Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
Just so everyone understands I’m am 100% for diversity. As I’ve stated several times that you could take a character like Ten or Yamcha and have them come out as gay and it would have no affect on their overall character based off what we’ve been shown. (With Yamcha despite his “womanizer” behavior ...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
. . . White Christian men can’t become a minority in the US fast enough . . . Get off your high horse. What was the point of this comment? This is bigotry. I’m getting sick of seeing comments like this. Also Julie’s “white cishet men” rant comment regardless of context is bigotry. It was sexist and...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
There's nothing wrong with promoting progressive values, especially when the content is already in the original work. Piccolo shows no sexual or romantic interest in other characters. Simply calling that what it is--being asexual and aromantic--is nothing revolutionary. There is nothing 'shoehornin...

Re: What media haven't you consumed?
I've seen pretty much everything except for Kai. I started watching it and kind of gave up mid Namek arc. I've read all the manga. I'm not caught up on the heroes anime. I used to play every game that came out but gave up on that in the xbox 360 era. I played xenoverse 1 a couple times. I was really...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
perhaps very problematically, we immediately assume it's romantic and sexual when girls/women are involved due to our culture actively demonizing the idea of female friendship (something I've been studying recently, apparently male bonding and male fellowship is "legitimate" in both Weste...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
Having a character, let's just say Ten or Yamcha come out as gay would be fine and not affect or contradict anything that we've seen. Ten was somewhat repelled by Lunch's advances and Yamcha is a "womanizer", supposedly, but it wouldn't be stretch for him to be revealed as gay and he was j...

Re: Do you think we'll eventually get a new type of fusion introduced
I personally hope not. If anything I wouldn't mind them exploring the Namekian fusion more if only for the sake of making Piccolo more relevant again.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
People making broad sweeping claims about the media not showing LGBT+ characters in pop culture over the past decade are clearly misinformed or living under a rock. The Walking Dead. One of the most popular comics and TV shows of all time is extremely inclusive and has one of the best uses of a Gay ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Yeah, we're not getting stupid crap inserted into the scripts left and right like "KRILLIN'S IN DA HOUSE!!!!" or "That's right boys, Mondo Cool." anymore. They certainly have vastly improved in that area in terms of trying to remain more faithful to the original version, with no...

Re: Is DBS: Broly overrated?
Overall it probably is but compared to the other Dragon Ball movies it's definitely in the top 3 or 5.

Concentrating in an extremely high stakes environment where he was pushed to his absolute limits. Goku triggering UI isn't nearly as dramatic in the manga, but what Goku said still makes sense for the manga continuity. I think it's just the way the manga handled the TOP in general that makes it see...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Toyo retconing manga UI with anime UI is smart. If you can't beat it steal it. How's he retconing Manga UI? Because Goku said that in order to attained UI he had to be pushed to his absolute limit in a situation with extremely high stakes. That's what happened in the anime. In the manga Goku just t...

Re: Did Goku Unintentionally Sabotage The Strength Gains Of The Z Senshi Against Cell?
I think Vegeta and Trunks strength after their second trip into the room of spirit and time is downplayed greatly. There really isn't any way to even know how strong they were. Before his second trip Vegeta was potentially able to kill Perfect Cell with a "perfect" final flash, as in one t...

Re: Nappa & Vegeta final attacks power boost?
I always assumed Nappa at full power was around 8,000. Which is why the whole "over 8,000!" was such a big deal. Nappa and Vegeta were considered Elite Level Saiyans, so finding another with a power level in the same ballpark as theirs, plus his massive jump from the fight with Raditz, is ...

Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ: season 3 predictions?
What I want:
Majin Vegeta (or evolutioin install for Blue)
G.o.D. Toppo
Kefla
Roshi
I'd be very surprised if we don't get UI Goku though.

Re: Vic Mignogna
Pretty much. White cishet men never have to face consequences for how they treat women so they'd come to dehumanize women and forgotten how to emphasize with fellow human beings.

My choices: - Chaozu (What? We got 17.) - Toppo - Roshi (if lack of flight kills him then Dabra or Pikkon) - Kefla Toppo Roshi Kefla At this point I have seen so many people ask for these three that they SHOULD be a lock. But since we haven't gotten Roshi yet and he was the #1 most requested charac...

Something bad can still be entertaining much in the way that something good might not necessarily be all that engaging in spite of its quality.
