Whats with the people who accuse Super of supporting feminism and other SJW stuff?

Post by StressedJones » Wed Nov 15, 2017 12:14 pm

Been seeing more and more ranting about it in youtube.
The worst/most stupid I've seen is this guy who claimed he found two of the screenwriters of Super, but it was just two videos of them of telling people that they're coming to some cultural festival. Then saw same guy who made the claim in the comments sections screaming at the video and making a rant about feminism, fat acceptance, and other nonsense. He made the same rant in both videos like he was expecting them to read it.

The funny thing is the the channel that uploaded the videos been abandoned for two years and it and its not owned by either of them.

I get that Super made a lot of bad turns with its show and deserves critisism but what reason do they have to lose rationality and make stuff up?
Roshi sexually harassed 2 girls and Puar and the fat magical girl's existence is a joke. People getting angry at Kafla giving Goku in God for a hard time even though he got thrashed hard by Jiren not too long ago. People say that "Goku is worn out" is an excuse. But what about time when Goku was getting beaten up by Cell Jr? Heck, Cell even said that Goku's power has been spent. And in the manga when Vegeta went Blue for the second time, the power dropped to 10% and is less stronger than God.

Dragonball is a comic book and cartoon for 12 year old Japanese boys.

So there are two kinds of fans in the west this produces outside of other children.

1. Adults like myself and most of kanzenshuu's user base who acknowledge it and admit they are here because there were that age when they got into it and its gets a nostalgia-pass , or it has some transferable artistic merit they enjoy despite it not being high art.

2. Man baby arrested development types who insist DEEBEEZEE is hardcore and badass and violent and it's normal and fine that they like it. They are too insecure to admit they enjoy entertainment aimed at children and lash out at anyone or anything that sets off the cognitive dissonance in their heads. On the venn diagram this overlaps with alt-light gamergate types with no social or communicative skills who believe paranoid conspiracy theories like men being femenized and social just types trying to kill them with post modern neo marxism or whatever Stephan “cult leader” molyneux or Jordan “even Sam Harris thinks I'm obnoxious” Peterson tells them on youtube
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

People with no real experience doing critique tend to look for external scapegoats above all else. These kinds of people are the same kinds of people who are born and bred in the sheltered, gross, boys' club corners of the internet. When you combine that all into a Dragon Ball "fan", you get someone screaming this kind of nonsense.

It's best for you to simply ignore these kinds of people and instead look for and support other fans offering unique, comprehensive, thoughtful commentary and analysis.

If you would like to discuss these kinds of fan-works, we have an entire sub-forum dedicated to it.
