I don't see any reason why other works have to be brought up in a completely unrelated work.
That too when that work is very traumatizing and triggering. Why bring up something like that when people are trying to enjoy a totally different genre.
Now this work brings up associated feelings with the other work, when ever people look at this poster. Just because some cultist people can't control their feelings. That other work is still on this site. Please use that for your discussions on that work.
This is a type of ruining a perfectly good work for other people.
I generally look at the comments to see if there is any sensitive content in the work. Instead I see people repeatedly mentioning some other work which is totally unrelated, and has very triggering content. This in fact again brings up bad feeling to light.

A completely different genre? Triggering things? You realize Max Mojave's case has those subjects right? You realize the similarity with banana fish doesn't stop at blond and brunette protagonists right? If you don't want people to bring it up maybe use a different argument than " they're totally different" they're not.

You do realize Max (THE MAIN CHARACTER) was not raped as a child right? You do realize he was not used for a child prostitute right? You do realize he was not raped constantly even as an teen/adult right? How is this same as that work?
Yes, there are such elements, but not with main characters. And a simple trigger warning would have sufficed if people wanted to warn other people of such elements. But noooo. people won't do that.
Apart from looks, mob and some scenarios, it's literally a different story line and their personalities are also different.
Even if 2 works are a bit similar, what is the point of bringing one into another. There are so many comments here saying this is "2.0" or "They are literally Ash and Eiji", or "I hope the author doesn't kill Max because it happened to Ash.", so on and so forth. The whole comments section is filled with this. Are people really reading THIS work or just trying to hang on to the feelings they got from other work. I think it's the later. Totally like a CULT.
And not just this one.. Any other manga or any video on YouTube with a characters with similar looks, BAAM.. The cult started commenting "ash and eiji" "ash and eiji". We get it, they look a bit similar, but stop with the cultist mindset and these comments.
Also, here are a few examples (from this site) of how people bring that work into literally anything.

And so on.. This is just the tip of iceberg. There are literally thousands of comments all across this site, reddit, YouTube etc. I can't see this as anything but as a CULT.

May be it's not serious for you, but for others it is. There are tons of comments in this section asking for people to stop bringing up that work into this.
It's triggering for some people. People get physically sick due to such triggers. If this work had the same amount of triggering content or trauma, then it might not have been so disturbing (Because people who have those issues wouldn't be reading this work in that case). But what am I expecting from people. Seriously... A genuine request with reasoning triggers such responses.
Calling people dumb or asking to "calm the fuck down" is easy to do. But there is no substantial reason for anyone to actually understand or follow what you want with just these words.
If someone wants to get their point through they have to explain. That explanation might lead to such long paragraphs.
I believe in explaining my viewpoint instead of just name calling others. If you have a problem with that, nothing I can do about it.
I see many people bring up Banana Fish in works with (pretty) blond and black characters. Like this one, Jeweler Richard and so many more.
That shit work is very traumatizing and has a LOT of triggering content like child r@pe, prostitution and r@pe. THIS WORK DOES NOT. Why compare and mention it here.
I understand people might miss that work or what ever and cannot handle the fact that it ended, but please, request all of you people to stop bringing it up in all other works for no apparent reason.
