This is why I have made an effort to not look at the comment section on Dragon Ball videos. But I will admit that some videos do have some fans who respect the original material and are not blinded by nostalgia. I've also noticed on Kai vs Z comparisons that the Dub fanbase is starting to respect Kai a little more.

Slowly yes. But you will always have those fans who just won't admit(sorry if this comes off as rude) that the voice acting is much better(IMO this is a fact) and the music is more fitting(Opinion). Though then we get those idiot fans that say as I just said. "Goku can't blow planets up cause he never has" or " You're not a TRUE fan".

"Yamcha/Kuririn can't fight a Magikarp! They're so weak :D "

Truth is, although they are weaker than the saiyans, they're still strong enough to kill a Gyarados with one punch if there ever was a DB/Pokemon crossover.
But I don't think People vs Pokemon is legal in the Pokemon world, just Pokemon vs Pokemon and vice versa.

To be fair. They're only weaker than the strongest pure Saiyans in the universe history most likely. So...in a way Humans > saiyans(Without Gogeta/Vegetto. AKA Goku and Vegeta). About Pokemon vs People. It's a similar to animal abuse in real life but with pokemon. Even though I'm sure only reason people don't attack pokemon is because you know.........Hypro Pumo, Heat Blast, Solar Beam, and Earthquake

That's not very accurate. They're weaker than the small number of "special" Saiyans, and stronger than the majority of Saiyans. However, they're the special humans.

Special Saiyans > Special Humans > Majority Saiyans > Majority Humans.

Well... No, because Humans > Saiyans isn't an accurate statement due to how misleading it is.

He wasn't a DB fan, but someone on Youtube said that Dragon Ball Z was responsible for ruining nerd culture.

Some guy on a FB page: "But DBZ isn't a kids' show." This guy kept claiming Dragon Ball was intended for the 20+ crowd from the start, and all he could use to support that claim was "explicit porn mags". I eventually led him to delete his post by pointing his lack of evidence when he said that "Yea, maybe kids watched the show, but it was mostly adults" when there are no statistics or trends to support that statement, and by giving him my own solid evidence; commercials of derived products, which featured children, of course. He even said something along the lines that the term "Shōnen", after I'd told him that Dragon Ball was a part of the genre of same name for a reason, could be used to describe "boys of all ages". That's right. "Boys". Not "grown-ass men". It's not so much just him either. A lot of people seem to agree with him. You gotta enjoy the product for what it is.

Other than that, just the usual "Toriyama said this" with no source, Yamcha/Krillin's weakness being exaggerated, "KAI SUCKZ! I HAZ NO BLUUD/FAULCONER!", and everyone in the Japanese Version sounding like girl/old ladies/kids.

Anytime anyone claims Toriyama said this when the have no source to back it up.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Not if you see it in every Youtube DB debate. Akira Toriyama hs stated that Freeza mother is a Kai. Akria Toriyama said Goku power level was 9000 and 8000 was a mistake. Akira Toriyama said fanfics are canon. My source? Db Wiki, DB Fanfic wiki, or no source at all. Akira Toriyama sai...AH SHUT THE FUCK UP :x .

I once saw a comment on YouTube claiming that Akira Toriyama himself only watches DBZ dubbed because he hates the "high pitched" japanese voices. :lol:
