Everything that comes out of my mouth has a point, sis.
I've been watching you post for years, and I dont think this is correct.
That sounds kinda sus, my dude (tte).
Nah, I'm gonna back up Brodes on this one.

Even from just my own more limited experiences with you on here, you seem to go out of your way lots of times to completely miss people's points left and right, totally (seemingly even willfully) ignore blatant and heavily cited facts that people point you directly towards, and just generally contribute points to discussions that are laughably counterfactual and misinformed and that are easily and continuously debunked. Which doesn't seem to deter you much from going on to continue pushing them as if they're fact regardless.

You seem to care less about actual history or accuracy to reality and more about reaffirming made-up narratives that you have some weird, inexplicable kind of emotional investment in. And you seem very adverse to doing any kind of reading or research on anything and seem to be content to just continuously shoot from the hip and say whatever "feel" in your gut is correct to you personally (and often times, it isn't), rather than actually bother to take a few moments to go look it up and confirm it.

I'm going to put this as respectfully and constructively as I can: read more, listen more, and take time to actually think about the things you say and confirm if they're accurate before saying them. And if you're really not sure about something and are having trouble looking it up to confirm an answer, there's no shame in just admitting "Hey guys, I don't know about this thing, can someone help me find a verifiable answer?"

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Trust me, I do my research. I'm well aware obesity used to be considered a desired body type but the fact it no longer is shows society had come to their senses in that regard. I'm also well aware there's a group of people that fetishize that shit but there's also people who fetishize masochism and voreism. Doesn't make that shit any less fucked up.

But any fool can do a little research but a true genius analyzes and can draw their own conclusions.

Now about you, partner. You seem to take a lot of things too literally and tend to go on tangents (part of why your posts are always so long).

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.

So, to get technical, while there's always going to be fetishists for everything people also just like fat people as a matter of course. There's also kinks (i.e. not fetishes) related to stuffing/gaining/et cetera but those don't necessarily indicate 'fetish' because fetishization requires that the subject is only able to become aroused in the presence of that kink. So, to paint it as only a matter of fetish is simply incorrect. Plenty of people have varied tastes.

Anyway, gosh, I sure do hope Toriyama stops making weird comments about women's bodies in his kids' comics and films and learns to become normal.
