They got an actor who was in a major Hollywood production as Dyspo? That’s a bit surprising. Then again, they did get Peter Mayhew to voice a minor villain in the GT special all the way back in 2004.

Nah, it’s just more fun. We can call them the universal gangstas.
Dyspo's voice doesn't fit at all. I'm also kinda bugged they went with "Casserale" after their straightforward takes on the Vermoud and Top puns.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Why exactly do you feel the need to push the agenda that all Black People are criminals? These are cartoon aliens, so why racialize them based on their voice actors? No one ever mentions that all of the Z fighters sound white, despite the "trend" in their voice actors.
My explanations for the events of my favorite current manga.
Casserale found Top's missing syllable. Also, it got lost in all the nerds being weird about black people, but the alien baddie was voiced by Howard Wang (another TFS-adjacent fella) and he did a great job. I loved the deliberately cheesy lines they gave him and the Pride Troopers, really captured the idea of this as a sentai universe.

Would've said a TFS alumni, since he's done some tertiary voices for them, rather than just adjacent.

I mean, I kinda agree, I mean this is the fandom where some people feel offended by Popo because of blackface, even though he's a genie, but this I kinda get. Don't forget that some people also think Piccolo would be black or something just because his voice only slightly resembles a black person's in the dub, so...I'm torn here.
The epic tale of how Sean Schemmel blocked me on Twitter:
I tagged him in a thread explaining how his performance wasn't rerecorded when FUNi were redoing parts of the early Z dub for the Orange Bricks.
He thought I was misrepresenting his work by saying he wasn't in something he was in.
I explained how that wasn't the situation & did a bit of a sarcastic kinda thing involving the rerecordings FUNi did for the Z dub to show how stupid that was.
He said they didn't record him & not use his recordings.
Blocked & he deleted his response tweets to me.
???
Profit...?

Dude stop. You're not contributing to the conversation, and you are borderline trolling. I'm not even offended by the moderately racist joke, because I am above getting riled up about internet comments, but that doesn't mean I can't point out that it's in bad taste. I'm disappointed if this is what the kanzenshuu community is now.
My explanations for the events of my favorite current manga.
"lolz outrage culture SJWs" nonsense doesn't fly / work on us here. That there is denial and/or lack of understanding about what the problem(s) is/are here is... problematic, and not representative of this community's culture.
Account strikes come next. These add up to temporary/permanent bans, which revoke access to the entirety of the Kanzenshuu website. Please re-evaluate what it is you are looking to get out of your time and access here.

Right. This isn't the place for that kind of thing. It's not like that kind of culture is infesting the show or anything like some others. FUNi had to hire a whole lot of new actors for this arc & it just so happens that a lot of characters from one of the universes are voiced by black people. I don't really see why this needed to be brought up in the first place. It's not like it matters much in the long run, since it's just an arc of this one show meant for just 50 episodes of entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’m not being racist. I’m just paraphrasing a marlon Webb vine.
And besides. It’s a pattern, can’t we point out a pattern when it’s done in a specific place on a show? You don’t hear any of the other universes having any voices that aren’t Caucasian. Only universe 11 has so far been this universe. And I kind of like it. It’s a unique trait that funimation has added to the show story. It’s a positive in my opinion. Makes them stand out more.
And besides, think of the meme potential.
And I just found that this is the wrong video.

"I'm just parroting something I don't understand the larger context for" isn't particularly valid for anything other than a learning experience, which hopefully has happened here.

Think of the meme potential is not an argument you want to make in this sort of situation.
