Oh gee... well.. No, I did not read it all, but I read the begining of the post.

The guy asking how can someone be attracted to a cartoon/drawing, hey you remind me of my brother, my puberty was hard because I would get it on anime characters so he would make fun of me for that. I don't care. To me it's like liking a color, imagine you love blue and the someone comes and tells you you can't like it, because it's not normal... what? Thankfully lots of people share it and the internet brought us together, so it's a time to celebrate, not to get tiggered and upset, those who don't understand, just let it be.

Having said that.

All Toriyama babes are beautiful. Being objective when it comes to the body, all of them are almost the same, because that is the toriyama proportions, his very own aesthetics. Which is why the personality is to me the best parameter to consider. In other words, both of them are awesome, it depends on what you like.

BULMA
Bulma is my second favorite character in DB (just right after Vegeta). To me she has it all, she is cute, smart, hot body and she is rich. She is like a female bruce wayne or tony stark.Bulma is fun, adventure, she is hardcore, she is not for everybody. Also I love scifi and Bulma represents that in DB, I won't even lists all of her inventions, by this point we should all know them.

CHICHI
Chichi on the other hand might have a difficult character but she is the perfect wife. Despite the world ending she always worried about Gohan's education and overall being a devoted mother as she took care not only of Goku's home but she also assisted Videl and Gohan with their own household too. She was more than patient with Goku's friends. She took care of Goku when he had the heart disease, she also forgave him for all of his mistakes, always.


I like Bulma better because with her I would never get bored, even if Vegeta doesn't let us get intimate we could even talk about science and engineering. I'm very interested in the time machine and the capsules. I could ask a few questions.

Now that I think about it maybe it was Vegeta. He ruined her. Same with kid Trunks.
Bulma has practically stayed the same since Chapter 1.
Uh..no?
She was fun and sexy

In super she is just.. not? Only the bitchiness remained

PS - she also became short for some reason. Being a bit taller than Vegeta kinda suited her, now she's 2 inches shorter than him LMAO

Did you not see that one scene where she was flirting with Zamasu?

I did. That wasn't sexy nor fun. It was lame. It's not about her flirting, I'm talking about her whole personality. She just kinda lost something.
Like I said I particularly started to dislike her in Buu saga. She was just insufferable since the tournament. The way she was fighting with Chichi about Vegeta and Trunks being better than Chichi's guys considering Chichi's family actually need the money..just..ugh. She would not have been that way in the earliest sagas, she was actually nice and cool

Firstly, she did that same flirty thing with General Blue.
Secondly, she totally would have started an argument like that. She was almost gonna break ties with Yamcha because he was getting attention from other girls at one point and was irritable when she was at planet namek

Bulma was flirting with Zarbon, just because he looked good and she was in a relationship with Yamcha. Bulma was flirting even in a relationship and it had nothing to do with survival unlike Zamasu to stall time.

This is what makes the idea of Yamcha being a player hard to believe considering Bulma lusted after anything with a dick. If anything, she's the unfaithful one.

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.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Toriyama's writing of women is just as shitty as his writing of men, so it's no surprise that he would just write whatever dumb shit he wanted to to vaguely give characterization to Blooma--like having he be weirdly competitive with Chi-Chi during the Majin Buu arc--or whatever else. Women are like aliens to Toriyama and they will always be because he refuses to approach them as anything like himself.

I know right in the original Dragon Ball we only saw Bulma being the jealous and getting angry just because girls went up to Yamcha, even though there was no hint of cheating. But in the Namek Saga we actually see Bulma trying to cheat on Yamcha.

We never saw Yamcha cheating on Bulma at all, not even a little hint.

Why are you a Dragon Ball fan, exactly? Not trying to take the piss, just genuinely curious because of how much you seem to hate anyone associated with the show. If you seriously think Dragon Ball is a horribly-written pile of bigotry, why not find a show you actually like?

1. Toriyama is not the only creative force for the series. I'm here for the work of many people, Toriyama include.
2. Criticism makes DB better.

The story is decades old. Criticism won't change it.

And to answer the question, dear lord no. Even though the anime overdoes her worst qualities, she's still not interesting. Bulma, on the other hand, is very interesting and one of Toriyama's greatest creations.

Criticism will affect future works and push others to think critically about how media propagates negative stereotypes and ideas. Obviously as a woman (and an for-fun media academic) I talk about how we're negatively portrayed in media all the time but considering how many of my loved ones are men I also have a vested interest in seeing better portrayals of men in media.

I know Toriyama isn't the only guy behind the show, but you've made equally hateful comments towards other people associated with the franchise. And a lot of those comments have really toed the line between "a healthy amount of constructive criticism" and "Jesus why are you a fan of this show if you hate it so much." Don't get me wrong, you seem like a nice person, I just have no idea why you're here. I should probably drop the subject though.

I'm not obligated to make a quota of positive comments about the series to appease anyone but anyone that has read my recent posts will know that I have been very positive about not only the latest comic chapter of Dragon Ball Super but also the forthcoming film and the possibility of it both on a story and visual-level. I've also probably made other positive comments lately but I can't remember because of health issues.

Okay, sorry for making assumptions then. I guess the most negative comments stand out most. Like I said, I should probably shut up.

I would say that Chichi is a more likable person than Bulma. However, Bulma is the more interesting character.

Calling out Toriyama and others for shitty writing and bigotry does not equal hating them. Additionally, it's possible to like and enjoy horribly written and bigoted media.

Sure, but when you don't see much if any enjoyment coming from someone, one wonders why they are on a fan forum.
