Could Dragon Ball Super Depict Violence Toward a Female Character?

Post by Krillin1994 » Mon Aug 15, 2016 8:03 pm

I'm posting this because I'm curious about whether people think that a modern day anime like Dragonball Super could depict some heavy violence towards a female such as Videl vs Spopovich in DBZ.

the only anime I really have to compare it to is One Piece and that generally doesn't have women get physically beaten up too violently.

Is hard violence towards women a thing of the past in Shonen anime now?

If we REALLY want equality both men and women should be able to get their faces beaten in.

Pffft, it's 2016, we warped the definition fo equality a while ago! Now it's just the posatives without any of the negatives that come with it.

Even though I'm fully for equal beatings, this thread feels... Weird? :D

Though more a violent scene like Videl's beatdown will not happen in Super, that is way to graphic for Super now a days. So, any beatdown won't be that graphic. Especially since there are no female fighters in the show that would be in the line of fire at the moment. But the mutiberse tournament could offer some more female fighters, but I doubt any beatdown will be that bad. Funny thing is, if Dragonball Z had been made in the past few years, the internet would of gone insane with anger over that Videl scene.

It was more me wondering whether the anime standards towards this have changed not unlike the levels of blood (or lack of) we see in Super.

Anime standards havn't changed, it's just that Dragonball Super is more toned down then Z when it comes to violence against anyone.

The only way for this to happen would be Super to have an active female fighter, but I don't see any coming in the near future. :think:

Universal tournament could offer some, or it'll just be filled with genderless fighters and boys that you swear are girls.

Damn straight. The only thing dragonball does that I want fixed is a lack of female fighters. It's hard for them to keep anyone but goku usefull so...idk....

I can see maybe Vados getting beat up by some super beating, just to make fans grab their pillows and scream NNOOOOO! MY WAIFU!!!!!!

Well, if we count the video games we do have Towa and the Supream Kai of Time... Speaking of that, make SKOT canon, now that will be the ultimate cry of ''MY WAIFU!!!!!"

What I really hope is that Super gets Pan right. So far I've liked how she's been shown, even if she is just a baby. lol

Japan doesn't care about American and Western European political correctness so yes, it can happen and probably does but I doubt it will in Super cause like Kanassa said, it's toned down compared to Z so we probably won't even see someone like Vegeta get beaten up like that.

It will be interesting to see how the SJWs react to Vedil getting beat up when Kai airs on Toonami.

A storms brewing, with rains of entitled tears and winds of shelted rage...

Also, I just thought of somthing... Havn't a lot of Dragonball characters been genderless?

Do people have her as a waifu? If I ever had a waifu in dragonball (not that I have one at all) it'd be zangya. I guess there's that whole loli thing people have.
I think towa is hotter anyways. More likely to be made into a pillow. And isn't it a pre requisite to be a pillow to be a waifu?

I'm pretty sure that SKOT doesn't count as a loli, she doesn't look more child-like, she's just short. Still, I think she is atually a pretty entertaining character.

I think she looks young and kawaii try hard, and fail for me. I don't like her, but that's just me. I've seen people want her to be playable...odd they make the model but don't add her in. it' be easy. Typical dbz rooster stupidity.....

Meh, I don't see it. To me she just seems to be a small adult, maybe I've just not been meeting the right children.... THat sounded wrong on so many levels :D

They don't have Demigra either and he already has a move set.

Yeah the roosters are dumb. Whoever chooses them needs a lobotomy.

And she's ancient so if either one of us is right, it'd be you.
