Dragonball Season 1 Discussion

So...you are asking people to change their posting patterns then.

Out of respect for other users, yes. However, this is not something which I am stressing on my own here. Respect, after all, is a one of the forum rules, which can be viewed each and every time you navigate to the board:

RULE # 5: ATTITUDE & EMPHASIS
Be respectful of your peers. There are people of many different nationalities, ethnicities, sexualities, etc.

Essentially, each and every time you post bare breasts or other nudity without warning, you are explicitly breaking the forum rules. In other words, it should not even be an option. So yes, I am asking you to amend your posting patterns to be in-line with the expectations that were laid out for me when I created my account. If these terms are unacceptable, please change the forum rules and delete this line entirely, because as it stands it is very clear that my very logical request is not being respected in the slightest.

Are you saying Dragon Ball is pornography? And that's completely ignoring your complaints are about how "you" find it disgusting and how repulsed "you" are. Nobody cares about you. While it's obviously not anywhere a focal point, the Dragon Ball series has nudity in it. Deal with it, or go find a Hamtaro forum, 'sall I can say.

Stop pushing your ideals on people.
How childish of you to say "nobody cares about you."

I thought this user-base prided itself on maturity. Apparently your mentality is still stuck in the grade school level.

I'm not asking people to change their posting patterns. I'm simply asking for a WARNING, be it within the post in bold point, or better yet, within the topic title.

You can't go around calling something like Dragon Ball "pornography" and nto expect to get a "what the hell?" response. Perhaps if you had worded in a way that wasn't so rediculously oversensitive, you wouldn't get such an equivalent response. There /isn't/ a problem asking politely to just link something like that, but that /isn't/ what you did. You flew off the handle, threw a bullshit, compeltely untrue label on what is material from the series this forum is dedicated to, and then went on about your personal beliefs as if you're special.

But I forgot! This is Smoothenshu CX! the most authoritative and complete stop online for anything and everything Smooth Criminal for more than a decade! In hopes of enlightening... and a little bit of entertaining. It's even got a forum that revolves around Smooth!

If you think DB is this gross entity promoting nudity in the streets, that's fine. But keep it to yourself. And if you absolutely /can't/ keep it to yourself, maybe not post like a such a pretentious moral-driven asshole. Just throwin' that out there.

The product (DB Season One) is the best thing to happen to DragonBall fans in the West for years... and yet still all people can do is argue over Bulma's ta-tas.

Good lordy.

That's funny because I already have a girlfriend.

So we have to start our own thread to post pictures relevant to the discussion in this thread just because a member is crying and bitching about it? How about if you feel like gouging out your eyes just because you are viewing slight nudity get an image blocker,you are in the underwhelming minority.

MagicBox · Post by **MagicBox** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 12:28 am

Not to be "that guy," but seeing as how he's already made his request for there to be some sort of lead-in to the images inside the messages, can we just, like, let it go and get back to the sets? That whole season nine thing has gotta be fresh in y'all's minds, so do we really want this thread closed? Sorry to mini-mod.

So what does everybody think the episode counts are going to be seeing as the first set is gonna have 31 episodes (man, I hope that isn't a typo from "13")? I'm guessing they'll stretch it to get the whole Red Ribbon Army arc. That's gonna be HUGE.

Yes, this forum is foir Dragonball discussions; however, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. As SmoothCriminal and I have pointed out, it is extremely offensive to some of us and your attitude is terrible. If you dont like our wish, start the new thread with some nudity pictures with title "NUDITY".

Way to stand by your argument like a mature individual, there.

I don't see it being that big, personally. I predict Red Ribbon and Blue Sagas on one set, Commander Red and Baba on another.

May have Kaioshin mercy upon you. For record, you have broken a rule few times. Read the Forum Rule again and reconsider your attitude and emphasis.

This. Dear lord, no wonder we have a bad rep with the general dragonball fandom...

For the record that is probably an exaggeration.

I don't pray to any Kaioshin. *Epic Zoro smile*

Hey if Mr.EX has an issue with my attitude let him deal with me. I think you're past the "friendly reminder" stage and actually being a mini-mod which ironically enough is against the rules too.

Have a lovely day friend.

Yes, I broke the rule for the sake of morality. And, you, my friend, are not having any moral while breaking one of the most important rules Mr. Ex have had posted for us to read before creating our accounts. I am sure you are aware that by creating account, you have agreed to follow Mike's rules. And you broke it anyway. We just asked you guys to simply warn us in advance before posting any naked pictures, even if it's anime. I am sorry but you have to live in reality and respect our wish.

Sorry, Mike. I wont break the rule next time.

Wow, that got blown out of proportion fast. The pictures don't bother me personally, but I can completely understand the other side of the argument. Linking the pictures instead of embedding them into the post isn't as big a deal as some people here are making it out to be.

Bebe's boobs destroy society while Bulma's ruin intelligent conversations on forums.

Season Two should have Tao Pai Pai. Hands down. The last episode could be when he dies.

EDIT: Thats 34 episodes. No problem.

Oh you're the official source on morality now which is a completely subjective matter? My idea of morality is knocking down those who think everybody should kowtow to their whim whenever they aren't pleased with something. So actually I'm having tons of morality. It's clear now who I'm debating. When you start spouting nonsense like you're the authoritative source on morality it becomes abundantly clear to me your level of intelligence. I think we're done here.

I assume that Season 1 will contain Goku saga and Budokai arc. Season 2 will contain entrie Red Ribbon arc.

Goddamn it people! The tits are a part of Dragonball whether or not you like it. If you view material like this as "offensive" then why the hell are you posting in a thread (or forum for that matter) about the series that contains said material?

Seriously, I am sick of all of these threads ending up locked because of people who find parts of the series "offensive." You know they exist, you know they'll be discussed. Stop trying to tell us which parts of the series we can discuss and what we cannot.

Thank you for a gorgeous time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now back on topic.

I will buy these sets even if it's cropped and even if the picture quality is equivalent to the early Z sets (although I may make an exception if it is Season Two bright) because I have yet to see the original series in it's entirety.

My Dad also wants to see it as well.

SonGokuGT · Post by **SonGokuGT** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 3:01 am

Not to be a dick, but if you find such things offensive: Why do you watch/read "Dragonball"? There's plenty of it in there...

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POST GET (and in color, too!)

There you go, NeptuneKai.

You know, when somebody said (I'm paraphrasing) "I'm reading this from work, soooo..."? Well, that sounded a lot less stupid than this.

What if some 10 year old saw this?

Don't worry: Dragon Ball isn't for kids.

Erm... yes it is? After all, I'm pretty sure a shonen anime (shonen, of course, meaning "young boy") is intended for... well, young boys. And unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure that a young boy qualifies as a kid. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course!
