My comments about JoJo in Reddit are hidden because I got shadowbanned.

Reddit requires users to accumulate karma before they can fully participate. In practice, this means that your ability to post depends on receiving upvotes from other users.

However, after observing the platform for some time, I don't think highly upvoted posts and comments are necessarily the highest-quality ones. Original or intellectually sharp ideas often receive less attention than opinions that simply reinforce what the majority already believes.

The incentive structure seems to reward social conformity more than intellectual quality. People often upvote content not because it is the most insightful, but because it provides the comfort of agreement and reinforces a shared worldview.

As a result, Reddit's reputation system tends to filter out unconventional or challenging ideas. While it is effective at surfacing popular opinions, it is far less effective at identifying high-quality thinking. In that sense, the platform's design systematically favors consensus over insight.

I hope Lemmy grows into a community that values thoughtful, high-quality discussions.

I'd like to leave comments here that was hidden on my Reddit.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like how abstract the later Part 6 stands are.

Reality in fiction is not measured by how closely it resembles the ordinary world we experience, but by how deeply it approaches the truths of humanity and the world itself.

Whether one finds the bizarre Stand abilities in Part 6 appealing is ultimately a matter of taste. However, to conclude that their strangeness diminishes the work's sense of reality is to misunderstand the kind of reality Araki seeks to achieve.

The reality Araki pursues is not the superficial imitation of the real world. Rather, by portraying abilities and events that could never exist in reality, he reaches toward truths about human nature and the world that reality alone cannot fully express.

I was rewatching Part 4 and...i wish this event had more impact on the story

There is also a way of drawing by choosing not to draw.

Part 4, in particular, shows that we can perceive only a small fraction of what happens in a town. What the reader sees is nothing more than a series of fragments. Yet behind those fragments lies a vast network of untold events and unseen lives that remain outside the frame.

One of Part 4's central themes is precisely this: allowing us to sense connections that are invisible, yet undeniably real.

My comment about "JoJo's Bizzare Adventure" was removed by Reddit. Then my account has been shadowbanned.

r/StardustCrusaders - Is her soul made up of many tiny plankton souls that are arranged to look like her body?

My comment was:

Although Father Pucci's ability physically created F.F.'s body, it was Jolyne and her companions who created F.F.'s soul.

Before this scene, DIO and Pucci discuss the hypothesis that Leonardo da Vinci was a Stand user. Countless people are drawn, day after day, to paintings and sculptures that simply stand on display. That attraction has continued across centuries, transcending both time and death. Even DIO and Pucci remark that they have never encountered a Stand with such overwhelming power.

In other words, something that would seem impossible in the fictional world of JoJo is actually happening in the real world. Stands are a fantastical device, but what they ultimately point toward is not fantasy. They represent extraordinary human abilities that truly exist in reality. Revealing these seemingly impossible capacities of human beings is what JoJo's "hymn to humanity" is all about.

The portrayal of F.F.'s soul stands as one of the series' greatest expressions of its hymn to humanity.
