Sexist much?
What do you mean ? Is this a "yeah those posts are sexist"
Or a "Your the REAL racist/sexist/homophobe/transphobe for pointing out the racism/sexism/homophobic/transphobic" type of thing ?
I have borderline personality disorder, if my posts ever come off as aggressive or word vomit-y to you, please let me know.

Yup, some of the stuff said has made me actually cringe. I don't even abuse that word unlike a lot of the internet, am when I say it k really mean it.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

He's dissapointed by some of things that people are saying about the female saiyans. It isn't bad enough where he needs to report it though.

He wishes that there'd be a "we shouldn't do this guys " button because it would make this community look better if we did.

Piccolo has mentioned at least twice that his flying technique is different from, and apparently superior to the Bukujutsu that Goku uses. It's very vague, but could this mean Gohan doesn't use Bukujutsu either and instead uses whatever technique Piccolo uses?

Actually, it's been brought up before that aerial battles didn't become a thing until the late saiyans arc, and beforehand Bukujutsu was more of just a way of levitating. So perhaps the technique that Piccolo uses, which he claims is superior to Bukujutsu, is the method everyone else will adopt in the future when aerial battles become more common.

Where the heck does Oolong live? With Kame-Sennin or at Capsule Corp.?

Has he been couch-surfing for twenty-nine years?

He has his own mansion-capsule Bulma rented him.

Speaking of Oolong, have either him or Pu'ar transformed in Super. That'd be a pretty cool throwback.

It took them only until very recently for them to reveal where Yamcha lived, in some separate building a few eps ago.

Before that from the Cell saga onward you would think he was still free loading at capsule corp somewhere.

Pu'ar transformed into Beerus. I believe that's the only one as far as I remember.

I remember reading an article that said Toriyama only had Freeza in ROF because he remembered his personality, is this true?

Oolong used bat wings to fly over to Shenron in that one episode where everyone argued over the wish as well.

Here's a question I'm not sure anyone asked, ever. Sure the Dragon Boxes are better than both of the following, but I still want to ask. What transfer has better dark detail for Z? The Pre-Orange Bricks Digibetas (used with Saban, Pioneer, and In-House Funi back in the day), or the Orange Bricks/Levels/Season Blu-Ray transfer (more the latter two than the Orange Bricks, as I heard that both Blu-Ray sets have slightly better dark detail than the Orange Bricks)?

Neither are particularly good, and I don't have any of my old Z singles to compare, but I'm sure someone here could throw up a comparison.

He also transformed into a sledge hammer to bash Yamcha’s head to wake him up in the baseball episode.

A lot of good things came out of ROF. I think the movie is fine, just needs some, slight changes.

Honestly breaking it down it seems BoG and "F" basically told a very similar story:
Beerus wakes up-Freeza gets revived.
Beerus seeks a challenge- Freeza seeks revenge.
They both head to Earth but after making pitstops (Beerus makes pit stop on Kaio's planet, Freeza makes a pit stop to train).
They both arrive on Earth where Goku isn't there.
Funny shenanigans ensue. (Including Bulma annoying the big bad off in someway)
Z fighters fight (in RF they actually get decent screen time), but no match for the big bad.
Vegeta gets destroyed by Beerus- Gohan gets destroyed by Freeza.
Goku arrives in the nick of time in both.
Beerus and Freeza then get their challenge/revenge opportunity.
A new Super Saiyan transformation.
Battle ensues, then it stops for a quick chat about power, (Beerus and Goku in the cave, Freeza about his stamina issue).
They end up losing (Goku flat out loses, due to the carelessness Freeza blows up Earth)
But then they won in the end anyway. (Beerus satisfied didn't destroyed Earth afterall which was one of the reasons they were fighting for in the place. Whis rewinds time and Goku kills Freeza thus they won).
Film ends with the gang discussing the after match and Vegeta and Goku bantering.
