Nearly everything about Dragon Ball Heroes after a certain point and when people want to put Dragon Ball Heroes content into something like Xenoverse.
It seems like the entire idea of it is to just stuff as many bland transformations and characters as they can without a single thought, and almost none of it is even halfway good. I apologize to anyone who's gears get grinded by this, but... it's fanfiction tier. I don't know a better way to describe it.
Now granted DBXV has SOME ridiculousness to it, but I never felt like it was quite as absurd. Except SSJ3 Time Breaker Bardock. I'm still salty about that.
Fans who relentlessly try to defend the dub and say the alterations don't change anything. I don't hate people for liking the dub, but it genuinely annoys me when they refuse to acknowledge that in general it's not a good representation of the source material. I for one actually have a lot of love for the Ocean dub, but outside of those first three movies, I would never attempt to use it as a representation of the source material.
The better chunk of the FUNImation dub(s) in general.
Power levels.
Fans who attack people who use the Japanese names. I can't count how many times I've been attacked for using "Saiyajin" (ironic, given most of the people who attack me also use the shorthand SSJ abbreviation without wondering where the J came from), or saying Makankosappo instead of Special Beam Cannon. Even more amusing given the Kai dub used Makankosappo.
Kid Vegeta's hair everywhere outside of Battle of Gods and Minus.
...Also, people who bash Minus acting like it has no redeeming quality whatsoever, even though it ultimately does make more sense than the TV special (though I do love the TV special, and consider it a great standalone story much like many of the original 13 movies).
The first two arcs of Dragon Ball Super in the anime (the retellings of the movies), including the universe punching. ESPECIALLY the universe punching.
Fans who defend the Dragon Ball Super manga when it does the same asspulls and/or worse asspulls than the anime, but bash the anime. Why is SSJ Ikari Trunks considered to be too much, but Goku having Mastered SSJ Blue and Hakai out of nowhere is okay?
Also, Toyotaro's "homages" in general. And his weird Super-Saiyajin God fetish. A lot of Toyotaro things actually...
Non-spiking Super-Saiyajin hair in Xenoverse and it's sequel.
People who still refuse to accept that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had any flaws (let alone the idea the entire thing was a flaw that occasionally had some game-like bits, but I'm being a bit hyperbolic Time Chamber / Room of Spirit and Time there). It's... it's just not a good game.
Much of the anime coloring. Especially the yellow on the Namekian arms. The pink is fugly.
People who bash the Buu arc and Dragon Ball Super for the Super-Saiyjain Bargain Bin Sale and wonky power scaling, but praise the Cell arc despite it doing the same thing.
Censorship. All of it.
Not my own gears getting ground, but Cell stepping on #16's head. There were gears, and I am convinced Cell was grinding them.
The universe punching in the early part of DBS. Again. Not even joking when that nearly made me give up on Dragon Ball in general. I actually began to question if the series had ever been good. (The glory of the bit with Mr. Satan, Goku, and the tractor restored my faith in the franchise.)
The fact that we've never got a truly remarkable incarnation of the series in English (dub or manga). I mean, I like the English manga well enough, and I'd say it's at least 'good' but it's still not as good as it should be.
My terribad Dragon Ball jokes.
I'm sure there's more, but I already whined and complained said more than enough. (Plus, I'm sure I said like 30 things in there that were highly hypocritical.)
