I know it's a personal opinion but regarding the lewd stuff that everyone is complaining about: like, they know this isn't the first lewd kind of thing in jojo, right? Like the OG manga has a lot of questionable stuff in general. Plus, literally right when she was introduced, jolyne was masturbating and talks about sex quite a bit. But apparently when someone other than Araki writes it they're a bad guy?
(I'm not coming at you or trying to be rude to you btw- I hope I'm not coming across that way- it's just all this hate stuff towards the author on twitter is just overwhelming and they are making themselves look like clowns for making a big deal out of nothing. Like if you don't like it you don't like it but that doesn't condone you acting like a psycho to the author for it, you know?)
Jojo surely isn't free from lewd-y things -as you cited, Jolyne's masturbation and other stuff- but I think that the main problem here is that the "nsfw" stuff is the main focus of the entire one shot. Like, did we need 30 pages of Jolyne being forced to feel horny by an enemy stand? I'm not so sure about it. Like, if this wasn't the main focus but something that was framing a more solid plot I think nobody would have nothing to say about it. Like you mentioned, kinda lewd stuff isn't something new in Jojo, but here it was too overwhelming, in my opinion. I'm not going to say it was hentai, buuut it was really really near to be kinda similar to a soft p*rn, which again. Did we feel the need to have a spin-off completely dedicated to it? Again, not so sure about it.
As I said in my previous answer, it was a kinda soulless short comic, and the themes that could have been explored -I found interesting how Fujiko's obsession towards Jolyne excalated into a sort of religious veneration- were rushed at the end, leaving too much space to Jolyne going around and being just forced to feel horny. Not even Fujiko was fully explored: she showed up, drew nice art, was given a stand, the horny thing happened, it excalated and then bam, memories erased and bye bye. Her actions had no consequences in any way, as everything she did and caused was simply erased in the end by Pucci when he realised he had fucked up, he took the stand back and see ya later honey. Like... I can see it as something written for fun, but for it to be even published on ultra jump? I can see it a little less.
And once again, someone might have liked it, someone not, but this doesn't justify any hate the author is receiving. Why should someone send toxic hate to someone else because they did something that they didn't like will always be beyond my comprehension. Just shrug it off, c'mon
And don't worry, you didn't come off as rude! I understand the frustration seeing an author being vexed like that, and your asks were a good prompt to explain why I didn't like the spin off! By the way, what's your opinion about the one shot?
