List some Things that you don't like about the fandom

Post by Ddd » Thu Feb 11, 2016 2:23 am

* When people say someone is not a real fan

* when fans insult the voice actors. the best example would be yanami yoji recently, people saying he was drunk, high etc really got on my nerves.

* when people dismiss the early portions of the story, and just center on the z era stuff.

* power level debates and vs stuff in general

* the fans obsession with vegeta surpassing goku

Wow,this sure isnt drama bait.

But here goes.

The dub fans pretending they are persecuted.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I despise the very idea of a "fandom" and people identifying themselves by the shows that they like. Also this thread is trouble waiting to happen.

This, although really any sub-group pretending to be persecuted is annoying.

A huge thing that's growing more and more tedious is the incessant complaining. And the complaining about complaining. I'm certainly guilty of being part of the latter at times. :P

You shouldnt go around saying stuff like that. You might get banned for it.

I don't think this thread is a good idea. It just seems like a negative lightning rod which really doesn't have much discussion material. I could add my 2 cents, but I ain't sure there should be a thread that takes shots at some fans.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Things that have annoyed me for some time now are those people who compare the worst shot of Super to one of the best shots in Z.For example:

My biggest annoyance with the fandom is how divided we can be at times. There's the whole sub vs dub thing, then there's the Ocean vs FUNi debates, Kikuchi vs Faulconer (although this isn't much of a debate - *cough* Kikuchi *cough* :P), etc.

While Super has had its fair share of inexcusable frames by 2015's standards the people who compare it to Z should use episodes of the series as a comparison rather than movies (as is the case with the picture on the left) which have bigger budgets and will obviously have better art and animation.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Another thing is the constant lambasting of people who have different opinions/interpretations of certain parts of the series.

I hear these 2 a lot and not only do I not like them, I don't understand them as well :

Dragon Ball was always childish so if you don't like Super's tone then it means you're outgrowing the franchise.

Dragon Ball has no canon.

99% of the "fandom" doesn't know what "canon" means. Half of the remaining 1% think that doesn't matter, and their made-up definition is what's important.

- Sub vs. Dub debates
- Power level debates
- Canon vs. Non Canon
- Animation>Wiritng. It's sad that people these days feel like that animation and special effects need to look good and don't care about the writing. People don't have open minds these days. There is a lot of old movies and shows that have bad effects and are dated, but still are great.

Would they be great if they were released today with the same outdated effects ?

"D00dZ! Faulconer is way better than the shitty Japanese music! Look at my edit of BoG with Faulconer music!" *different comment* "All these dubs suck and replacement music sucks... lol except DBZ." That shit is so awful and I hate it.

"Kai is teh suxxorz! It takes out all of the filler and the voices and music is different!"

Just any fans that have that double standard that DBZ has a good dub.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

When people treat DBZKai as something far superior than DBZ, when they are actually the same thing (filler or not). The one that really ticks me is when people are listing their timeline and go: DB---DBZ Kai---DBSuper.

Oh and I almost forget, Fans who call themselves fans and get upset because their favorites characters are not interacting as much with each other, or in other words "Not enough content to allow me to do Shipping."

I can deal with differences in opinion, favored or disliked characters or storylines or languages, and anything and everything related to that. People are entitled to their opinion, regardless of what it is. The only time it gets irksome for me is if someone treats another as if they are inherently wrong on matters of said opinion. And that is sadly something that happens way too often nowadays.

On the other side, the Internet has somehow convinced people that all opinions are equally valid. Opinions can be just as wrong as any other judgment of something. Nowadays, you'll see people using "it's my opinion" as a defense, which is laughable.
