The toxicity of Chichi's fanbase needs to be addressed.

They make fun of people for not liking her.

They give people shit for wanting Goku to be with someone else and thinking he deserves better.

They make people feel bad for not sympathizing with her.

They put high standards on Goku and expect him to be a perfect husband and father with no flaws, but Chichi gets a free pass.

They shit on Goku for not listening to her demands, (even though always he does when he's not busy saving the world) and not finding a job when she doesn't have one either.

They blame Goku for all of Chichi's problems and bad behavior, even though she's been a crazy bitch before she even met him.

They harass people for acknowledging that Chichi is abusive, and try to paint Goku as the abuser when canon suggests otherwise.

They insult people for taking the abuse seriously and saying "it's meant to be a comedy" or "it's just fiction" as if that should automatically dismiss all valid criticism. Imagine if someone tried using those same excuses for Peter and Lois Griffin or any other abusive anime relationship involving a tsundere.

They give Chichi all the credit for being a good mom (she isn't IMO) but ignore all the other better Dragon Ball moms who are actually good parents that don't need to use brute force to scare their children into submission just to get them to do what they want. Bulma, 18, Videl, Gine, Panchy. All of these women are objectively better moms than Chichi could ever be and her fans are jealous of that.

They don't allow any criticism of her. They can't handle it whatsoever.

They act like Chichi is an innocent martyr who can do no wrong and think anyone who says otherwise is a monster. Funny how people will always discuss when the same is being done to Goku, Vegeta, Bulma or Piccolo but Chichi apologists are swept under the rug.

They deny canon proof of Chichi manipulating Gohan into thinking he doesn't like fighting. He was only four years old when he told Bulma he wanted to be an orthopedist or whatever the fuck he said.

They get so mad when people insist that she forced Goku to marry her all because he proposed to her. Ignoring context at it's finest. He only proposed to make her feel better and felt that it was his duty to fulfill a meaningless promise that he didn't even understand. The fact that she faked crying because it seemed like he was about to reject her and then kissed him without his consent, fondled him for the rest of the day until his next fight, all while he's looking confused, scared, disgusted, contempt and uncomfortable at the same time never factored into their minds.

They treats THEMSELVES like oppressed martyrs because someone dared to say something bad about her.

I've have been personally attacked by Chichi fans more times than I can count, and I have seen other Chichi haters get unfair scrutiny and judgement. Yet I see her fanbase acting like THEY'RE the ones being victimized, but I see their fanbase doing more harm to the anti Chichis than the anti Chichis ever do to them. If just ONE Chichi hater says something mean about a Chichi fan, it's treated as generalization rather than an isolated incident. But I never see the other way around. And her fans act high and mighty like they're more sane than the haters just because they like Chichi and others don't.

Shipping goku with a significantly younger lesbian? And transphobic on main?

Black Character Design Poll: Event Rules

I am an avid lover of graphs. I like numbers, I like trends and the absence thereof. I like the mindsets that make people make decisions, I like recognizing the biases, both conscious and unconscious, in sampled populations. I like how you'll always gain some sort of answer, even if it's not the one you expected (it's the scientist in me)! Best of all, I like making people question themselves! So... Why not a poll?

This is going to be a TWO-PART event. The first portion is going to ask the First Question, starting Sunday April 13th and I will stop taking submissions Saturday April 19th. The second portion is going to ask the Second Question, starting Sunday April 20th, and I will stop taking submissions Saturday April 26th.

See below the cut to find out all the details!

The Questions and the Voting Rubric

Tried to make this as simple as possible! Check under the cut for more details!

Im putting this bitch in the dirt

DBZ fans who never watched Dragon Ball don't know that Oolong is a shapeshifter who subjugated an entire town once. Your normal no ki no martial arts ass is not beating him

You can literally beat up Oolong! none of his shapeshifting abilities actually gives him the strength and abilities of the thing he turns into (besdies a rocket giving him rocket speed but it tires him out) AND his shapeshifting only lasts about a minute and he needs 5 minutes to recharge. he's a glorified cosplayer beat his lil piggy ass

The group behind the "Hands Off 2025" protests in the United States is quite literally just a Democrat party front group serving to funnel energy against Trump away from progressive forces and to a pro-NATO, anti-Palestine Democrat movement - it's the typical Democrat strategy of cooptation, but this time without directly associating it with the Democrats, because they are simply too unpopular now for that to work. Here's their about page:

They treat an attack on one as an attack on all - unless Palestine is under attack! Their leadership page lists only these two executive directors:

The purpose of this group is to funnel people and resources into phone banking and canvassing for Democrats, protecting bourgeois rule and serving as another mechanism for subtly repressing the development of progressive groups. It's a way to take highly motivated and politically active people who are dissatisfied with the existing system in the US and funnel them right back into that system, preventing them from joining or starting revolutionary movements.

In an environment saturated with images of black and trans death, it feels unnecessary to review the details of how Brandon Teena, Lisa Lambert, and Phillip DeVine were killed at the hands of John Lotter and Marvin Thomas Nissen in Lambert’s farmhouse in Humboldt, Nebraska, on New Year’s Eve 1993... Most readers are no doubt familiar with the killings through some encounter with their mediations... [Including] Kimberly Peirce’s full-length feature Boys Don’t Cry (1999).
...Put in filmic terms, as its cinematic iterations convey to supreme effect, the Brandon archive has been edited to produce Brandon Teena as a kind of secular martyr, his death consecrated by way of a particular iteration of queer and transgender politics.
Referring to the ethical and aesthetic implications of DeVine’s erasure from the feature film, Jennifer Devere Brody explains that “Boys Don’t Cry is emblematic of the way in which the radical erasure of blackness makes queer stories queerer.”
The absence of DeVine from Peirce’s feature is so complete that, as Shana Agid notes in the longer description of his screen-printed poster “The Disappearance of Phillip DeVine,” DeVine’s name is not even included in the memorial text at the end of Boys Don’t Cry, precipitating a question for the artist: “[W]hat sacrifices are made to construct lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender stories for mass consumption?”
