Remember guys, reactionaries will only get stronger if we kick them out. You need to be tolerant, even of damaging people actively making other people's lives worse. That's why we don't do anything when people commit crimes. Don't you know that not letting people be bigots is the reason bigotry exists? Checkmate liberals.

Mocking trans people to own the libz. Thanks Jord, really appreciate seeing a dedicated transphobic and homophobic piece of shit waste their time in spectacular fashion. ❤

Naw, Ryuji isn't here to actually contribute in any meaningful way. He's trolling.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

I'm going to stick to calling it LGBTQ+ simply because there's no way I'm ever going to remember all of that.

As for the topic itself, sure. If TOEI wants to promote Piccolo more as an LGBTQ+ character they totally should. It'd be beneficial for them as well because drawing in more members of that crowd would also ultimately mean higher profits for them.

Ryuji-Otogi has nothing of substance to add to the discussion. He is specifically trying to bait people and waste their time. Why? Because he hates you. Like a bad comedian he thinks he is funny when he punches down, down upon the minorities he hates so much.
Wow, talk about poison.
Please don't ruin this thread with your negative assumptions, bashing other users. If Ryuji-Otogi experiences his life in a different way, we should respect it and allow him to express it.You could have a civil discussion with him about his viewpoint.
Instead you label him. Labeling people for having a different mindset other than yours is a very dangerous thing. That is what actually creates and fuels hate but maybe that's a lesson you still need to learn in life.
Ryuji-Otogi's post was so obviously bad faith trolling that contributed nothing to the discussion I can't see how you could possibly find something to defend in that. But if it wasn't obvious enough the fact that he has now been banned should be a dead giveaway. Yet you find Julie's response to such an insultingly dismissive piece of nothing to be the poison? I'm all for listening to other people's viewpoints, even those I don't agree with. But Ryuji-Otogi never had a viewpoint. All he had were lowbrow insults.

More assumptions and insults without knowing the person instead of taking the step towards a civil discussion and discovering why other people view things in a different way (which is what I was promoting without taking 'sides'). You could simply ask Ryuji-Otogi why he feels that way. Maybe you can convince him of your viewpoint. Maybe he convinces you that his viewpoints may have merit. That's the cool thing about having a civilized discussion. Insulting people is usually not the best way to get them to see things from your point of view.

Instead you ride the insult train. That's the internet for 'ya I guess. A lot of people spewing their hurt onto the world, gaining some kind of strange satisfaction out of it. I wish you lots of love and hope you regain your happiness.

No, there are times to ask people why they believe what they do, but in cases where it's clear the intent was just to stir shit, there's no discussion to be had.

Sides? What sides are there to be taken here? He LITERALLY said-
White privilege is a myth. Carry on.
There are no fucking sides in that. It's either right or wrong. And that is clearly and simply wrong. This isn't a debate. That user is absolutely and simply wrong. There's no debating that and there are no sides to that.

And nobody and I mean absolutely nobody should have to give their time to having a "civilized" discussion around that. I'm actually appalled I'm having to say this because this should be common sense.

No. Absolutely not. Nobody here should have to educate anyone on why saying something like that is ignorant, disgusting, and downright stupid.

This isn't a power level debate. This isn't talking about characters. This is about having common sense and human decency.

That's not at all what happened here and you know it. Playing the "I pity you, I hope you learn" line with a condescending tone is ridiculous.

This whole thread was predicated on mocking GSRM people from the beginning. Jord is trolling all of us by going to bat for transphobia, homophobia and racism with dog whistles and false plays at 'sounding' reasonable while trying to frame queer folks and their allies as intolerant bigots. Fuck him.

I'd be willing to give Ryuji-Otogi some benefit of the doubt. However, if you look at all of his posts in this thread and other threads like it, you see a ridiculously clear pattern of behavior: short, dismissive bait posts. He was obviously never interested in a debate or respectful difference of opinion. He's only interested in treating people like crap. And that, I wager, is why he's no longer allowed to post.

Again, if anyone has any LGBTQIA+ community questions--especially about bi/pan or trans topics--I'm happy to talk about them. Anything to get past this fucking awful nonsense with grifters.

I outright reported the post in question last night. It really contributed nothing to the thread. If a user isn't being sincere then there's no point in being involved on a forum. I think we'll all be better off with only sincere actors.

I responded to him because, as I think has been made apparent on this thread and many others, there are a lot of people who are unclear on what exactly privilege is, so I wondered how he defined it to understand why he thought it was a myth. He may have been under a false impression of what it meant.

I'm just going to pop in here really quick to make sure everyone knows this thread is being watched closely. Report the trolls, don't engage.


Anyway, Piccolo's great, right?

This thread is about Piccolo?

I agree though, don't bother engaging with internet reactionaries. Detailed factual explanations won't work on them because they operate off of emotion, and facts don't care about their feelings.
