Re: LGBT in DragonBall

Have you ever actually met a transgendered person? Or a homosexual, for that matter? There isn't some magic condition with trans people that makes them naturally more depressed than other people. It's because they face the same kinds of discrimination, hatred, and sometimes mortal peril that homose...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

You know what, you're absolutely right. It doesn't harm anyone if the characters are also all white in media. Things should stay exactly the same they have always been, shouldn't they? Why change anything? Isn't it fun being reductive? Now you're just equating Dragon Ball to "all media" u...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

By that view, if making a character straight isn't going to add anything to the story, what's the point of it? Especially in a story like Dragon Ball with the romance down to a minimum, it would change nothing were some of the characters LGBTQIA. Absolutely nothing. It would harm no one. It also ha...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

Sulu from Beyond was a pretty good way of doing it, he's there, he's got a husband and kid and the story never takes a sledgehammer and bashes you in the nutsack about how cool and hip and fresh it's being because oh my god! I read this a lot, but I can't say I agree with it. If making a character ...

Re: If Goku joined the Justice League...

They're far from helpless, they've got plenty of tech and abilities around to send Goku back to his home universe. If that's out of the question, Superman himself will kill Goku when he does something so idiotically selfish that he'll have no choice but to put him down. Contrary to popular belief, ...

Re: If Goku joined the Justice League...

Going slightly off-topic. Maybe not the Justice League for reasons stated (that Saiyan blood is going to make him a menace in a universe like that...kind of like how he is in the Super anime right now), but MAYBE Goku would fit a bit better along with the Avengers. They'd have their problems with h...

Re: Do you consider the Boo saga better than Super in general terms?

No. The Buu saga was where I initially stopped watching the anime, moved to the manga and started watching other anime. Didn't feel it as much despite a very interesting beginning.

To my surprise, I'm actually enjoying watching Super weekly. I didn't even enjoy the Buu saga four days a week.

Right, doesn't mean it's acceptable. You also claimed that wanting representation was part of a 'retarded victim mentality'. Nope. Another blatant case of hearing what you want to hear. Here's the quote: I think the idea that we should insert alternative identities sexualities into everything is ri...

Oh, please. I knew I liked boys from a very young age. It's nothing to do with abuse. "As a general rule." Do you know what that means? "More often than not." "In most cases." Need I go on? And you're constant referring to representation and diversity of a cancer isn't...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

Children don't care about sexuality because that's not something they'll experience until they hit puberty. As a general rule, this is true. The only time children tend to experience sexual identity pre-puberty is as a result of abuse, even in cases where the child doesn't remember said abuse. Howe...

Yamcha asexual? Krillin closeted?? Yamcha would be asexual, heteroromantic. Asexuality is a biological disinterest in sex, you can absolutely fall in love someone, appreciate how they look, enjoy cuddling, romance. I'm in a relationship with an asexual man (10 years this year). He can still want wo...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

Plenty of people want that kind of representation. Look at something Orange is the New Black, it has that kind of representation. No one would mind if Kylo Ren was not straight (no indication he is either) and Snoke was originally going to be a woman (apparently the reason will be revealed later an...

Re: LGBT in DragonBall

For a long time the most positive portrayal of a gay person in the media was a sexless, camp deviant. At worst, a pedophile or rapist. Purely because of sexuality. (And for the longest time were not acknowledged as wanting children or stable relationships, because they're sluts, despite being sexle...

Re: What'd a proper English cast of Dragon Ball sound like?

Why? I don't see any problems with imagining how a Cartoon Network dub of Dragon Ball Z Abridged would sound like. Its more of a what if statement too. Because that "show" doesn't even deserve a what if of that sort. That's a matter of opinion, but even then considering the amount of work...

You will for a few more years at least.

I'm 30. And I still feel stupid and childish most of the time. Been a Dragon Ball fan for seventeen years. Next year my fandom can legally drink.
