Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

damn, i wish i didn't have to fear men on the streets i personally don't really care for comparison stuff, because i think that misses the forest for the trees (bad things are bad, no matter how rich and powerful you are or are not). also, jk rowling can go fuck herself You're so surly, I love it.

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

*bullshit* I'm not sure where you got the idea that I was calling huge Hollywood bigwigs "average everyday people". I genuinely don't know where you got that. I brought up Tarantino in the context that he wasn't some corporate shill pumping out mass-produced crap like Marvel or Star Wars;...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

Yeah no I dont think so. Au Revoir! Hey, Cure. You were supposed to sign back in as julie before replying. How's the Dr. Slump discord doing, btw? This is not funny. Furthermore, any insinuation that I am a man (i.e. Cure) is really insulting. I am a woman, and I will be referred to as such. You ha...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

Sorry, Cure. Anyways, are we gonna talk about female inclusivity in dragon ball or what? Akane Kimidori. I know she's only in like 3 episodes but what a character. Tomboyish, hates cooking and is surly and very smart. And likes to stir up trouble. Quite an interesting choice for Toriyama-sensei. He ...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

This is classic TERF playbook rollout stuff, up through and including dismissing it as a spooky boogeyman. Indeed, it’s not fooling anyone… except perhaps you? I like to give the benefit of the doubt in all reasonable cases, so perhaps it’s true you’ve (to an earlier Kunzait point about a different...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

[ The stereotypically paternal one here is Goku, the dad who leaves to follow his own interests while someone else cares for his child There's a lot to unpack here, possibly involving a therapist, and I am far from qualified. Needless to say I guess it checks out with your terf rhetoric . And in th...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

I'm not really a fan of this sort of topic, (DEI, more like "DE why?" amirite) but I would like to point out that Toriyama subverts the feminine very well with Ma Junior. See in Dr. Slump, Toriyama had already exploited/parodied the most feminine exercise of all, child birth, with Midori'...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

So let’s just get it out in the open: Your first post mocks DEI and then your second (seems to?) say(s) “I’m a TERF.” Is this where this is heading? Should we just call it now while we’re ahead? I don’t really see the point of wasting each other’s time, right? Or is there a crazy misunderstanding t...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

@julieybm From a human perspective, because I know bugs and junk can reproduce asexually and that's obviously not what we're taking about here, but in the case of humans, birth is always feminine. It cannot be unfeminine. Life bursts forth from the matrix, ie mother's womb, ie female womb. Whether t...

Re: Dragon Ball Dance and Light Show in China

Yeah, Dr. Slump is popular in China, and the little girl who played young Chi Chi was able to come back out on stage for the finale as Arale. Logistically speaking, that was a good idea. Overall, I thought it was pretty damn good. And it made sense to skip Gohan and Piccolo, I mean Dragon Ball is a ...

Re: Gag Characters: what makes Arale and others like her incompatible when comparing Dragon Ball power levels?

I have a little nostalgia when it comes to "power scaling," I enjoyed the DBZ table top RPG off and on when I first got into the fandom and it has a lot of that sort of thing in it. Plus Toriyama's use of scouters really fired my imagination back then. (A meter to check a person's power! C...

Gag Characters: what makes Arale and others like her incompatible when comparing Dragon Ball power levels?

Dragon Ball fans like to talk about power levels between characters but then will omit someone like Arale saying she has "gag force" and "toon power." Online definitions for a gag character say it's a character that is the comic relief, basically. By that definition, a third of t...

Re: If faced with the choice of sacrificing the franchise's massive popularity

If not for its massive popularity, America's landfills would be missing metric tons of Cell saga VHS tapes, and we can't have that.

Re: Dr. Slump VIZisms

Man, when Viz changed Arale's birthday from the 3rd to the 17th, that was past "vizism" into negligence. I mean, how do you "mistranslate" a numeral into another numeral?
