People taking DB too seriously

[Ddd]

We've all seen it and we've all been guilty of it, do you have any stories or anecdotes off that time you got a little too passionate?.

[MajinMan]

The most serious I've ever been was when I started cussing out people on YouTube (I was young). There was this other time when I went on a "the dub sucks and you suck for liking it" tirade when I first got into the Japanese version before I grew the fuck up and stopped caring about that type of stuff. I have seen certain older fans take things a bit seriously and attack each other personally over trivial arguments.

I once heard an anecdote about a kid who was physically abused by his father and justified it by believing that he was a Saiyan and his father was 'training' him.

I have known people that has taken the show way too seriously and would stop being friends with a few people or would just say awful things to them because they liked the dub. but I have never been like that haha

Back in high school, I used my VHS fansubs to insist and " prove" the show was for adults and that the dub version "toned it down" quite a bit.

Glad nowadays I've chilled the heck out and repeat to myself "It's just a show, I should really just relax."

I still belly laugh every time I watch this. This is an example of someone who took Dragonball way too seriously. Such a classic.

Man, that never get old.

On a more serious note, there was the very tragic story of a man in France who died as a result of aneurysm from trying to go "Super Saiyan".

My friends and I used to "power-up" before things like the 100m dash during track and field events.

I wouldn't be surprised. There are people who name their children off of videogames characters and treat them as such and there are people who do this...

Unfortunately the insane are allowed to have children.

Haha I haven't seen that in eons. Always gets me to laugh.

A long time ago I got into a heated argument on Gamefaqs about whether Vegeta had reached SSJ2 or not before the Majin charm. I remember coming out of that holding a lot of ill will towards the other person.

[Romans Empire]

Well, I do admit I tried to do a kamehameha in real life quite a couple of times.

After the Orange Bricks were announced, I sort of fell for the marketing behind them, like that it was affordable for the very first time, and got super excited. Then, mean ol' VegettoEX and his videophile buddies came along and learned me a thing or two about how what FUNimation was doing was bad. When that happened, I felt betrayed and let down big time. So much so that it was all I talked about for like two weeks. I complained nonstop to my girlfriend at the time and she put up with it for most of those couple of weeks until, one evening, she lost it at a local diner. It kinda went like...

Me; "So, about the new Dragon Ball Z DV--"
Her: "Stop! Just, fucking stop."

She then went on to tell me about how that's all I had talked about for weeks and that I needed to "shut the fuck up for five fucking minutes." We spent the rest of that dinner in awkward silence.

We eventually married each other, by the way.

I once was chatting with a guy who kept using dub names (Like T-I-E-N and K-R-I-L-L-I-N) while I was using JPN terms. He was confused with how I was saying things. When I told him I was using the Japanese names he started laughing at me. Then he called me an Idiot Weeaboo. He kept doing that and I snapped. I yelled. I only used the terms that are official! I watch Dragon Ball the way it is supposed to be watched! Then he kept laughing at me. I yelled IDIOT, and left. I regret the fact that I yelled so intensely at someone, it's really embarrassing...

I guess there's a chance he really did think he could go Ssj but more then likely it was a stunt to get views and $$$ off of Youtube which obviously worked.

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

On a more lighthearted note, every time using Kanzenshuu's wonderful resources has left you disproportionately knowledgable compared about the series compared to everyone else in the room, and subsequently parring down which bits no one really needs to know are appropriate for the setting.

Tell me any of the following and I'll take it too seriously when giving my answer:

1. GT sucks because "Toriyama didn't make it.
2. Goku was little.
3. the color pallets are too dark for my eyes.
4. it's not canon because I don't like it.
5. GT is hated by all of the fan base."

Wow, that was fast xD. I wasn't talking to you specifically, I meant...like anyone...

And yes, those actually hurt my feelings but anyway, Those are the situations where I get a little too much over my head as a fan.

[Innocent-Halfbreed]

I admit I try to defend Kai as much as humanly possible. I can't even watch Kai-related videos because the comment sections might as well ignite my monitor with the flame-wars. Seriously though, Kai gets just TOO MUCH hate. I almost pity it.
