to the point that they’ve essentially become ascended memes

The problem with this conversation is that I think a lot of people view this question through the lens of DBZ Abridged, which really ramped up the whole “Goku bad dad/Piccolo Good Dad jokes to the point that they’ve essentially become ascended memes that even the official anime/manga sometimes makes similar jokes. …

I appreciate the different viewpoint but hard disagree. Goku is a bad dad who commits to his kids lives when their interests align with his own. Even in the examples that you give, he only pays attention to Gohan and Goten when martial arts are involved. This is a theme in his life. He only pays attention period to…

So what you’re saying is that my dad will come back some day, and those cigarettes were really hard to find.

Why are we trying to make Goku a “Good Dad”?

I do not think Goku was a great dad by any means.

However, while what you said is true, I think it is definitely more applicable to human parents. Even though Goku wasn’t brought up in Saiyan culture, he seems to instinctively embrace the thirst for challenge and improvement. If Gohan was a pureblood, it probably…

Counterpoint: good parents don’t put their kids in harm’s way, time and time again, from a young age. He’s continuously leaving his wife and child to train. There’s a bunch more but this is cherry picking at best, and even what you cherry pick isn’t what I would want out of my father lol

I don’t think so. Bungie is no stranger to recasting its actors when it needs to. Ikora’s actor Gina Torres was replaced with Mara Junot, and even in Cayde’s penultimate appearance, Nathan Fillion was replaced with Nolan North. So really, as of Lance’s death, none of the Vanguard are played by their original actors. I…

making them available to play

I’m just one Indian person and obviously people disagree but I don’t really see it that way. It’s kind of neat that people from a different culture embrace a Bollywood movie and dance enough to learn and replicate it themselves. I can understand why Indian dancers are upset about not having an opportunity where they…

There’s no stopping people from expressing their opinions. But we can judge those opinions, such as ‘the people dancing on stage didn’t look like the people that danced in the movie and that’s not just racist but OVERWHELMING RACISM’. And we can find them to be stupid and subsequently ignore them, as I hope the…

trump was so bad he broke the white people here too

Canada is supposed to be The Good Place

Yet another article around “outrage” created by two people’s posts on Instagram or Twitter.

I gotta share this story. Last night at work I witnessed overwhelming racism:

I was on lunch and it was shift change mid-blizzard (Ontario’s having some interesting weather rn). One of the two cashiers went on break. The only cashier on was a young Black girl. So this older female customer goes to her line and actually…

When you consider that Indians are Asians it becomes even more jarring that this years show is specifically getting criticized after Everything Everywhere was celebrated SO heavily.

Hollywood awarded 2 asian actors and a movie that represents asian-american culture with 7 oscars.

Wonder how much trawling of the internet it took to find somebody who didn’t like the fun dance number cos something something racism? Gotta generate that content and engagement somehow, even if it makes American Liberalism look utterly histrionic.

How do games like this, Gardenscapes or any game that has that (somewhat cool looking) gameplay of puzzles that cause the character to fall into spikes or lava get away with misleading from the actual gameplay?  I’d think there would be long established laws of false advertising.  

Sometimes  people have underlying conditions they don’t even know about and it just happens to create a set of circumstances where something happens.
