I quoted the same damn thing, like, three times over the last few months. I hate how just because some lame-ass newbie magazine prints it AGAIN, it's suddenly NEW news.

Bitter!

You quoted who in the what now?

Let's face it, nothing is true until some "cool" mainstream news source says it is.

My apologies EX, and I'm well aware that you quoted it originally. I wasn't trying to offend you. I was only posting it to show that even a "lame-ass newbie magazine", which by the way I agree with your assessment of them, is now reporting it. And that hopefully this will stop the rest of the idiots out there that continue to keep the rumour going. That's the only reason I posted it. It was not meant to insult you in any way EX. If you want go ahead and remove this thread if you wish. Again my apologies.

Oh okay, sorry for assuming. The last thing I'd wanted to do was make you look bad or tick you off. My fault again. :roll: And I don't blame you for being mad at fandom in general. I feel that way a lot myself.

I dont know if you were being serious, but the average dbz fan is a 12 year old who believes anything Funimation tells them. Those people piss me off. I see them at Suncoast all the time. Ugg.... dont get me started on that

My one and only encounter with a 12 year old DBZ Fan was also at a Suncoast, but mine was a good experience. :D The kid actually knew what he talking about. Sadly though, they are few and far between.

<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

I've met kids who weren't stupid about DBZ at all. I've met adult fans that were. It just depends I guess.

A lot of my closest friends love DBZ. People our age who still consider DBZ one of their favorite series are an outnumbered group.

Too many fanboys need to die.
