"Strong yet accessible" is the best personality archetype.

That most of these women could bench press me is a bonus.

There are several levels to this I think. You can like how a character is drawn, animated and voiced which is nothing out of the ordinary. Likewise, you can also dislike a character for the same reasons. Animation is a form of storytelling which is meant to evoke emotions. This is the same with all forms of storytelling actually. If you don't get any emotional response by watching the movie/anime it's a sign it isn't for you or you're probably watching The Last Jedi. (Just kidding)

However, you can take this too far and saying you want to fuck or have children with a dragon ball character is a sign you might want to visit a doctor. However which way you spin it, it's a drawing of a fictional character. It's not very healthy to have sexual obsessions over such characters since you train your brain to set a standard that way.

This whole topic reminds me of that guy that married his "wife" in Japan...which was a character in the Love+ game for the Nintendo DS which was hilarious in itself. It really is an evolution of the compulsive behavior I see in this topic. Whatever floats your boat I guess but healthy it's certainly not.

I like all types of girls so this type is definitely a favorite of mine...but when I don't know a woman personally I just wind up wanting to be like her, rather than dating her. :lol: Or heck, just to be her friend, too. It doesn't help that the HRT has shifted me so much towards being attracted to men, either. (^_^)

Hmm...actually, I'd probably feel more comfortable looking like Orihime and then dating Yoru'ichi...actually, wait, fuck, I'm more attracted to Ichigo than I am Yoru'ichi.

I'm not sure sure Orihime is comfortable being Orihime. The back problems!

As a woman with breasts I completely understand that...but...she's so cute and strong! She has the courage to be herself that I wish I had more of. Also, she's a MILF and has a cute son and hunky husband!! My heart and body are telling me to create a dimension-crossing device to transfer my consciousness into a reality in which Bleach is real and merge my mind with herrrssssssssssssss!!

Goddamn, I'm such a basic white girl. >_<

A note on breasts: mine are sore as h*ck all the time now which means I can't sleep on my chest or my sides anymore. I've been stuck sleeping on my back for months now and holy h*ck, it really starts to hurt after a while. If I neglect to don a bra and I try to run...oof, baby, these girls are not built for bouncing up and down. >_< Nevertheless, having a chest like hers and being able to feed with it is something I wish I could do as a woman. :(

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

We might all be considered weird by society's standards. All the time fans dedicate to discussing, analyzing, defending an old cartoon especially those of us in our late 20's and 30's. I'm sure most people would tell us to do something more productive with our time. As long as you enjoy it and it doesn't consume your life or hurt anyone then do as you please :thumbup:.

Where is good old Launch, no sign of her in Super (bad bad writing, this is absolute proof) at all, fuck, i truely miss her.
Nothing against gay people, but i never ever understood the semi-gay relationship between Tien Shinhan and Chiatotzu with Launch in the neighbourhood. Are you guys blind, get yourself a pair of glasses (or three-eye-glasses) for godsake!

I hate to see her go, but I like to watch her leave.

Tenshinhan and Chaozu's bond is very strong. Both having a homosexual or pansexual relationship with one another would be fun to see. Heterosexuality isn't some default that makes same-gender relationships an anomaly.

It's not an anomaly. I wouldn't mind if they were, althought i doubt whether Super would depict it.
I only got it out of context to emphasize 'the beauty' of good old Launch. :mrgreen:

Yes it would certainly be fun to see an adult male looking character make love to a character that happens to look like a 4 year old boy with clown make up on. Oh wait, no, that would actually be extremely uncomfortable and would be a huge blow to the brand, no matter how you'd spin it.

Yes, because we've totally seen all of the other relationships in this series make love. I'm sure we all well remember the filler episode that actually showed us Gohan's conception; and how could we ever forget the multi-episode arc showing Vegeta and Bulma going at it to ensure Trunks becomes a thing in the main timeline as well!

...Oh, wait. You mean those aren't actual episodes or chapters? That those scenes only exist within fan's minds and their fan-created works? ...Well I'll be!

I mean, I'm not even really of the mindset that says Tenshinhan and Chaozu are definitely a couple (speaking personally, I see them more as brothers-in-arms, but I can easily see how they could be spun a different way as well), but arguing against them being a couple using a basis that's not something we've ever seen (or will ever see) in an official capacity with even the heterosexual couples is so incredibly bad faith that it's pretty disappointing really.

I'm happy you want to see Chaozu swallow the cummies but I prefer the truly lewd stuff, like cuddling in bed. Now that is how you get all the girldicks hard!

Uncomfortable would be putting it lightly, you'd have to be seriously deranged to want to see something like that.

I'm about 99% sure Tenshinhan doesn't fuck and wouldn't know the proper procedure for anything beyond a respectful pat on the back.

On a (somewhat) more serious note, what exactly is Chiaotzu? I know he uses male pronouns but are we sure he isn't like Piccolo and just goes along with it because explaining the nuances of creepy chinese vampire doll biology/psychology would just take too long?

Guys, Toriyama already crossed this line with Blue, remember?
My opinions suck. You should probably mute me to spare yourself having to see them.
