If you think Children are always clothes in public in the real world then you are living with your head in the sand. I hope that works out for you. Not all of us are so privileged to live in first world countries where we can all afford clothing. I was speaking within the context of Japan, a first-...

then it's unclear why "minding my own business" in this case would be ethically sound. Why is it not? You certainly don't know if your good intentions will have any negative repercussions. It is preferable to save yourself the consequences your direct actions may have than it is to save y...

Yes, all in contexts which are utterly sexless. Children have genitals. Children will be nude sometimes. Did you know that children are actually born nude, with their genitals exposed and everything, around at least one grown adult? I don't know if you're missing the point on purpose. Yes, I know t...

If a child is drowning in front of you, and you are the only one in a position to save them, and you do not, you are in part responsible for that child's death. I'm replying to this because it's an interesting point. Legally, yes. I don't think you're ethically responsible for a stranger's life, no...

Alright, so you don't actually understand the issue people are taking with this in the first place. Kame Sennin's antics are presented within a specific context, and as a result they communicate certain ideas, unconsciously: "sexual assault is funny and has no negative consequences; victims of...

I disagree. If other characters were looking at Goku's child penis and showing attraction to it, then it would be problematic. But without that, it's just a body part. Body parts are not inherently sexual. But that's not the point. The gags aren't inherently malicious either, but the argument is th...

The people who've replied to post have all missed the point. I said "it should be more troubling" meaning I don't think it's the case. The point was: the people who are concerned over the depiction of sexuality in Dragon Ball should be more concerned with the depiction of kid Goku's penis...

You think the human body is troubling? ... I've come to realise that culturally America has a really, really.... Weird relationship with nudity. The people who've replied to post have all missed the point. I said "it should be more troubling" meaning I don't think it's the case. The point...

just that it represents keeping in step with what fell within the realm of (privileged-majority-imposed) social norms of the time rather than Toriyama or the series going out of their way to be transgressively mean-spirited I disagree. He wouldn't have made an entire comic like Lady Red if they wer...

It's my favorite, outside of the TV specials, because it's the only one, even counting the ones that came after it, where Goku actually has a coherent character arc that builds on where he left off in Z; it's new and fresh, and shone a light on his attempt to reconcile his selfish motivations with h...

I legitimately would like to see research done in why there seem to be so much crossover between alt-righters in the Millennial generation and anime fans. Go on Twitter and if you see a twitter with an anime “waifu” as the profile pic or some animeesque furry and I guarantee you 8 times out of 10 t...

The Oozaru isn't slow. The Saiyan arc specifically commented on this.
It certainly seems odd that Broly went from weaker than base/Super Saiyan Goku/Vegeta in his own base form to rivaling God with a 10x boost.

I think the depiction of kid Goku's penis multiple times throughout the entire series should be far more troubling than Roshi's antics.

What's wrong with his high battle power? I think it works fine. It doesn't contradict anything either plot wise or thematically. Because the special's entire point is that Bardock is a low-class soldier nobody whose fellow Saiyans mocked for his delusions, and whose name Freeza never bothered to re...

The TV special version is miles better than Toriyama's. It accomplished making Bardock an interesting character without a) copping-out and turning him into a good person to distinguish him from the rest; and b) compromising the Saiyan and Freeza arcs' themes. The TV Special has its problems; I'm not...

The characters that were given power levels in the movie are: Paragus: 4200 Baby Broly: 920 Generic Saiyan sniper: 2,000 Beet: <920 It should be noted also that Paragus' PL was given when he was old (which could mean it was either higher in his prime, or lower, since he spent decades fighting for s...

You're assuming Dragon Ball is only aimed at children.

Shouldn't China be a huge market?

Rest assured though: sexual assault, of ANY degree or level, is the POLAR DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE of "petty nonsense". I agree. But that's not what I said. This is why I said you're misrepresenting me. I said I don't consider this specific example, of this specific case with these specific peo...

videos of people like Ben Shapiro, Stefan Molyneux, Jordan Peterson, and Sargon of Akkad Ew, no. What the fuck? I want nothing to do with those morons, especially not Molyneux and Shapiro. You're making way too many assumptions on the kind of person I am, what I think and what I do based on two or ...
