Let me clear something up.
I don't think anyone is hating on Zoro as a charachter, but there are a few people who are wanking him here in this forum. I don't mind calling names, and 2 of them are already in this thread. So that says more than enough. Topic starter and Aqueel are prime examples.
In the meanwhile they talk about others being butthurt, yet they are the ones who go in full force and create threads like this. You are the ones who trigger reactions everytime you make stupid statements.
To name a few in this thread alone: Zoro for Pirate King, and Zoro is the first mate.
The first is just stupid and will never happen, and is just as annoying as Zoro soloes your fav. The second line is just simply untrue, if anything Usopp is the first mate.
Prett sure no one questions Zoro's fighting capabilities within the strawhats, he is the second strongest. But maybe you should accept that others could have a different opinion, because Zoro is a flat 1 dimensional character who doesn't add much to the story.
He disapears for the entire arc doing something useless, he pops up to fight a strong opponent and he finishes with a cheesy one liner. It has become way to predictable unlike other members of the SH's.
So Zoro hate ? No I don't think there is any. The hate is directed towards people like topicstarter, aqueel, Hixa, Ronaldo avatar guy and some more. No one doubts that Zoro is second strongest in the SH crew, but his character has become a bit bland, and he isn't getting any development either anymore for the past few arcs.
