Re: How long until Mr Popo gets cancelled?

It's not quite as ridiculous as the racist Cell evolution theory. I'm morbidly curious... The idea is that the three main forms of Cell represent racial stereotypes and suggest a hierarchy of races. Imperfect: Asian (smallest form, slanted eyes, although in some tellings I've also heard that it rep...

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

Do you not see how reducing it to a harmless gag minimizes what a gross thing it is? I think the idea of Roshi trying to retrain himself to eliminate his perverted instincts was a good first step, although the way they went about it was pretty bad. But he doesn't really seem to have fully learned h...

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

Nothing is being censored? Dragon Ball Super is still widely available as it was created. It was censored in Argentina ffs...that’s the point of this thread Cartoon Network and Warner Media in Argentina temporarily pulled the show for editing. It’s still available on home media. It’s not being cens...

I never much cared for Naruto. I think it just got worse and worse as it went on.

Re: Gotenks and Gohan can defeat Kid Buu according to Dragon Ball The legend of manga

Yeah it makes sense for Pure Boo to be weaker than Super Boo Yes, it makes sense. But there are people who think that Kid Buu is the strongest Buu. Do you mean individually, or both of them working together? They don't explain that but I think they mean individually. Well does that mean that SSJ3 G...

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

That's what I've been arguing for forever. I would remove the 'nowadays', though, as this shit was always offensive. Well I was just implying that for a lot of the older stuff (30s - 50s cartoons), it was at least partially a product of its time. So? It's still offensive. Who cares if it was at som...

Re: How long until Mr Popo gets cancelled?

It's disingenuous to suggest that anyone here is seriously trying to speak on behalf of 100% of all black people ever, they're just giving anecdotal evidence of their own experiences. Like literally everyone else in this discussion. For a black person to speak their mind on this matter, are they se...

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

I'm gonna agree with my friend here. His entire character is based around how he loves women and wants a girlfriend. We never see him show that kind of affection to any male character. Pro tip: Don't use Dragon Ball fan art as a source. I'm sure that there is probably a ton of 'fan art' about King ...

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

I believe the point is that it shouldn't be a gag, as lots of people in real life have the attitude that it's a normal and not so serious thing.

Alkiser you seem to be quoting posts and I'm not sure if you're trying to respond to them or not, but there's nothing showing up on your posts. So long as that's true though, listen to me; The bottom line is this: Roshi's creepy groping shit is fucking nasty and does not need to be in the show. It'...

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

His initial character arc revolved around wanting to get a girlfriend, not “either or”. So despite what Chris Sabat’s gaffs try to signal, Yamcha ain’t into men. He could just be in denial or confused about his sexuality. There's really no way to know since we're talking about a fictional character...

For #18, I'd also have a Super form just like #17's.

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

Some of those episodes are pretty cringy, but if the choice is between leaving them untouched and canceling the whole show, I'd much prefer the former.

Re: How long until Mr Popo gets cancelled?

Wasn't the original 'Black Sanbo' story about a boy from India, who wasn't even African? The racist connotations only came after other artists (not the original writer) drew artwork for it that was very stereotypical and caricatured.

Re: Adult Gotenks

If the movie takes place somewhere between AGE 782 and AGE 783, that would be teen Gotenks actually. I'd like to him to be... a teenager. Acting like a teenager. Sounding like a teenager. Height of a teenager. By the way, one of my avatars is adult Gotenks. One just need to take that and reduce him...
