So, no, he wouldn't tolerate it.
Yet he's willing to tolerate a group of aliens that among them have the ability to freeze time and change bodies.

Freeza's an idiot. Plain and simple.

How is Freeza, one of the most intelligent fighters in the series, an idiot?

Freeza's not an idiot. He's just very, very, very conceited.

An intelligent fighter? Since when? The man has fucked up numerous times in his conquest for universal domination/ immortality.

The only times where he fucked up was when he killed Kuririn, and nobody could have predicted Goku's transformation anyway, and when he refused to train when he came to Earth, which is just a retcon based on the new movie, but still acceptable I guess. Vegeta, Goku, Cell and plenty of others have fucked up (or could have fucked up) plenty more times by actually allowing their opponents to power-up instead of finishing the job quickly.

So? As far as we know, both of them tried that on Freeza and simply failed.

Ginyu could have tried his technique on Freeza, but Freeza might simply have evaded. There's nothing stating that his technique will freeze everyone in place, regardless of power level, in order for them to get hit and change bodies. So, Freeza would possibly consider him useful and not actually dangerous to him. To Freeza, it would be like someone who knows Kienzan, basically.

And Guldo could have tried his freeze time trick on Freeza but was unable to actually harm him, even with the advantage of having time frozen, until he got tired. And then Freeza would think the same of him that he did regarding Ginyu.

Anyway, this is more a case of stuff being inconsistent than anything else. Freeza is portrayed as someone who is very concerned about keeping his status and be unchallenged. That's paramount to his character and personality. Stuff that is apparently inconsistent with that exists more due to the writing not being very deep than anything else.

Between what was said during the Freeza Saga and Minus, they weren't all that "loyal". While they did what Freeza ordered of them, they were as defiant as could be when it came to doing what he wanted.
You could say the same about the vast majority of his planets and army. In fact, it's shown in the latest movie that he was considered a tyrant by them and his demise caused widespread revolt against the organization, proving that what held them together more than anything else of the fear of Freeza.

I'm not joking. Unless Piccolo, as mentioned, got the Kami slapped out of him off-screen, Shisami should be at Super Namek or Super Saiyan level, making him stronger than Freeza when he's first revived.

Plot Twist: For some random magical reason, Baby Pan is actually feeding off from powerful ki, that's why Gohan lost his mystic state and Piccolo became "weaker" (he has been spending a lot of time with Pan too). :lol:
