I have seen those before. It's like they enjoy sucking on dog turds and anything that sounds sophisticated is UN-AMERICAN. No wonder Broly is so much more popular then most characters in america. Even when he became fully brainless. It perfectly describes their preferences.

Hit the nail on the head on that one. Look up AjayLikesGaming on here and youll see a quote by me that pretty much answers the question of this thread.

Even when the actors go out of their way to tell people why Kai is better and they openly admit to saying Kai is better, people still seem to ignore that and call themselves hardcore.

Most of the time they say the actors are lying or saying the actors "sold out"

I think that image is correct more often than you'd like to believe.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Especially when the spelling and grammar I see is a horrible mess. It's not just one or two mistakes, it's more like an in comprehensible mess.

Like not to call out anyone but SSJGotenks2009 has bad grammar and spelling.

I've noticed a similar thing happening with GT now that BoG has retconned it. Suddenly, everyone loves GT! They're telling themselves that BoG in non-canon and GT is awesome, they're saying that Super Saiyan 4 is much stronger than Super Saiyan God, and so on. Did I imagine that not that long ago nobody liked GT?

Battle of God's doesn't retcon GT.

GT has always had a fairly solid fanbase among fans of the dub. The most vehement dislike of GT usually comes from fans of the manga or the Japanese version of the anime.

Really? In my personal experience as a long time dub fan, nobody I spoke to ever really liked GT beyond "Hey, SSJ4 kinda looks cool". I've still never been able to watch more than a handful of GT episodes despite watching most of Dragon Ball and all of Dragon Ball Z (plus all of Kai, and having read the full manga). It's just kinda meh.

I used to speak to a lot of dub fans who had the "We don't mention GT" mindset. Now it's all "BoG sucks because it gets rid of GT!".

Where you see that? Even people who hate BoG(Like me) thinks it's better than GT(some would say it's equal to it). May I see a image or quote?

Indeed. The thing I usually find some fans dont like about it was SSJG. Otherwise BoG at least from what I've seen has had a positive reception by fans.
