@lemmy.worldI agree with another commenter that this not something that people consciously think about when they do it. I think the main thing you’re touching on is groupthink. This is the reason that groups of people behave differently than you’d expect individual people to.
Positions of leadership (and therefore power) as an institution are traits passed down to us from Feudalists who organized society in hierarchies. I would say groupthink allows these kinds of social structure to continue long past the point that people realize there a better ways because they assume other members of the group are okay with them.
That’s all not to mention the fact that some people are genuinely skilled leaders or that people in positions of leadership are going to have a bigger influence in what is accepted in the group.

honestly idk why they’d be pissed. part 3 is way too long and the first half is basically just a monster of the week format. it’s one of the weaker parts as far as pacing is concerned.
the thing with jjba is that each part gets better than the last.
valid, but you’re missing out on some of the greatest fantasy worldbuilding of all time. check out the live action or the manga if you aren’t outright opposed to those.
