If One Piece was the most popular battle shonen in the US instead

Naruto isn't banned.
Sadly.

It used to be though.

Yes. 4chan is contrarian central.

Don't think so because Oda is doing a great job considering how long the guy is writing a single story for give or take 20 years. Plus the story is really enjoyable and hadblikable characters and increasing in fan service because of Sanji's time on the gender bender island.

No because One Piece has managed to maintain a mostly consistent level of quality throughout its run. /a/ hates Naruto because its absolute garbage.

That said One Piece threads have been cancerous since the start of the Whole Cake Island arc.

Twas a meme. Anons used to create fake Naruto threads to metashitpost in, and that became a bannable offense. Actually attempting to discuss Naruto has always been allowed in small amounts.
To answer OP's question, yes, anything that attracts that many newfriends will inevitably have to be controlled and discouraged. One Piece's saving grace is that it isn't nearly as retarded as Naruto was.

>/a/ hates Naruto because its absolute garbage.
Bleach not getting nearly the same amount of hate invalidates that argument.

Because then they'd have to admit it.
