Why would you assume it's dub fans?

Its the go to for a lot of people for some reason. See it a lot with Broly as well, which is odd since his two returns happened before the Funi dub even started.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying to automatically blame dub fans for everything whenever something negative happens. Dragon Ball was FINISHED in Japan before the Ocean Dub over here even STARTED.

Dub fans are ignorant blowhards!

Sub fans are elitist jackasses!

It's 2007 and the orange bricks just came out!!

Oh wait...

He's mocking the DB fandom because a lot of them are stuck in the mid 2000s mindest, of "the dub suxs xD" or "sub fans are dickheads". Or something like that.
