Dear JoJo fans: is part skipping ethical?

[ShuriKitty]

I feel like this is a controversial topic in the fandom but I personally believe skipping part 1 is fine as long as you watch it later. Part 2 I'm on the fence about but again, watching it after like a prequel is fine I think. I've seen so many people drop the show on part 1 because it's boring.
Skipping to part 2 or 3, I think, is fine because both of those are more engaging, have more time for characters to develop, and don't have generic 1 sided stories like Phantom Blood.

However, skipping to Steel Ball Run to catch up with everyone else... Well you can do that if you want but you won't get any references to the previous parts and even though its a universe reset and Netflix AND Araki say you can start there: I don't recommend it.

Overall I think skipping parts is fine if you watch them later, exception being skipping straight to part 7

I think if u want to, u can skip pt1 to 6 n start wt 7, even if ur missing alot of context n js the jojos experience as a whole
If u like it, u can start watching the whole anime
The ppl i dont like tho r the ppl who skip pt 1 n 2 to see stands, theyre missing out ALOT since pt2 is one of the best parts

@macncheese. And even though Battle Tendency is short, the character arcs are pretty good, like Caesar respecting Joseph finally and Joseph knowing what it means to be a true warrior
