I'm also sick when the casual non fan will say "Wow people still like DBZ?". I get that a lot in the past several years.

Yeah its just gotten to the point where these things should be jokes amongst friends and things only TeamFourStar says.

Were do you live? I feel like I'm in a Bizarro world compared to you. I recently found out one of my old mangers is a fan of Dragonball and I always get a compliment from a handful of people when I wear my DBZ shirts. I think you just live in an area that's just not into anime or geek culture in general.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Yamcha cheated on Bulma.

Gohan isn't stronger than Goku.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

But once it was featured in a TFS video, it just exploded and now everyone's at least said it once nowadays.

I really don't mind them, at least they aren't spread around like crazy. I can go to videos of dbz/kai without them being mentioned or barely. It's not nearly as bad as the fuckin mlp virus. Seriously if you like the show fine, just stop posting about it fucking everywhere, especially on videos with nothing to do with ponies.

-A Z-fighter as a Brony is my next hated thing. Seriously no one would take the time to care. They are either to busy training, studying, or being a father figure to care.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I live near by Baltimore. Most people in my area that are not into Japanese culture. I remember when I was in my senior year a few years back and I was reading the front page of this site. Some guy behind me was like "People still like DBZ? I thought that show ended a long time ago?!". I was like "Whatever. Funny coming from a guy with a G1 Transformers T-shirt". I did took a Asian film class last year, but a lot of people in that class were not into anime outside of Hayao Miyazaki. Most of them are in their 30's up to their late 50's.

You're free to dislike TFS but how are they "jerks?"

Well, when fans in general find a MLP video or any fan made video that uses some song or whatever and gets fans to hear the music alone (Catgroove for instance), one or two of them always make a comment like "____ brought me here." Trust me, I know.

Also it's posted "everywhere" because they can. Though if something like this thread getting a post about you-know-what with no basis in the topic at hand, then it's bad.

"Yamcha didn't cheat on Bulma". Y'know, despite it clearly being stated in the manga and there being no basis for it not being true.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

But Bulma has a history of twisting stories and please give me factual evidence by Toriyama-sensei himself.

Goku likely is stronger than Gohan. It's even outright stated by Toriyama, his explanation on Ki, and in a guide, Toriyama's Best section, that Goku is the strongest in the universe.
