Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

At least 40% of cops self-admit to domestic abuse, the actual numbers are probably higher. Whether it's "most" is not much of an argument in the face of "it's a fucking lot". A job like policing that gives people the authority and the opportunity to be violent is going to attrac...

Re: Is Dragon Ball bigger in the West than in the East?

Except for maybe Latin America, where I've heard it's pretty big I'd say probably not. At least proportional to population. Probably.
Only exception I'd *maybe* give is during the late 90's/early 2000's when DBZ was huge in the west but was on sort of a hiatus in Japan.

Re: What haven't you seen?

I'm behind on almost everything post Battle of Gods. why if you mind me asking? Busy with life, also other hobbies. And when I wasn't I kind of had a period where I was barely motivated to do anything, not even sit and watch something. When I've got my life more on track I plan to make a good media...

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?

Didn't Bulma specifically say she caught him with another woman? That might have been a dub or filler only thing though; can't quite remember.

Re: How long until Mr Popo gets cancelled?

But it seems much more like the people who came up with the theory are the racist ones. I don't see where you're getting this from at all. Why are they racist for pointing out racist thinking? Even though I may not necessarily agree with that theory, I can see their point. It's no coincidence that ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Yes it is true that it's condescending, I apologize. I'm going to wager that we all have more life experience than you do, Ringworm128. For one, you know what the ableist term 'terminally online' means and then applied it to kids, so something tells me you're not the bastion of common sense and worl...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

I simply mentioned propaganda as a pre-retort, because usually in debates about fiction affecting behavior "But Joseph Goebbels!" is one of the first responses you get.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Most academic nonsense can easily be debunked though common sense or simply living in the actual real world. Most of it is just overly worded fluff that only sounds smart because it uses a ton of buzzwords and made up connections. "Some ideas are so stupid only intellectuals can believe them &q...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Normal people aren't shaped by media. Human's have a very handy ability that lets them watch things and realize they're bad or not real; Even kids as young as four can tell the difference between real and make believe. The most you could argue is that people might get *ideas* but they still ultimate...

Re: "Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie"

I think a decent live action Dragon Ball movie is possible; it would just take a lot of skill to pull it off right. My biggest fear for a Dragon Ball movie is that they'd either try and make it too gritty, or over emphasize the lighthearted elements of the series.

You're basically saying "I'm not saying saying "fiction affects reality" but fiction affects reality." Since when has anyone ever heard about someone being beaten to death and thought "Oh yeah totally normal thing that happens?" You are incredibly naive. Also, I litera...

I can't relate, everything that has affected how I interact with people has been stuff that's happened in real life. And I'm not even an "edgelord" to begin with. I just sometimes speak crassly. This morning I thought I was being too mean for telling someone their video had incorrect infor...

You can, in fact, mark older media as being inappropriate for children.
Almost everyone on this forum started watching Dragon Ball when they were children. We all turned out fine.

Re: Did Dragon Ball inspire animators?

Considering the large amount of anime inspired art and animation by western creators both official and unofficial now I would be absolutely flabbergasted if at least some of them weren't originally inspired by Dragon Ball Z.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

"Normalization" is just a buzzword people, usually terminally online teens use as reasoning as to why they think someone's fanfiction is somehow condoning rape. It's not a real thing and shouldn't be treated as credible. People can easily differentiate what's acceptable in fiction and in r...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Who's doing what? Are you implying Akira Toriyama and the writers for Super try and molest women? I don't have a problem with people complaining/criticizing about the gags, my main issue is when people complain about it outside the context of it being cartoon; like it's an actual serious problem tha...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Media is made by individuals not some collective hivemind. You could take any story where there's a situation the complete opposite of Roshi and say "This is a reflection of societies views" The statement also implies that anything anyone writes must be what they're actual beliefs/thoughts...

Nobody's saying this, and it is incredibly disingenuous of you to suggest that anyone has said this. Everyone knows art does not directly create the behavior it depicts in the consumer. What it does do is reinforce preexisting biases and normalize the culture it depicts. A person is not likely to b...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

My point is "What if kids start copying Roshi? is a stupid argument" that's just a rehash of "GTA will make kids into murderers" I saw tons of mature shit as a kid and I never copied any of it. Any issues should be between the parents and the network. Some nonsense government bur...
