Not only, as Nab pointed out, the definition you linked inclusive of "aversion to" and "discrimination against", but if you want to get into semamtics about word meaning based on etymology, "homophobia" shouldn't translate to anything about homosexuality. The prefix "homo" means "same", so "homophobia" should translate to "irrational fear of the same". It doesn't mean that because the word is relatively new to the language and uses the root words loosely. So, just because the literal word means "irrational fear of the same" that's not actually what it is defined as. Wherein, it can be inferred that since "homo" is applied loosely, so may be "phobia".

9/10, properly conveys Nab. Almost too close.

You'd have to change basically everything about One Piece to make it even watchable.

That's good. Those OVAs would've been a pain to find if I didn't already know where to look.

Whatever floats your shitty boat. Unless your boat is floated by dick pics. That gross.

I bet he doesn't even get a happy ending, either.

Let's hope for quadriplegic, so he stops being able to type.

To be fair, '99 abruptly cuts off at the last 3rd of Yorknew, so to finish the arc at all you have to track down a set of OVAs that are likely to have wildly different translation, and I believe '99 was licensed at some point but the conclusive Yorknew OVAs were not. So unless you sought out a separate fansub of the first OVAs, there may be a chance you didn't even see the whole arc. Either way, the first OVAs which finishes Yorknew is pretty great. Yorknew in general is for whichever version. I dunno, Greed Island OVAs aren't terrible or anything, they're probably the worst part of '99 though. Especially during the first batch they feel like the production value plummeted and an unfinished/unpolished product was released. It gets better as it goes, but those OVAs are kinda hard to judge.

I don't think he understands that shows can have shifting protagonists. It'd be hilarious if he weren't so depressingly incompetent.

After sitting on it, almost all the material covered by both versions is in my opinion better in '99. Even Yorknew in a lot of places I prefer '99, but they're both great adaptions of that arc. Only place I might say 2011 did better with the same material is Greed Island and some aspects of Heaven's Arena, but not even in entirety. On the other hand, Chimera Ant is fantastic and takes up nearly the entire second half of the show.
