Actually studies have shown that people who have been victims of abuse often become the abuser. This could be a classic example, children who are born under an abusive household are more likely to become abusive in their own relationships considering that is the only behaviour they witnessed and that behaviour grants the abuser the authority, something Boa obviously craves.
It's naive to think that people would treat others better because they have been treated badly.
Quote:Um...no. Saving him once doesnt really overlap the bond between luffy, nami and robin. She did all she did just for someone she loved, which is actually pretty creepy because of the huge age gap, he was still underage when she fell for him and shes older then Robin is. Kinda gross imo.
Ok I have no idea why you brought up Nami and Robin and their bond with Luffy since I didn't mention it at all in my post? *confused*
Yes it's creeepy, but again Hancock is stuck in a childish phase (the tantrums she throws etc) all that just show that she never truly grew up and once again that is actually a common trait of victims of trauma, the ability to block their traumatic experience out of their system in that way she is still the 8 year old she was when she was kidnapped. It's a very unhealthy way to deal with trauma but it's actually very common.
Quote:Its not about relating, its about the character itself. She was boring. It has nothing to do with gender. At all.
And my favorite character (ever, in any manga) is Usopp. So yeah, dont pin me as a Zoro worshiper. Because I am not.
Actually it has everything to do with relating. We like certain characters because we can relate to them in one way or another be it character traits, sense of humour, interests or simply style. Most people can not relate to Hancock because they cannot understand the effect of long term trauma on a person, moreso a woman.
And also nowhere did I imply you were some kind of Zoro worshiper. I haven't brought Zoro at least once in my arguments and I would barely considering him "evil". That last paragraph was a general comment not adressed to you in particular o_o
