Whatever a humdinger is. You're just making up words to boost up my volcabulary with lies now, aren't you?

One down: Necrophelia.
Two down: Pedophile Necrophelia. If there's a better term for that, I don't care.
Three down (super bonus): Pedophile Necrophelia with F- Forget it, I'm not going to ruin my imaginary reputation by speaking of it. Use your imagination though, seriously. I bet you could get even lower than that, but I don't consider myself the book writer on sickness.

You know, I think you just wrote Tom Green's biography. :wink:

So I guess I'm supposed to figure this is an answer to my question then?

I didn't draw them. But, honestly, I find the Misty/Psyduck one to be very funny. Zack's got the right idea. It's disturbing, but that's because it's a bit of a sending up of over-the-top hentai. If it was naked Misty being abused by a tentacle-rape bizarro monster thing, then yeah, sick. But the situation there is so ludicrous as to make it a joke. It's silly. Very silly. Light hearted sillyness! Fun! And the headache joke is good.

And if it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure that the Misty one was drawn by a girl.

(And and, as this thread continues to be dragged of course, I do remember once going to a PPG message board, and finding a hidden forum that contained...adult images. And THEY were sick.)

And and and, tentacle rape monsters! Crazy country!

If that's not an answer, I don't know what is. Well, Tom Green can tell you. I don't exactly have his number.

So in other words, you did draw them Liam! :P To tell you the truth though, I found the Vegita/Trunks one more disturbing than the Misty/Psyduck one. And don't tell me to talk to Tom Green! I used to see him walking around downtown when he was just an immature student fooling around on a local community cable show. It just weird seeing the same idiot dating Farrah Fawcett. :?

I suppose it depends on what the point of the image is. Tentacle rape (WTF) is suppossed to be arousing. Why, I have no idea, but it is. Little Goku running around peeing is hilarious. It never gets old. Ever.

Now, these images did contain a sexual element, but the point was humour. There was nothing arousing about either of them. Unless you fancy Psyduck, I suppose. This makes it more like Yamcha catching sight of Bulma showering (although even that I'd argue had an element of "arousal" to it).

And for the James/Vegeta one, well, they aren't doing anything illegal, are they? They aren't related, they're both above age, I say go for it!

Ahh. That explains the "incest" comment. And the "Vegita/Trunks" comment too, I guess.

There's a couple of pictures of James in situations like that. And by a "couple", I mean "loads". Of course, that's not presenting James in a way that he isn't in the show. They can't have a gay relationship in Sailor Moon, but they can have the biggest, campest gay man in the world running around in women's dresses (and loving it) on Pokemon?

Odd, odd country.

Ya, but James never actually hits on any guys, Neptune and Mercury have a lot of scenes where they "make eyes at each other". I'm curious since I haven't seen the T.V. version of the episode, what they did with Trunks and that gay biker guy who he was paired with at the Budokai tournament in the Buu saga. I suppose they just edited it. Of course the irony of ironies is Funimation actually putting a gay inference into the series with Freeza's famous "Whatever turns you on big guy" comment. How twisted is that? :D

Chris Psaros made a good comment about that. He said that judging by the flame mail that FUNI receives, they've obviously realised that for a large portion of their viewers, making some gay is the best indicator of them being evil.

I haven't seen that episode either, but I would guess that they might have implied it without going too far. After all, if the Powerpuff Girls can put in (more than one) "bloke staring at other bloke in slightly suspicious way" scenes, then DBZ should be able too.

They had the same problem with General Blue too, remember. I don't know what they did on the TV version, but the dubbed DVD gives every indication of him being gay without actually coming out and saying it. Which seems to be allowable.

The problem with Freeza's line wasn't so much the content itself, it was the way the voice actor said it that made it sound homosexual in nature. So perhaps we should be blaming the dialogue director.

In the manga, Bulma pieced things together after Blue's reaction to her rubbing against him. She responder, "Phooey! Must be gay!" Krillin then says, "I didn't know there were gay bad guys!" No disrespect intended, but did anyone else read this line in a way that they started laughing afterwards? As for the tv version, it was like Toonami's other shows with homosexual characters. Nothing was said, but it was rather obvious.

Yeah, that scene was hilarious for me in the manga. When I saw the anime dub of it, I didn't really laugh at all... I haven't seen any fansubs of that part, so was it just as funny in the original anime?

I dunno. I'd read it before watching it in, and I found the manga funnier than both the dub and subtitled version. And I do laugh at the DB dub surprisingly often. But there are some jokes that just seem to come across better on the printed page. I know it sounds weird, but the manga just had better...timing.

I laugh at the dub, but it's when I see the word "ROOT" dancing above "BEER". Things like that.

Yes, I agree about the manga being better in that way. Timing, though? I guess that works...

I'd really like some Jiggling underwear. I wonder where they get it...?

Oh, wait. They get it at the FUNimation building. Anyone want to tell me where that is? And is the stuff even available to common people?
