I was a terribly awkward teenager. Fat, bad hair, goth, trench coat, poor social skills... Even then I knew DBZ was terrible and that liking it would be going too far.

There was a later episode of DBZ that was on when I was younger where Vegeta and Goku were inside of Buu or something and they made a joke about butts while my parents were in the room, and so I got banned from watching Toonami for a long time.

gently caress you Dragon Ball Z, keeping me from watching Cowboy Bebop thanks to your dumb American redub jokes. :smith:

The game is okay, but the world is still boring. I think he got everything he could out of it. A pretty decent game that pales in comparison to Souls.

Yeah, pretty much. I watched half an hour of some guy hanging out in space charging up and nothing happened and decided my time could be better spent doing pretty much anything else.

Also everyone in high school was kind of tangentially aware it existed at least, but there were very few people who actually watched any of it beyond that. There was always at least one guy who would talk at length about how awesome it is while everyone else got all quiet and uncomfortable. You were probably that guy, dude.

In middle school the only clique that watched it was the uber-nerds. Like the guys who were in boy scouts until they were 18 and the fat smelly kid who got caught jerking off in the computer lab and came from the family full of registered sex offenders.

Dragonball Z is tripe. Utter tripe. I mean most cartoons are pretty bad when you are an adult but I could happily sit through a few episodes of Batman: The Animated Series or X-men even now. I couldn't watch that lovely Japanese cartoon when I was still in primary school.

Actually, Cowboy Bebop is the only anime that's even close to being watchable. I could sit in a room with normal people and have that one on without feeling like a freak. That's only because the soundtrack is ballin' mind you.

If you hate on dbz you are the biggest stick in the mud. People like dbz cause it was fun watching goku beat up the bad guys back in 4th grade. No one will dispute its poorly paced and dumb, but being all "Hmmph, dragon ball? Bet you were a fat loser with no friends huh dumbass :smuggo:" makes you an insufferable rear end in a top hat

Defending DBZ when you are no longer 7 years old makes you an insufferable loser with no friends. I liked Power Rangers a lot when I was a kid, I don't still think it's a good show and that people who call it lame are big meanies for making fun of a terrible children's show I liked when I was a literal child.

We aren't though? We're saying as 8-10 year olds it was dope as poo poo. Dragonball Z was absolutely made for people under the age of 12.

though I guess Full Metal Alchemist was also made for them and it's 100x better than DBZ so I guess it is just poo poo.

A large number of people watch Fox News. A large number of people think Larry the Cable Guy is hilarious. A large number of people can't do simple math. A large number of people are really stupid. Not everyone is a unique special snowflake who's opinion should be valued and taken as a gospel.

E: Here's a video showing a lot of people's reaction to a commercial. Of course we shouldn't make fun of them, though because if a lot of people like, think, or support something then that thing is right and good.
