This scene made me cry?

[Kamiccolo9]

All I see is someone who's determined to put on a "manly" front in front of an internet audience, which is the last kind of person that I'd want speaking for me.

See that you had to say that I'm trying to be manly just because I haven't cried watching a cartoon and find it a little strange for other adults to cry over a kids cartoon is a little bit laughable really.

If you got an average person in his twenties or thirties to sit down and watch DBZ then no he would not cry watching it. It has nothing to do with being manly or tough, grown adults just do not cry while watching a cartoon like DBZ. There is no arguing this.

However if you disagree then please feel free to make a video where you go up to a group of teenage boys and girls and tell them you cried watching DBZ. Let's see how many don't just laugh in your face.

Maybe not DBZ, but I could easily show you over a dozen adults who have cried during the Lion King. And personally, I think the fact that you are actually insulting people who get emotionally attached to cartoons to be a bit pathetic.

And of course I can argue this. You will notice that your opinion is in the minority here. So I'm not really seeing much to back your opinion up. So, are you insulting the community here, then?

[ABED]

Most adults don't spend time on a forum talking about a kid's cartoon, but clearly you have no problem with that.

Not DBZ but some of my friends admitted to crying (well crying is a strong word but you get the general picture) to GT's ending

I tear up at Goku coming back from and going back to Other World for not because it's that sad, but because I have a personal connection to it.

Like Gohan I lost my dad when I was young, 12 years old to be exact. Now I know life isn't like DBZ so people can't back to life obviously, but it just struck my heart when he came back and everyone is all happy and he meets Goten.

Similar with when he leaves to go back. His goodbye to Goten still makes me tear up.

Say what you want about the dub and the replacement music, that scene (IMO) is much better in English


Doesn't make any less "manly" or a sissy. Please, get over yourself.

Nahhhh you don't say because the average adult would take DBZ just as seriously as the people on here do right?

I'm not surprised that people here would cry about the show but your average adult would laugh at you for it.

Again, who appointed you to speak for the average adult?

And if you consider yourself one of these "average adults", then I suggest you reevaluate your priorities. Why should it matter what someone else gets emotionally attached to? Or do you just make fun of them to fit in better with what you perceive as the "average adult?"

Maybe Dragon Ball, but I'd wager most adults do get emotionally invested in fiction. It's one of the main reasons the dramatic arts, literature... heck, all art forms have endured for thousands of years. Perhaps you haven't heard of it, but it's so common there's actually a word for it: catharsis. And since, for some reason, Harry Potter appeared in my dreams last night, it seems appropriate to paraphrase a quote from it: Just because *you* have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean the rest of us are so unfortunate.

Showed Krillin death(Piccolo arc) to my friend. He said it was sad and made him feel bad.

He hates anime.

Everyone is different. There's no such thing as "average" adult.

[ABED]

Everyone is different. There's no such thing as "average" adult.

There is such a thing as the average/typical adult. However that doesn't imply that falling outside of that behavior is by necessity wrong or that it doesn't change. I find this odd that Bullza's talking about typical grown ups when he's on a forum discussing a cartoon, not typical adult behavior either.

I know you're trying to justify grown adults crying over Dragon Ball Z and everything because you're a fan but no it's just not working . If you think your average adult would cry over watching DBZ (which was hardly sad) then you could do with spending more time in the real world rather than here.

Besides in my original comment I never made fun of anyone, everyone else just went defensive because they didn't want to look silly.

Watching and talking about a cartoon is one thing. It having such an emotional impact that it's worth crying over is another.

[ABED]

Didn't claim it was the same, but it's not average adult behavior. Why do you care so much about what the "average" adult does?

Not really. It's the same thing. You're supposedly concern with average adult behavior yet you're talking Db online. Also do you think we're drowning in tears? It's a figure of speech.

If you think your average adult would cry over watching DBZ (which was hardly sad) then you could do with spending more time in the real world rather than here.

What's your average adult? Please tell me. Average European? Average American? Average African? Average Austrilan? Average Asian? Who's these average adult? I'm still a teenager so I'm very much curious.

Besides in my original comment I never made fun of anyone, everyone else just went defensive because they didn't want to look silly

So you made a reason for us to defend? That's not fair honestly. Because in real life I'm a silly goof with no troubles. So calling me silly is a good thing. However none of your comments should be insulting people calling them "sissy". It's rude.

A number of adults cried over Toy Story 3 and multiple Disney-Pixar film. Am I supposed to care what people outside my family and friends supposed to think?

[Bullza]

Didn't claim it was the same, but it's not average adult behavior.

Who cares, it's completely irrelevant. If you're just trying to make a point that I'm in the same boat as those that cry over it just because I talk about it then don't bother.

Why do you care so much about what the "average" adult does?

I don't care what the average adult does, I just said they wouldn't cry over a cartoon which they wouldn't. It's not supposed to be complicated. The real question is why everyone cared just because I said I hadn't cried over it. Please no need to feel embarrassed on my account.

It's relevant because you are fine with not being an adult in some aspects but criticize others for what you deem as un-adult behavior.

