#basically people need to start appreciating shuggy more bc look at them!!!!!!!! the angst they bring!!!!!!!

Imo shuggy is mostly case of fandom loving pretty boys

Let’s make experiment

What would happen if you swapped Buggy design with young Rayleigh, Mihawk, Smoker, or whoever is trending now?

Shuggy never would be main one but definitely popular since chapter 19 and time in manga (a lot of ships lacks it, still more seen in tags), fear of cancellation (look at any fandom popular ships) has very little to do with the way things are now.

I’ve been thinking about it since OPLA happened and suddenly it got popular. Because of buggy actor being good looking.

I just get bitter every time someone brings it up, sorry.

Mic drop

You're so real for this. I already said it, but basically one of the only reasons why the ship isn't more popular is because people refuse to admit Buggy is hot lmfao. OPLA's success made people suddenly like Buggy wayyyy more (same thing happened with Usopp. My blood is boiling).

And the cancellation thing, once again, I say it's because I've seen people complaining about that and that's why I mention it in my post. But "the way things are now" is way worse than they used to be. You literally can't ship anything without people coming at you complaining about every little thing. I mean, I have shitty recent experiences with people that complained about me shipping Lawlu (funny experience because I don't even ship them that much lmfao). I get what you're trying to say, but what I meant by cancel culture being one of the main reasons why the ship is not more popular here, is that the Japanese side of the fandom doesn't seem to care about that and that's why that little half that sees Shuggy as siblings and also talks shit about the shippers probably doesn't exist over there.
