Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
They... probably were, if you think about it. They Saiyans don't really think of much of mating, and given how Nappa proposed the idea of breeding the women of Earth, and how savage and tribal the natural instinct of a pure blooded Saiyan is, something tells me they would have no qualms with forcing themselves onto another "spouse" for the sake of reproduction.

Would it be much different than in real life? Ancient barbarians, vikings, etc. were known to pillage entire villages and rape the women.

Nope, it is in the anime as well.Dbzfan94 wrote:It was actually only in the manga, the anime skipped it.Professor Freeza wrote:dbgtFO wrote: And yet Nappa had no problem suggesting they go mate with a bunch of Earth women, like Lionel above you points out. Wouldn't be hard to imagine they wouldn't take no for an answer, if they decided to do it, much like didn't give them a chance to live upon arriving on Earth.
And this is a series filled with violence and death, rape being implied in that context shouldn't be that surprising, even if society is skewed towards being more open to seeing brutal murders, than rapes in media.
I dont remember this at all....

My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

I wonder if a race of monkey people who commit genocide also commit rape?

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
This is a good point, but I think the idea that all saiyans want strong battles is a bit of a myth. Were Raditz and Nappa interested in genuine challenges and testing themselves? Was Vegeta, before he was influenced by Goku? Or did all three of them focus more on the sadistic pleasure of easily dominating victims, then freak out, panic, bargain, whine, etc whenever things actually became tough?Pantalones wrote:And the Saiyan mindset wants a good fight to test their strength, we see it over and over again with Goku and Vegeta either letting enemies survive to grow stronger or outright letting them reach higher forms when the lower form wasn't strong enough to satisfy them -- that's basically the opposite of a rapist who wants to easily overpower their victim in order to get what they want from them, whether they like it or not.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
Other then Nappa's suggestion of using human women to revive the Saiyan population, we don't have a single instance of any Saiyan suggesting rape or any sexual act of any kind. They're more concerned with beating beings with their fists, to test their might/true power. And only used intercourse to breed back on their home planet. Basically, an asexual race that only reproduced when necessary.nickzambuto wrote:This is a good point, but I think the idea that all saiyans want strong battles is a bit of a myth.

No. We aren't animals. We're just like everyone else. Don't let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. If you kick us out, who will cut your...I mean save Earth?TheUltimateNinja wrote:It seems U7 Saiyans were probably up to no good.
Is this really a question? I really can't say we've seen this tendency in Saiyajin. I'm honestly confused right now.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
They killed billions of beings for the fun of it so I highly doubt rape is where they drew the line.

In a realistic setting, they would be, but the Dragon universe is not a realistic setting.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
Even arguing that it would be a realistic scenario is ignoring the history of warfare. Having established rules when you go to war is part of what makes a civilization. Raping is off the table for any people who wish to be seen as civilized. Plus, Dragonball is not that type of anime/manga. I think we can best leave that to Fist of the North Star.rereboy wrote:In a realistic setting, they would be, but the Dragon universe is not a realistic setting.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
It's not about being on or off the table, its are they even interested in mating. Toriyama has stated that they hardly do it with in their own race so why would they suddenly feel the urge to rape some one of another race.sintzu wrote:They killed billions of beings for the fun of it so I highly doubt rape is where they drew the line.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
Why are we assuming that "sex by force" the only option available to Nappa. He seemed like an attractive looking guy, and with his strength and good looks could easily find large numbers of females to hage sex with. Failing that, prostitutes are still an option.Cipher wrote:Dragon Ball being a kids' series says "no." Realism regrettably says "probably, yes."
Nappa was even excited over the potential for human-Saiyan hybrids to be stronger than pure Saiyans, and I doubt he was talking about finding Mrs. Right.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
With that I don't really agree. In their behavior, the saiyans are much more akin to vikings and old world conquerors than modern day army officers. Precisely taking into account history is the reason why I'm pretty sure that if it was realistic the saiyans would rape.Bardock the Mexican wrote: Even arguing that it would be a realistic scenario is ignoring the history of warfare.

Re: Are Saiyans rapists?
Everything is debatable if we really want to analyze it, but there is a large agreement on that notion by professionals, at least in a modern setting. It's possible that Saiyans, like human per-historic men, would not actually see rape as something really different from other kinds of sex. In that case, what I said isn't that relevant.Bruma rabu wrote:That is debatable.rereboy wrote:Rape is more about violence and dominating another than it is about sex or mating.
