Only a fool would call those "valid arguments". Stating that it's a joke? Humor? Not real? Not meant to be serious? That there are series out there doing worse with no real backlash because for the most part people understand that it's humor? Seems pretty valid and relevant for me. His to...

I can't tell if you're trolling or really this misogynistic. Perhaps both Neither, I'm just not part of this new age culture where everyone is offended or upset over everything. It's humour in a fictional cartoon, it's not real. Family Guy has had Quagmire do drastically more severe things to woman...

It's really quite simple, we don't tolerate making a joke out of sexual harassment and sexual assault, especially in content like this that is aimed at a larger demographic of not just adults, but children as well. There is nothing else comparable to this and thus there is no hypocrisy at play here...

I feel like you're continuing to mischaracterize the arguments of one side here. It's more along the lines of 'Perhaps this character shouldn't be so easily forgiven for their actions, or perhaps they should be portrayed as having more serious consequences', or even 'I enjoy the series and don't wa...

Once again, there you go and I don't get how you're not seeing how removing this specific content is literally not the same as any other content that you're suggesting. This is a slippery slope, dude lol. You didn't actually respond to what I said. Oh, I did, you keep repeating your nonsensical sli...

That was very much a slippery slope, in fact, that was the definition of a slippery slope you brought up all these other variables of what MIGHT happen no matter how unlikely that is. Is it? What are all the possible options once we decide to not tolerate humor based on serious issues? Option 1 - W...

I don't see a difference. Both times people are complaining that they didn't like the way something was done and would have preferred it done differently. I think there's a very clear difference. It's the same difference between someone hearing a joke and saying "you know, that joke would have...

When the subject is freakin' sexual assault and sexual harassment, I think that warrants not being tolerated. Ok, let's imagine it stops being tolerated from now on. What next? Surely other people would want something else not being tolerated since it's actually a serious matter for a lot of people...

Ah, yes. The beauty of humor is "Har, har, har! Let's find amusement in sexual harassment and assault". Guys, I watched Family Guy and they do it there and it's soooooooooo funny! We should use Family Guy as the beacon to guide what all fiction directs to because Family Guy is the gold st...

Well it's the same thing, many people say that GT or Super should never have been made, or that Goku should have been the only Super Saiyan, or that the Broly movies should never have been made, or such and such character should never have been introduced, etc. Again, apples and oranges. People who...

Some things cannot be made into a joke and this is just one of them. To me, those who can't understand that, are either lacking some sort of basic human emotion, or just don't have any experience with people who are victims of such things, thus living a rather sheltered life. Yeah, this is almost f...

I want to make one last contribution to this thread, because it's honestly not going anywhere for me. Clarifying That It Cannot Be Made Into a Joke 1) The topic is very controversial and I say cannot be made into a joke because there is no scenario in which it's funny. You are not a dictator to sti...

That may be so, but as I said originally, as a child I didn't take it seriously. In fact, as a child I didn't even pay attention to it really. As an adult I can't help but notice. If you enjoyed horror movies in the past where people gets turned apart, but have since lost your taste for it (maybe b...

Well where I'm from, that's still underage, so I'm looking at it from my perspective, not from theirs. So, what the author is telling in his story is that Bulma is not underage because that's how the law works in Japan, but you are still going to say that what meant to be told is that Roshi is a pe...

Not at all what i meant. In many people's responses to me, they seem to have overlooked the fact that I mentioned that these are not the qualities of a protagonist/hero and went for, "Well then nobody can write about anything by your logic." That's what people didn't connect the dots abou...

Any person that was ever victim of violence should be out there bashing action movies, then.

Oh okay, so I should be happy that Roshi isn't an acutal rapist, but he's just a pedophile that commits sexual assault and sexual harrassment. But hey! He gets slapped in the end. Hardy-har-har. Some things cannot be made into a joke and this is just one of them. To me, those who can't understand t...

The series endorses his actions by having him be a protagonist. So based on some of the logic, if Roshi actually went all the way and pulled Bulma by her hair and forced himself on her, it would be okay because it's not meant to be taken seriously? I'm just trying to find the line between "Hah...
