There are some questions even Shenron can't answer.

I was referring to a white person who identifies as a black person. I have no clue what the technical term is so I made one up.

That's a thing? The closest term I can think of for something like that is potentially offensive itself.

Transracial is hotly debated on whether or not it's a thing. Furries in Dragon Ball would certainly qualify, though.

[up][up]Come to think of it, Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks would be a satirical example.

Is that suppose to be offensive?

The concept doesn't sound like it should be.

I wonder, what planet do the Destruction Brothers come from anyways?

It'd be funny if they were just really strong Neko Majins. tongue

Some people are taking issue with transracial being a thing because: "If all races are equal, why would you want to change?" combined with "All differences between races are just stereotypes anyways" with a massive helping of remembering that blackface was (and, in some places, like Western Europe and Japan, still is) a thing.

My thing is that unlock sex and gender, there isn't (as far as I know) any inborn biological or psychological predispositions to any specific "race" so I'm a bit confused how this could be equated transgendered people. But this is literally my first time hearing about this so what do I know.

[up]Also that. How did this get brought up?

Whether of not furries in Dragon Ball would count as this, given the large animal person population.

...Do most furries actually think they're animals? I don't that's how that works.

It's just about if the animal peeps would be offended, not if the furries believe themselves aminals.

In Dragon Ball Online, the dwindling Anthro population started getting mad at humans for descrimination, so Cyborg Red with the help of some other people and anthros made the Red Pants Army, a rise towards world domination and "equality".

Then the Time Breakers helped out and all Hfil broke loose.

There is no part of that sentence I don't love.

Dragon Ball Online is the best.

I think I heard once that apart from Oolong and King Furry, animal-people don't appear in the Z portion at all, though I wasn't keeping track myself. So either Toriyama forgot them or...

So DBO is canon! tongue

Also, the hell is Puar, Korin, Turtle and so on? They're not anthro, but they do talk.

I noticed that it seems like Mr. Satan's thing about ki and superpowers being fake and cheating also lead to a lot less dinosaur-people in the tournaments.

So.

So racism?

Now that I think about, the DB multiverse has intelligence divided into groups:

  • 1 - Anything that's not an animal (bacteria, protozoa, etc.)
  • 2 - Non-talking animals and animal-like plants
  • 3 - Talking animals, plants (and poop)
  • 4 - Anthos, Humans, Monsters, Aliens, Androids and Robots
  • 5 - Demons and Gods

The Animal People never completely go away but they show up a lot less in crowds shots and the like as the series goes on.

I wonder why King Furry hasn't mentioned the dwindling Anthro population? If I remember correctly, DB's Earth is bigger than our Earth, so it should accommodate for more than one intelligent species. I wonder if it's an inside job...

Dragon Ball's current age, 779, is equivalent to our 2014, so you're off by 2 years.
