honestly it's amazing how sabo is like. everything I've ever wanted out of a character.

revolutionary/freedom fighter trope but is NOT demonized by the narrative for his radical beliefs/actions that are necessary to further his goal of peace because of the nature of the world he exists in. his past dosnt just exist as a half-assed attempt at adding 'nuance' (pity) to his character but directly shows where his ideals and beliefs come from and shape him as a person and it's never something that's ridiculed or downplayed. being a revolutionary is rightfully framed as the sacrifice it is for the greater good and doesnt defult-ly exist in a binary of 'good' or 'bad', but rather shows the difficult but necessary path of societal reform.

#can you tell I'm sick of centrism in media?#sabo is my reward for surviving jet and hama from at//la. scar from fma. sasuke from naruto. Adam and Sienna from rvvby. etcetc #it's so common for revolutionarys to be demonized and framed as 'just as bad' as their oppressors for being reactionary and it makes me #wanna rip my hair out!#and I will call it what it is. conscious or not. copaganda!#one piece isn't a perfect piece of media but I can appreciate how oda is willing to be alot more willing to take stances and explore #complex political and world building ideas #and is majoritively anti authoritarian #sabo ily sm thank you for existing #as much as I love Luffy and look up to him I think my personal ideals line up alot more with him too #psii.txt #text #revolutionary sabo
