ABED wrote:Even supposig Popo was based off that photo, does that make him a racist charicature? He has more than enough attributes that separate him from said photo. People get all bent out of shape over damn near everything, because you can twist pretty much everything. Some people took Mark Webb's decision to take Mary Jane out of the Spider-Man sequel as some anti-feminist thing. I've read messages on this board where they complain about Toriyama drawing black people with big lips. Heaven forbid! Even Eddie Murphy can admit that on average, black people have bigger lips.

Anyone else think Black from the Red Ribbon Army looks like Doakes from Dexter?
I don't believe that Toriyama's intent was racism, I'm just saying that I understand why people are offended by it.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Take a wild guess.

This post was also to keep this thread back on track.
You Hairst xD My first guess was Adult Goten no lie. Then I thought Yamcha
I don't think that's him. Judging by the "You Hairst xD", it sounds like you're saying "Your Hair".

That appears to be Richard Ramirez, an American serial killer, rapist and burglar who died while awaiting execution on California's death row.
Wait seriously? Whoops. I just typed people that look like Yamcha in Google Image Search.

Well he was a desert bandit. If he didn't get some type of item while you're in his bandit. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD. He chops the ear off of each of his kills. I'm amazed that he got into heaven.

This is kinda off topic but, holy shit, TheGmGoken! How'd you manage 2197 posts in only 4 months? :shock: That's some serious Kanzenshuu-ing you've been doing.
