That's so odd. I know I've seen people say "DB, Z, and GT", which seems to me like the obvious way to shorten them all... shortening Dragon Ball to just "Ball" by itself is about the most clunky, awkward way to do it.People here and elsewhere used it to distinguish between the original three anime series, so they'd say Ball, Z and GT, because the first series didn't have a suffix.

Re: Things that grind your gears
I haven't seen this on this site, but it irritates me when people constantly bash GT and Super to the point where thats the only thing they ever talk about.

Guy A: I've been watching Ball and it's so freaking awesome!
Guy B: So, uh, which sports channel do they broadcast that?
Guy A: It's not a sport show.
Guy B: What is it then?
Guy A: It's a Japanese cartoon series.
Guy B: Which one?
Guy A: Dragon Ball.
Guy B: Why the fuck not just say Dragon Ball, then?
Guy A: I thought it was smart to just call it 'Ball' as it shortens it.
Guy B: Yeah, right. Let's just watch that then.

When people tend to capitalize every word in their sentence. It drives me insane and makes me feel like I'm reading stuff that was written by robots.

Ah, you mean Runescape caps? (That game's chat forces all-caps into... that format.) It is extremely weird for people to put the effort into writing wrong like that. But this isn't really Dragon Ball related.8000 Saiyan wrote:When people tend to capitalize every word in their sentence.

What grinds my gears are people saying that DBS is better than DB/Z.

Re: Things that grind your gears
I find it funny when some people say DBS is amazing or better than DB/Z. Obviously, these kind of fans are newcomers who didn't grow up with Classic Dragon Ball so they think it's the best out there.Dbzfan94 wrote:What grinds my gears are people saying that DBS is better than DB/Z.
In Dragon Ball Super they even made Freeza into a good guy, the same guy who destroyed planets! I guess one could argue that Broli can be a good guy too when he's not pissed off.

Re: Things that grind your gears
So, apparently, Satan using the term "fake news" in Super chapter 31 is DB poking fun at Donald Trump.
Because, as we all know, Donald Trump is the alpha and omega of all things ever and everything is somehow a commentary on or take that at him. Even Dragon Ball which doesn't give a flying fuck about politics, politically obsessed lunatics are gonna make it a thing.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

As much as I don't care for Trump at all... people can't seem to shut up about him and that can get annoying after a while... especially when it shows up in entertainment.ekrolo2 wrote:So, apparently, Satan using the term "fake news" in Super chapter 31 is DB poking fun at Donald Trump.

Anyway, was that in the official translations or a fan translation thing?

Agreed. I don't agree with most of Trump's ideas but not everything has to be political or involve him.GamerSkull wrote:As much as I don't care for Trump at all... people can't seem to shut up about him and that can get annoying after a while... especially when it shows up in entertainment.ekrolo2 wrote:So, apparently, Satan using the term "fake news" in Super chapter 31 is DB poking fun at Donald Trump.

Recoome's English dub voice grinds my gears. Its just annoying every time he talks.

Someone saw the fake news thing and said they like Hercule less now that he's quoting Trump and I just want to facepalm at the very notion Toriyama or Toyotaro actually wrote him saying that.

I’m more concerned that they completely forgot the idea that they wished away the memories of Buu but they still said he saved the world 7 years later

Re: Things that grind your gears
Sub vs Dub Elitist Arguments.
I have my own opinion on which is better and whether to I find both of them enjoyable but I really hate the attitude both dub fans and sub fans have in regards to their preference and the way they both argue with each other. Watch Dragon Ball the way you want to... and if you want to recommend a particular version, then that's fine, but there's no reason to act otherwise if that person decides not to go that route.

Re: Things that grind your gears
I agree, but to take this another route, I'm bothered when I criticize Super's English localization by taking too many liberties and everyone telling me I'm the problem and that it's fine. I was really looking forward to Super's dub and people over on the forum seem to not want to allow anyone to be disappointed by the dub.GamerSkull wrote:Sub vs Dub Elitist Arguments.

Re: Things that grind your gears
Something else that grinds my gears is discussing Dragon Ball anywhere but here. A lot of places outside this website are so toxic towards the series. That said, I can't speak for every site, Reddit seems cool and there are others I haven't visited, but many places...aren't cool. The word "garbage" is used to describe everything in Dragon Ball ever to the point that you question why anyone is even there.

Re: Things that grind your gears
Criticism towards a particular version is alright for me. It's when people are condescending to others who might like a version that they don't that it becomes a huge problem to me.Forte224 wrote:I agree, but to take this another route, I'm bothered when I criticize Super's English localization by taking too many liberties and everyone telling me I'm the problem and that it's fine.

Let people like what they want. People can criticize an english localization but that doesn't make the people that like that version "not fans".
