[up][up]So calling him an asshole deserving to be killed is not blaming him? Or is Rob not one of us anymore? Is he Zoidberg now?

[up]Shhh, be quiet, not everyone has to know.

He's died three times. It's basically a slap on the wrist.

He deserves to be killed, spend some time sitting on a cloud thinking about the choices that brought him to this point, and then later revived with the Dragon Balls once all is said and done with a newfound understanding of how pointless machismo hurts everyone and helps nobody, as well as a newfound appreciation of his wife.

Bonus points if, while he's sitting on that cloud, the guy who killed him is effortlessly one-shotted by 18.

[up]Well, that won't happen though. Krilin is going to get out of this fight unscathed and 18 will never fight again.

It's very hard for me to get into fanfiction. Something about it just makes me super-critical. I can't read it without seeing the hands of the fan-author moving the pieces and putting words in the characters' mouths. It almost never feels organic to me.

I've heard people complaining about how they can never see CGI as anything but CGI and I imagine it's the same phenomenon: there's just something about the way it interacts with me personally that makes it impossible to suspend disbelief.

I used to blame fanfiction for it and say it's because all fanfiction is shit, but I've since come to understand that it's just not a form of media I can consume.

To be fair, I read a crapton of fanfiction, and I can tell you that yeah, most of it is pretty worthless.

[up][up][up]That's probably what it is for me too; I can acknowledge that there are some good fanfiction out there but the medium itself turns me off.

[up][up]And also that. Even if I wasn't biased against them, I would have found most fanfiction I've read/heard about terrible on their own merit.

[up][up] I can agree with this. Although discovering what sort of asinine shit people can come up with is half the fun, I think.

Damn, I didn't think gender politics in Dragon Ball of all things would get this thread so salty.

Looks like we've got ourselves the series' first widely-agreed Dethroning Moment of Suck, basically.

Not unless they mitigate this in the future. But I'm an optimist, so who knows.

I am not an optimist.

So unless they more than make up for this, I'm quitting this series.

And pretty much any Dragon Ball-related stuff that's not made by TFS.

I suspect the only thing that can calm people's frustration over this development is if the fifth fighter for Beerus's team is revealed to be female.

And actually gets to be useful.

On that note, I checked the page to see if someone put it there, and then I remembered that even glancing at the DMoS pages are physically painful. Same complaints the rest of us have, but with unrestrained venom.

Yes. Darth Wiki is a horrific mess and the only reason it's allowed to exist is to quarantine all that vitriol so it doesn't bleed over onto the main wiki.

[up][up]Yeah, those tend to be terrible.

[up]This probably goes without saying but it's worse the less regarded the show is. Say what you want about Family Guy but it's page there is ridiculous.

I don't really understand quitting over this. It's not like issues like this haven't been present for awhile. I mean, the same thing came up in the movie this is based on, except without the scene with Krillin. Unless it's like straw meets camel's back situation.

I recall seeing Darth Wiki character entries with random fanfiction characters added in the mix once.Weird stuff.
