifying and idolizing "famous" people, they are not better or special than any other person in this world, be it they are on death row for murder or rape or the guy that's been homeless in your area all your life that you knew of his or her existence.

Very unfair aboriginal; you cannot speak for others and how they feel. Besides that, it would be the same if it had been any other country where celebrities are prominent. If the damage to California had been at the same level, you'd see many, likely MORE such things wondering about the entirety of Hollywood - from actor/actresses to producers.

This forum, however, is for One Piece, so it is natural to come to this part of the internet looking for information on people in Japan related to that series. For me it is touching to see that people are concerned. We know these people's names, have heard their voices and seen their faces. If nothing else, that makes it all the more real for people who may not actually know anybody personally in Japan. This is how some relate and better understand that it's not just Japan, it's the people who are the most affected.

Personally? I'm still looking for a friend in Japan who hasn't responded following the destruction. She is not a celebrity in any way, shape or form, but I know her. I worry for her, and her family. I'm allowed to do that even knowing that she is one of the millions affected by this. Just as each person has his or her own worries and concerns over this tragedy.

As always though, you are entitled to your opinion; however I would hope that you reconsider how to address this kind of matter and the sensitivities that it encompasses.

I hope this is true. However the person (oda) isn't really as important as one piece itself, he is important because he makes it.

We all do. I don't read the paper or watch the news because the only stories that are popular are bad ones. I'd rather live as happy as I can.

Edit: Okama way!

Not good with the quote button so I gotta do it this way......

dzeratul, you don't find it irrational that the first thing people mentioned about their safety of this disaster are the ones who are glorified in Japan's society??? That is borderline elitism if not elitism at it's fullest. Nobody ever cares about the little man and woman on this planet, it was the same thing with the Indonesia incident, people going bonkers in the media and online worrying about celebrities, it is sickening.

Do you know what is disheartening here? People getting upset at me for wanting others to simply post about how they are worried for everyone affected instead of "top of the totem pole" citizens is the problem here, pointing out what has only been stated is not being blind by any means. And I do not want to believe that the posters in this thread are shallow-minded, but you gotta make me a believer first, because you see, after I pointed out the ignorance of those members who chose to only worry about a select few from that earthquake, only then did the "compassion" towards everyone was brought up.

*****

Kiarae, it is not unfair, it is reality, I want to know what makes these people so special in the first place. Ohhhh he has a really good manga going on so that puts him on the higher tier list of humans, and do not forget about the self-observed celebs who make some movies, these are the ones that need to be kept in everyone's thoughts and prayers, it is ridiculous.

I never said you or anyone else aren't "allowed" to do a certain thing, I'm not God nor will I claim to be, you not having heard from your friend is probably tearing you apart, the same way those in Japan that have missing friends and family most likely are feeling, and it is neither selfish or ignorant to worry about your friend, if you weren't worrying about your friend's whereabouts then that would be selfish.

I would like to tell you a story that happened to me, a very close friend of mine lost his father a few months back, I knew him and his father for over 15 years but I chose not to go to the funeral to pay respects, instead I stayed home. Why? I can't stand to see people saddened by something, especially a loss from someone close to them, my appearance would be like a joke to his family members. I got off track but when I spoke to my friend the next day he thought I didn't care when in reality I was heartbroken as well, his father was a really good man, someone to be proud of to have as a father, it's not like me showing up was gonna magically bring him back or make everyone feel better, and I do not want to be thought of as wallowing at the funeral, I prefer to have to never go to a funeral, it's not something for me to be proud of, parading in the faces of those affected that "hey, I showed up now respect me" is the cool thing or on a different level, honorable thing. After I spoke to my friend he understood my side of the story and I apologized to his mother as well, and she told me I had nothing to apologize for, him being in my heart was more than enough for her.

******

sokpupet, call me miserable or any other name, but you know what is worse??? When someone doesn't think a thing of you at all.

******

KajiwaraSora, Oda still isn't as important as you make him out to be. That is a dire situation to be in, the only thing that should be important to people is either trying to help, or at least genuinely caring for EVERYONE that have been affected, not just worry about a man who makes a manga and some people who are on tv and in the media. It is like a big sigh of relief to certain people that this man is ok (and rightfully so), but they make it seem since he is safe that is all that really matters which is foolish.

Okama way indeed. Do you remember 9/11? You know what was pathetic about that entire tragedy, it took thousands of people to die and suffer for people to finally realize what it means to be human, having compassion for strangers and so forth. Letting strangers use your cell phone or even getting water for another, anyone in NY (or anywhere else for that matter) please ask a stranger could you use their cellphone for an emergency, I guarantee people will look at you spitefully or just be rude and ignore you. That is what I am talking about, the self-centeredness of society will never dissipate, it always takes a super tragedy for people to wanna worry about another, and then they throw it in everyone's faces like a child who got their first A "look what I did", the compassion is superficial.

*******

Doc. Chopper, I'm not a fan of facebook or any other social site, it's like one big competition of stupidity, nobody cares what you just ate (not you, examples on facebook), nobody cares that you just woke up or are going to sleep, rather nobody should care, but millions of people do, it makes me ashamed to be a human being. Whoever is saying the earthquake is payback are people who think they are entitled to something, in this case, taking pride in those who are suffering.

I thought what made animals "worse" than humans is the kill or be killed attitude they have and not worrying about other animals, but what I see every single day are the human beings who take pride in stepping on others, shoving them out of their way and never giving a helping hand to someone in a desperate situation or in need. True compassion is nonexistent in this world for human kind, unless something really crazy happens, THEN people want to act like they care about others. Take Michael Jackson, for years people made fun of him and calling him a weirdo, crazy, sick, self-hating,even a pedophile when they don't even know him or even knew if it really happened (I highly doubt he did). But when he died the americans now had remorse for him and practically worshipped him and everybody was his biggest fan. Oh please, all they were doing were being followers, it's just a big scramble to try to outdo someone else, they still have those strings attached to them, tools of society.

whats so wrong about a one piece community wanting to know if its creator is ok.
Also I don't know 1000's of Japanese people I only know 1 and that's Oda so i hope every one else is ok but he is on the top of my list.

aboriginal, everything about why we care about Oda has already been said, but I noticed the fact that you already seem to have a lot of built up spite against modern society and human nature... and it seems to me that you're taking it out on everyone here simply for the fact that they wish Oda well.  This is a One Piece forum and its only natural for Oda to be mentioned, I mean, everyone knows him.

Everyone here cares about everyone affected by the earthquake... why do you choose to question that?

Aboriginal:

You criticize people caring about another person by being a douche on an internet forum, hoping everyone dies, and posting long winded rants on your own pathetic problems? Please pull you head out of your ass and STFU. Any more of this nonsense and you're a troll.

*sigh*

I'm closing this thread. There's another thread already created for the earthquake. (for the earthquake and not aboriginal being an emo moron)
