Let's discuss this professionally 
That means, no insult to any fanbase, any member or whatever whoever alike, alright buddies? Unintelligent accusation and things as such must be put aside before posting any comment in this thread.
Oh and please, for the ones that haven't caught up to the latest chapter yet, refrain yourselves from keep on reading. There bound to contain spoilers here.
Now, i have just finished reading a... strangely unique, realistically bizarre manga called as
Luckily enough it has been completed, only 3 volumes are published, yet deserve 5 stars rating just as other longer series. The art is rather unbearable for the first few chapters, but i believe you guys (as One Piece fans which are very well familiar with such feeling) won't mind about it as long as the plot is superb, so i did just that, and upon finishing my reading, it shed a light on certain issue about Zoro.
From the very beginning, Zoro has been portrayed as the most badass crew in Strawhats, if we excluded Luffy. Starting his first appearance in the series, where he stick to his verdict of not eating and drinking for 3 months straight to show the marines his seriousness, to the latest state of him cutting a gigantic, 'moving city' of Pica over several powerful slashes, the slang 'badass' is almost no longer doing any justice to all of that. However, because of the same reason, people begin to get annoyed by his continuous superior feats, and accuse Oda for spoiling the marimo more than others.
My point is, Oda perhaps has his own characterisation standard he put in Zoro, that is, probably one of them is to be that badass. Thanks to Oyaji manga, I think i can prove that to you through these images:
Oyaji (literally means 'father') is commonly a term for a middle aged man and beyond (but young men around 20's can also be called as Oyaji if they have such personae) that specifically ruthless, full of life experiences, impolite, unflattering reference, etc. However, following up Japanese arts and cultures, it is actually viewed as a man that is very mature, charismatic, hardworking and highly capable to protect others. Hence, the badassness. Oyaji in the Oyaji manga is stereotypical, the manliest of men.
Do notice both Zoro and Oyaji wear some identical attires, especially the haramaki. As we all know haramaki is usually worn by Japanese veterans, but for some reason Oda made Zoro wears that too. There must be a reason for such get up, despite Zoro's attire has changed after TS, he still keep his haramaki on. It's as if a sign of some kind of stereotype, and it leads to 'oyaji' principle.
Well, the bottomline is that maybe we could make do to this theory, where Oda is clearly trying to show that quality in Zoro with this concept. At the very least, the hate and annoyance on Zoro build up recently should be minimised and start to appreciate Zoro's efforts on becoming the WSS. We still have 10 years to go, there's so much room for other Strawhats to grow to our likings after all hence do cease the worries.
Feel free to say anything within the boundary.
