Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint

It doesn't seem to that big of a deal, but it really does how the writers went too far with Master Roshi's perviness in episode 89 of Super.

Eh, kinda ridiculous. It's his character. Let it be. It's not reality.

It's a show targeted toward kids that played up sexual assault for humor in the episode. It's not surprising there'd be complaints about it.DrakenballP wrote:Eh, kinda ridiculous. It's his character. Let it be. It's not reality.

Targeted towards kids? With vulgar language, sexual innuendos, perverted material, blood, etc? Call me crazy, but that's NOT for kids.Hirovoid wrote:It's a show targeted toward kids that played up sexual assault for humor in the episode.

It airs at a time specifically aimed toward a kid audience.DrakenballP wrote:Targeted towards kids? With vulgar language, sexual innuendos, perverted material, blood, etc?

I am more than okay with that. It wasn't funny.

Seriously? I mean, it wasn't funny at all, but c'mon. I don't want to sound like an asshole, but this kind of complaint cannot be taken seriously at all. Especially considering the fact that this complaint is coming from the same watchdog group in Japan that complained about a kiss on a late night anime and a character eating a banana. I mean, just the fact they've made complaints in the past about content on late night anime shows that their complaints really lack a lot of foundation. It's like complaining about the violence in Game Of Thrones or The Walking Dead.

Also airs at a time aimed towards Westerners who are fresh off work; ALSO, airs to correspond with the Japanese air date in many times, ALSO ALSO, it airs differently in all areas of the world.Hirovoid wrote:It airs at a time specifically aimed toward a kid audience.DrakenballP wrote:Targeted towards kids?

Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
That's unfortunate. I had a feeling it was an over-reaching conservative group and it was an "even a broken watch" situation. Would be happy to see someone a bit more measured take a closer look at this sort of thing in kids' media. Though that probably happens all the time without Western-entertainment-news fanfare as well.Lord Beerus wrote:Seriously? I mean, it wasn't funny at all, but c'mon.

Dragon Ball has always been for kids and that isn't even remotely up for debate. Plenty of all-ages appeal there, but its target audience has always been kids.DrakenballP wrote:Also airs at a time aimed towards Westerners who are fresh off work; ALSO, airs to correspond with the Japanese air date in many times, ALSO ALSO, it airs differently in all areas of the world.

DB Super airs in Japan at 9 in the morning which is a kids slot so considering Japan is its home country, it's a show for kids.DrakenballP wrote:Targeted towards kids? With vulgar language, sexual innuendos, perverted material, blood, etc? Call me crazy, but that's NOT for kids.
Keep in mind that what's for kids in Japan doesn't mean it's for kids in other countries. In America for example, if something isn't made for brain dead todlers then it's too voilent for anyone who isn't 18+.DrakenballP wrote:Also airs at a time aimed towards Westerners who are fresh off work.

Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
How on Earth has Dragon Ball always been for kids? Not even the original series was designed for kids. Nothing in the Anime hints it's for kids. None of the behavior or language or anything else.
The Manga, and Anime, are both aimed at Teenagers, not children.
Japanese or not, it's for Teenagers. It's stated it's for "十代" meaning Teens, meaning Teenagers.
Being it goes from Shonen > Seinen (probably spelled these wrong), and there being no age centric for Teenagers, Dragon Ball would be presumed to fit that category of being aimed at particularly, 12-17.
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with liking a kids show. Samuari Jack, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc, I love 'em all and always will.

Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
Good. That joke was insanely uncomfortable and not funny at all. I hope this teaches them a lesson about writing Roshi in-character from now on (although whoever wrote episode 94 nailed Roshi's character)
Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
As far as I understand, from 2 minutes of research, this isn't "coming from" the BPO. Viewers submit complaints to the BPO and the BPO puts them out there, like the feedback section of a newspaper.Lord Beerus wrote:Seriously? I mean, it wasn't funny at all, but c'mon.

It was published in Weekly Shonen jump. Which is aimed at Young boys. Which includes children to as young as 6 or 7.DrakenballP wrote:How on Earth has Dragon Ball always been for kids?

Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
That Roshi scene was very off putting and unfunny. Sexaul Assault is no laughing matter, because that is essentially what was happening. If an old man chased after a woman to try and feel her up or look up her skirt in real life no one would be laughing. There are better ways of inserting sexual humor into the series without resorting to sexual assault.
Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
People overreacted to a tame unfunny scene. Next, at 11; Scientist hypothesize that water is indeed wet.

Re: Master Roshi Targeted in BPO Published Complaint
I know Muten Roshi was a perv but his gags were harmless during its original run. But his portrayal in episodes 89 and 90 were really off and came off almost like a rapist it was uncomfortable to watch.
