Things fans do that piss you off

Post by Sun_Wukong » Sun Dec 17, 2006 3:50 pm

What are your pet peeves when it comes to dragonball? My big one is calling the forms of buu Gotenksbuu, Gohanbuu, ect. It just bugs me, for no real reason.

I hate it when fans say that SSJ3 Goku is stronger than Ultimate Gohan, and that Kid Buu is the strongest Buu.

Just as a warning peterx, we like to use proper grammar and spelling around here.

There are so many things about the fans that annoy me but I'll just name the three biggest ones.

1. Annoying power level lists that go past the Trunks arc.
2. Almost any kind of DBZ fanfiction, especially of the romantic genre
3. The direct copying of official art that some people put off as their own

I don't know if those are really in order. Also, what is it with some people who call Gokuh Kakarot? C'mon, his name is Gokuh! Do you think you're a saiyajin or something?

-When people take their time to make threads like this. :roll:
-I don't like when people bash certain parts of the series just because their friends do.
-I also hate when people go out of their way to say things like "Bejita" or "Torankso" just for the sake of sounding like they know better than another fan.
-I don't like DragonBall Z and Linkin Park together.
-Finally, SSJ5 and beyond.

Now, if there's anyone who believes in what I'm about to say, I apologise in advance. I hate it when people say Kid Buu is stronger than Super Buu or any form above Super Buu.


Also there are the ever present BROLY > EVERYONE LOL statements I see flying around.

Besides that manga, sorry for not writing that earlier.. ^^; Any other AF attempt is horrible, imo. That manga 'done did right. :P

You mean AMVs? I don't think they are all too bad. Check out this one!
EDIT: Nice recovery Rick! (^_-)

It is kind of annoying when you want to look for a clip of an anime, and all you ever get is AMV's x_x.

I dislike the whole fandom in general, which include DBZ AMVs associated with any rock music, Broly>whatever discussion, anything to do with power levels, Generic SNs, Superman vs. Goku discussions, etc.,

I generally enjoy Dragon Ball as a inventive, whimsical, enchanting fantasy martial arts adventure that applies science fictional elements much as the series progresses & it doesn't take itself too seriously when applying science into the series. It's just fun read/watch, into the lives of people that live in an alternate universe. Any scientific arguement invloving Dragon Ball make my head want to explode. I'm pretty sure Toriyama doesn't give a rat's ass about what he applied & just went with it for the sake of continuity.

True, sometimes I just want to see a special scene from DB and all I ever get is a stupid clip with Linkin Park's "In the End" which shows how amazing Vegeta and Trunks are :roll: ...

My pet peeves when it comes to DB fandom:

1) DB-related fanfiction. In fact, most fanfiction is quite unappealing to me.

2) Power/strength comparisons & arguements (Toriyama doesn't care about SSJ2 Gohan's power level at 309234923043249820 or whatever.... :? ) Especially after the Freeza saga when they're no longer being counted.

3) People who hate on the Japanese version, and also people who hate on the dub relentlessly. People will like whatever version they like, but please keep an open mind when it comes to music and voiceovers.

4) Bootleggers/downloaders. The show and the merchandise are all easily available in a number of ways without you having to buy Ebay bootlegs or download it. "I have the entire DB sereez on mah harddrive, foos!" Who cares, you're not a fan.

Most of mine have been listed, but I might as well go on ahead.

- Broli fanboys. I have toyed with disliking anyone who likes Broli, but that really isn't fair.

- Those who claim the movies a part of the canon storyline, with one or two exceptions (Movies 1, 9, and 13).

- Manga haters.

- Anime haters.

- Movie haters.

- Japanese version haters.

- Dub haters (not to be confused with those who dislike the dub, like myself).

- Those who don't watch the Japanese version because they don't like reading.

- People who come to DBZ boards just to say DBZ sucks.

- superstar

- The ongoing thing about the strength of the Boo's.

- Most fans under the age of 16.

- Most dub-only fans.

- Most non-daizex internet fans.

- People who think the Videogames count as fact.

- People who hate Super Dragonball Z.

- Those who like Sparking! more than SDBZ without a fricken good reason.

- Anyone who likes Budokai 1 or 2 more than 3, as far as the fighting system and techniques go.

- People who make really, really long lists in this thread.

- Hypocrites.

- Myself.

- When people don't point out that the last 3 things on their list were a joke.

- End.
