My own opinion on it doesn't matter. It was an example. Whether the developers were right to include women or not...you could argue that I guess but the thing of note is that they tried this same "inclusion" and "diversity" gimmick despite it not being an appropriate match for that series.
And it backfired because of it and they lost money on it, a lot of money and sales went down the drain because of this exact same unnecessary pandering.
it's a simple and easy thing to do to lessen the demonization of perfectly valid sentient beings from being immorally violated
It doesn't matter how easy it is. It's about it being necessary. Dragon Ball isn't some coming of age social drama, it's a fun action packed show about fighting aliens and that's all that people watch it for.
They start shoehorning in these different sexualities for the sake of it then people will see it for what is and people will turn on it because they know it's not the appropriate show for it.
Give me a fucking break on 'concept of the series', the series can be about whatever the fuck the staff of any given series, special, movie, game comic or episode feel like creating.
No actually it can't. The show evolved over time and has for the past 25 years or so found its footing, it's winning formula, it's golden ticket that still to this day pays out despite the same formula repeating itself.
They move away from that to become some kind of SJW ridden series that preaches and panders and they will lose people in no time just as it's happened to Supergirl and other TV shows.
So, your argument is that the financial security of Dragon Ball lies in a bunch of bigots and any reflection of the diverse fandom outside of the acceptable white cishet male base is unacceptable?
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.
Once again, Dragon Ball is already hugely popular with black people despite the fact that the most notable black character in the whole franchise was Staff Officer Black who was killed in 1986.
If black people are secure and happy enough to love Dragon Ball despite that then everyone else should be.
So as opposed to 'pandering' to minorities they should pander to a rigid, restrictive system without trying anything new?
Yes, especially as their pandering to this "restrictive" system has to date successfully seen them gross in excess of $24 billion.

Anything new that they should try should be in regards to the story, world building, new planets, new races etc. Things that actually matter for this series, that will help it grow and maintain its popularity. Not shoehorning in a disturbed paedophile relationship between an adult and a child looking clown.
