Artificial Human #18 continuing to dodge capitalism and mooch off of others? Respect. 🫡
So Vegeta mooching off others deserve respect, since he doesn't have a job just like C18 doesn't have a job.

Being a police means protecting innocent people from criminals. That is better than being a artist.

There is no doubt being a artist is way more fun. A artist can draw and paint whatever they want, they have 100% freedom. They can travel to any location, to get inspiration.

However police they put their life in danger, to help innocent people. They put their life on the line to stop criminals.

Cops exist only to protect the property and wealth of the wealthy. Artists create art that gives back to all people.

Being an artist is much better.

Comparing a bisexual trans woman—a group historically harmed greatly by cops—to a stand-in for a fascist dictator (Emperor Palpatine) is really not doing your point any favors and is honestly more than a little insulting—to say nothing of silly. If you just want to be cutesy, though, then here you go: a rotten apple spoils the bunch (especially when it's, like, 99 rotten apples and a single not entirely awful apple in the same batch).

Like. I was originally going to be polite and write something a little less curt, but I think I'll leave that off here.

Anyway, Kuririn being written to be a cop sucks and is a shame that that is now just going to be A Thing for the rest of time or whatever.

And you're talking to a Black man who has been stopped falsely by the police because the color of his skin several times in the past, but has also seen some good cops including his own Uncle who always tried to do right and hated cops like the ones you mentioned who do harassing innocent groups for just trying to live their lives.

I understand yes there are a lot of asshole cops and I'm sorry you have been harassed simply because you choose to be your true self and assholes have a problem with that but others have had bad experiences to and it's wrong to so all of anything is bad and then turn around and use that to say a fictional character that you know is a good person is bad for joining the group which is why I mentioned Obi-Wan's quote in the first place because we're on a dragon ball forum talking about a fictional character. The quote was not comparing you as a bisexual trans-woman to the Sith, the quote was about showing all of any group usually can't be judge the same way just because their in the same group.

Or do you feel I'm a drug dealer because I'm a black man? I don't think you do.

So I'll agree to drop this if you agree as we're getting off topic. I'll offer an apology as well if you took my joke the wrong way but it has nothing to do with you personally a a person, it was a joke based on judging an entire group for the actions of a of others even if the majority of a group is in the wrong.

Didn't expect this topic to turn into an anti-police rant.

It is equally weird how guys like Yamcha and Kuririn aren't loaded. They are basically super human. Yamcha did the smart thing by using it in sports and becoming a baseball player (which I feel was dropped pretty fast, only to return in Super). With their powers they could easily become huge sports stars, make loads of money and retire early.

They could also continue to make lots of money by competing in martial arts tournaments.

I think in one of Toriyama's later interviews, he mentioned Tenshinhan and Chaozu went into construction.
