Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Exactly. It's treated as something a few other characters might be slightly embarrassed by and that the victims are not pleased with, but it's also behavior that's treated as expected. If you're an attractive woman who hangs around this social circle, you're just gonna get groped once in a while. Ho...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

That's not "toxic masculinity": that's plain old Muten being a pervert. He was never praised for it: everybody treats it as a character flaw, and he's regularly punished for it. I'd say expecting women to be willing sexual objects for a person would be classified as "toxic masculinit...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

I mean to be honest, as someone who's unquestionably a fan of Nozawa and gets really annoyed with dub fans when it comes to her, I don't really think people disliking her voice is a example of toxic masculinity. There's a lot of misogyny charged insults when it comes to her, ditto with age, even se...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

I mostly echo what others have already said. If there is any toxic masculinity within the text itself, it's how it often frames its women as either sex objects or baby makers. I think most of the toxic masculinity associated with DB is the fact that it draws in a lot of toxic fans. I guess it's not ...

Go look at mistare fusion when he talks about goku during 21 budokai on his thought on masakox’s goku that image of goku from 21 budokai to him says yeah masakox’s goku isn’t as far away from the real goku like you’d like to believe your just use to the funimation dub of goku. the Japanese version ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The General Blue Saga

You can blame that all on the anime staff because if you watch mistare fusion dragon ball dissection on general blue section he doesn’t hate the manga version of him as a villain he thought he was an great villain for goku in the manga despite minor issues with him. the anime dr slump crossover was...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Tournament Saga

Only asking here so i don’t have to make a new unnecessary thread does anyone know why they added him liking a certain character in the dr slump in the anime stuff because 1) it’s gross 2) it doesn’t add anything it’s a change that doesn’t make any sense to me. Well, it's quite simple: moral panic....

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/31/22!)

Since I was sampling specific content pointed out to me, I was not watching it in any complete form. I did hear the Menza soundtrack, at the very least, when I was watching the original dub first episode (A Grand Problem). I've certainly heard the rap many times in my life. I've only heard a few sec...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/4/22!)

One thing about GT I did like was Trunks growing up and is on his way to be the next head of Capsule Corp, even if he still plays hooky from time to time, though with your explanation, it's clear Trunks needed more than that. If we are to look at episodes 1 and 2 as the pilot, Trunks should have go...

For the most part, all is back to normal. Long story short, I needed a temporary style since our old style didn't work with the new version of phpBB (our forum software). But I needed the new version of phpBB because the old one wasn't compatible with the new version of PHP we needed to install. An...

Dragon Ball Dissection December continues! It's GT Trunks's True Calling - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Baby Arc Part 2 . I had a lot of fun with this one. I mean, hopefully the song will give that away. But I've always had a really big soft spot for the second episode of GT. The way Pan is introduce...

Since the forum update, I can no longer add updated information/links to first posts of a thread. :-(

And as others have said, I have to agree that a "light mode" would be easier on my eyes.

I greatly appreciate you jumping in, Mike, and sharing this compilation of info as well! The Press Archive is, as always, awesome. I certainly don't think I'd read that particular Animerica blurb before. Even then people were complaining about Nozawa's "little boy" voice. Like you said in ...

UPDATE! So I received a very kind email this morning from Curtis Hoffmann. He admitted, quite fairly, that it wasn't terribly easy to remember his exact mind state of something he wrote 26 years ago. However, he does attribute it to a line of dialogue that Pilaf says within the episode itself. He fo...

Re: where did the "gt takes place 10 years after " myth start?

Part of the confusion is that different sources said different things. Herms's History of Ever on this forum lists Bra's birth year as 778, a year before Pan. According to him that comes from her bio in Daizenshuu 7. However, the timeline within the same Daizenshuu, as well as the timeline in first ...
