1) I think Isshiki scales above the ETSO by his own merits
2) I’m not being dishonest, you just clearly don’t comprehend the two arguments
And Lex stop coping day in and day out. Trust me, y’all’s threads aren’t being rejected by bias. I get it, it’s disheartening to see your personal metas not win out, but instead of directing energy towards creating these imaginary boogeymen, direct it towards refining your arguments. I was quite literally in the same spot y’all were in but with bleach like 3-4 years ago, doing the same kind of whining, etc etc. All that got me was zero progress and a ban. What did work however was refining my arguments, being patient as new material came out, and an overall shift in attitude towards the people evaluating my threads. I’m not saying all this to white knight y’all, I’m saying it because I quite literally was in your shoes, I’ve been there and done that lol. And it’s just not worth the energy to whine over powerscaling.
Are people biased? Yes, that’s an inevitability (you can mitigate bias by building good relationships with staff you think are biased, worked for me), but are the core group of Naruto thread mods biased against the verse? Hell no. I know plenty of the core Naruto CRT group that believes in people like Isshiki and Baryon Mode Naruto being beyond the ETSO for their own personal scaling. In fact most of us think that there’s a decent likelihood that a couple years from now we get more Shibai info that makes him universal. Whether or not you take us at our word is entirely up to you.
