I'm mentally ill and I dont look kindly on people using their illness to excuse their bad behaviour. I lost a lot of respect for the people who make those claims.

I would encourage everyone to re-read the forum rules, which you agreed to (twice!) prior to registration. If the sense of shonen camaraderie is not your style, keep in mind that posting here is a privilege, and not a right.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Does your mental illness make you go apeshit crazy? Did doctors give you bad medications, which made it even worse? He accepts being banned. That's not the point of this discussion. He only wanted to explain that he has minimal knowledge. This discussion is about hypocrisy, not Kojiro's behaviour. He himself said that he acted like an asshole. Everyone has seen it.Cure Dragon 255 wrote:I'm mentally ill and I dont look kindly on people using their illness to excuse their bad behaviour.

Many of our ancestors treated women with respect, so that would make this point true.Kojiro Sasaki wrote:Don't forget that if “getting something into the 21st century” means treating women like people, it suggest that they weren't treated like people in 20th or 19th century. I think that it's an insult to many of our ancestors. Those are too sharp words.

Well I hope so, he got banned.Clayton wrote:Yes, I know that mentally ill and less educated people aren't welcome here and I accept it. Kojiro also accepts it - he will never visit the forum again.

Re: Dragon Ball and "Feminism"
Many, many cultures of the past highly regarded their females. Many conflicts have been waged over the love of women. Love of mother's have been very high as well. That's not to say that they have never been mistreated, individually and as a whole. Plenty of governments have had female rulers with full authority, and some have treated women as second class citizens.Soppa Saia People wrote:Well I hope so, he got banned.Clayton wrote:Yes, I know that mentally ill and less educated people aren't welcome here and I accept it.

I haven't read through all the pages in this topic. But the first page seems to have multiple replies in the line of "they should find something else to read/watch if you are offended by the four female characters out of a hundred characters offends you".
We let that slide because of the era and culture and medium it was released in. The creators are trying to remedy this by adding more female characters. Which isn't helped by the fact that there's only one female fighter who is in a good fighting shape. Either 18 will have to fight them both, or Goku and Vegeta will have to punch a couple of girls in the face.
I think the portrayals of the women we do have is pretty good. Bulma, Chi-Chi, and 18 are strong women, and I'm not just speaking physically. Bulma is brilliant and independent, even if the independence comes mostly from being extremely wealthy. Chi-Chi wants her home life with her family. And unless Ox-King drilled that into her head, which I highly doubt, she came to that conclusion on her own. 18 also seems quite happy with whatever's she doing.
On a more "all media" scope, the fact that every one everywhere is a potential audience, why not have a better representation. Especially, item originating from the US, since we house everyone from everywhere. As for women, I think the issue is that the less reasonable and more extreme/crazy are louder and more visible than the ones who just want things less crappy.
I actually came across some vids by Bob Chipman, aka MovieBob, where he discusses this. The Escapist channels on has all of his The Big Picture editorials from five or six years ago. He did about three or for vids on the subject which got me thinking about the issue from a different angle. He also has a couple of vids on the Marvel comics shakeups on his own channel. I think these are worth a view, even just to see the issues presented from a more "rational" perspective.
