So, General Blue. As a lesbian trans woman I don’t understand the appeal of either being a man or being attracted to one, making me possibly the furthest thing from a gay man. However as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I don’t think there’s any issue with Blue as portrayed in the manga, sure he’s ...

Goku was fighting Nappa in the manga and had just died in the anime when I was born.

Worth noting that while Viz never split the Naruto manga with Shippuden, Yu-Gi-Oh! got split into Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist and Yu-Gi-Oh! Milennium World, with Duelist being based on the portion of the manga that the anime started with.

As seen by recent events like Toei's public acknowledgement of a Funimation release and Toei mandate that their English subtitles confirm to Funimation's dub names, it's obvious that Toei is endorsing Funimation as their definitive English version. I mean, it always was, but now it's like Toei has ...

You want a forum for a franchise with attempted child rape Uh, remind me again when this happened? Are you talking about the filler with General Blue? I think he's referring to the earlier scene when Bulma is alone on an island and two RRA goons try to assualt her. It’s she , her name is Julie. I k...

Wow, talk about a h*ckin' cool move on Manga UK's part. It's a PR move but h*ck if I don't like it. Also, wowzers, talk about fearmongering going on in this thread. Way to down play such an important matter just because you think it's irrelevant. Making kids think they're transgendered could consti...

Yeah, just like how it's easy to accuse people of transphobia, isn't it? I don't care if a biological man wants to define himself as a woman, or a biological woman wants to define herself as a man. That's all fine with. Do what you want, it's your life. Enjoy it. That being said, it's a decision th...

And AFAIK children are generally evaluated by a professional before deciding if transitioning is best for their mental health. But hiding transphobia with feign concern is easier for some people I guess *shrug* Also true. Even as an adult, I needed approval from a psychiatrist to get access to horm...

Yes, it's a very dangerous edge to walk on. It's even worse when parents start hormone therapy with their child, bordering on child abuse. Those feelings don't always reflect that a change is needed, sometimes it can 'just' be a mental illness. Calling them 'transgender children' is a very very dan...

Not in the UK, but as a transgender woman myself, it warms my heart to see a franchise so close to my heart being used to help other people like me.

Any chance they clean some of this up for the Blu-Ray? I'm kinda surprised this stuff is devolving to be honest as they should know better by now. They have a history of fixing things compared to the broadcast. Maybe? I recall when Funi first got One Piece after 4Kids lost the license, one of the e...

Not sure what a "cishet" is, sounds like another made up word but the show doesn't need to be reflective of any fandom. Why would it? It's a fantasy series with talking cats and pigs. I literally personally defined the word “cishet” for people like you earlier in this very thread. LGBT+ p...

2. Shoving in LGBT characters (and ones from certain ethnic backgrounds) just for the sake of virtue-signaling how "progressive" you are is pandering. Most of non-white characters in the Marvel franchise are not products of pandering (they were around for decades). Okay, so Rhodey was int...

A seemingly simple question is deceptively complex due to the various cultural and sociological baggage contained within. [...] To get off the deep trains of thought, though, I'd say evidence in the series suggests to me that Tenshinhan is probably asexual. I'd say Goku is as well... I trimmed most...

I don't like the idea of shows doing completely empty political pandering for no reason other than a subset of fans demanding it. It's a pretty awkward spot The idea that including LGBT people in media is political pandering is just as absurd as saying that having black people appear in media is po...

No need to force straight characters into gay roles, what we need is original gay characters. There’s admittedly not enough evidence to properly assert Tenshinhan is gay. There’s even less evidence supporting the idea that he’s straight though. This right here is a prime example of societal heteron...

That's more than a tad disingenuous. There isn't sufficient evidence in either case beyond its sheer absence, but Tenshinhan hasn't shown sexual attraction to anyone. Also given that the only gay characters are stereotypes or villains, I'd say Tenshinhan most likely isn't gay. Hell, even the charac...

I’m a lesbian, I’m very out as a lesbian. Today my fiancée and I went to get a quote for insurance and were asked by the saleswoman if we were sisters (we don’t even look remotely alike), upon clarifying that we were a couple, she insisted on referring to us as “friends”. This is the kind of bullshi...

The last thing they need to do is start shoehorning in a pansexual Tien, a asexual Jiren and a intersex Hit (again what even are these things?) into a kids cartoon about fighting aliens because it will kill the show in no time flat. Pansexual: Attracted to people regardless of gender. Asexual: Does...

As Julie said, there’s no significant evidence one way or another. Tenshinhan is most likely asexual, but if he isn’t, then he’s probably gay for Chaozu. I don’t think it’s at all likely he’s straight though.