Don't say you don't care what the average adult does. You clearly do, hence why you keep bringing it up. Why does it matter if they wouldn't? What purpose do you have in pointing out that other adults don't? If you had written that you did not cry, that's fine. No one's saying you had to, but it seems like you are saying people are criticizing you for not shedding a tear. What we're getting on you for is insulting people who do. "Emotional sissy" is an insult.

[Bullza]

Not really. It's the same thing.

No, no it isn't.

You're supposedly concern with average adult behavior yet you're talking Db online.

The two don't really correlate. I talk about a lot of things online and I don't cry over them.

What's your average adult? Please tell me.

You don't need to look into it so deeply. If you want a quick example go outside and find an adult on the street and ask him if he'd cry watching a kids cartoon show.

So you made a reason for us to defend?

Not really, all I said was they hadn't cried over it because it's just a cartoon which led to people feeling the need to defend themselves because they'd previously admitted to crying over it.

So calling me silly is a good thing. However none of your comments should be insulting people calling them "sissy". It's rude.

You should get some thicker skin. If you felt insulted because I called a person in general (not you specifically) a sissy then it's no wonder you cried watching it or teared up, apples and oranges.

Am I supposed to care what people outside my family and friends supposed to think?

Not really so why do you care what I think? If I find it laughable that a grown adult male would cry watching a cartoon for kids where everyone who dies just comes back then let me think it. Stop defending yourself.

[TheGmGoken]

Bullza read my above post.

Why are you assuming we're embarrassed? I'm s proud anime fan and everyone who knows me know I'm an anime geek. Also it's the way you word it and insulted people of the forum.

You don't need to look into it so deeply. If you want a quick example go outside and find an adult on the street and ask him if he'd cry watching a kids cartoon show

OK. I asked. He said he cried to Lion King. That's for kids.

You should get some thicker skin. If you felt insulted because I called a person in general (not you specifically) a sissy then it's no wonder you cried watching it or teared up, apples and oranges.

I wasn't insulted. Stop assuming things. Just stop. Seriously I never said I was insulted. I said others might be. Please stop assuming. Makes you sound even more rude. So this quote is invalid.

Not really so why do you care what I think? If I find it laughable that a grown adult male would cry watching a cartoon for kids where everyone who dies just comes back then let me think it. Stop defending yourself.

I'm not an adult. I don't care what you think. It's the way you conducted yourself. I didn't respond to you until you called people sissies. That shows that I'm just curious on other people opinions.

[DarkPrince_92]

This is getting out of hand... but Bullza does have a point, some of you seem overly sensitive to his comments. At the same time, Bullza being so blunt comes off as rudeness, so I can see why people are upset. Not pointing fingers at you Bullza, I just want to make sense of this "argument".

Also, he's not wrong about most of what he said. I doubt the average adult connects to media of this sort on that deep of an emotional level. It would definitely seem silly to anyone but us on here. I bet you that even kids that watched Dragon Ball haven't cried from watching it either. At least all the terrible ass kids in my hood lol.

[Bullza]

It's relevant because you are fine with not being an adult in some aspects but criticize others for what you deem as un-adult behavior.

Which is why I said there's a difference between watching a cartoon and crying over a cartoon. Every adult does something that isn't for adults specifically not every adult takes it serious enough for it to bring them to tears. You're trying to push a point but it's just not the same thing.

Don't say you don't care what the average adult does.

I don't. I'm not sure why you're reaching when I simply said the average adult doesn't cry watching a cartoon show. There's nothing more to it than that.

What we're getting on you for is insulting people who do. "Emotional sissy" is an insult.

Don't lose any sleep over it . I never insulted anyone in my first post, people jumped on me because they'd admitted to crying watching it and then I came along and said I didn't because it was a cartoon so they felt the need to justify it.

Seeing how people have gotten up over it I can see why they cried watching it in the first place. I like the show as much as anyone here but if you're going to cry when watching it then yeah they're a sissy, sorry.

Not sure about everyone else but it was a figure of speech to cry. I didn't wipe tears or get tissues. I'm sayin the scene was emotional and relatable. If a scene reminds me of my dead grandfather it honestly might make my stomach hurt. But I wouldn't cry. I have no issues with Bullza opinion as I explained in the above post.

There are ways to say "I didn't cry" without knocking someone. See, I just did it. He can make whatever claim you want, just shouldn't be rude about it. We're well aware of how the average adult connects to it, but many of us don't care, and using that to justify why we should or shouldn't is obnoxious. Bullza claims not to care what the average adult does, then why bring it up?

Which is why I said there's a difference between watching a cartoon and crying over a cartoon.

Surprise, surprise, you missed my point even though it was clear that it wasn't about watching it. You found an online forum and discuss the show constantly. That's different than if you just watched it.

Don't lose any sleep over it .

It's great that you so easily amuse yourself.

they're a sissy, sorry.

Stop insulting people. I have thick skin, but it's rude, obnoxious, condescending, bully behavior, and childish. It's actually the mature ones who are more open about their feelings. We get it, you didn't cry, but no need to puff yourself up and be what you deem to be adult behavior.

I don't. I'm not sure why you're reaching when I simply said the average adult doesn't cry watching a cartoon show. There's nothing more to it than that.

You keep bringing it up as if somehow it's relevant how they react as opposed to how those who have gotten emotional act. Constantly bringing it up undercuts your claim.

In any case let's not derail this thread anymore.
