That... is a good enough excuse to post this. I've never actually listened to Cell's Japanese voice.

That said, I'm biased towards Imperfect Jack/Perfect Toguro's voice..

Ben Jeffrey does a good Dameon Clarke impression, holy sh't, there's barely any difference.

[up] Oh I see how it is, stealin my spotlight with a TFS video in the wrong thread, rainin dishonor and shame upon my ancestors, kay, lets go mang you n me.

Apparently Temple of Trunks was an old Dragonball fansite. Also, Lanipator does a damn good Cell voice as well.

Yeah I feel like most of the other VA's are just following Dameon Clarke's take on the character. I'm fine with him because Cell had that kind of smooth voice in the dub I grew up with, so he fits my image of the character just fine.

Dameon Clarke's Cell was just awesome.

I read the manga first, and I imagined Cell's voice being more synthesized and gender-ambiguous, considering the manga's insistence on referring to Cell as an 'it'.

Cell is very obviously male though, why would he have a gender-ambiguous voice?

Also, Cell being male is kinda weird, knowing Japan. After all, a man creates a humanoid android, first thing he's gonna ask is "How can I fuck it?"

Cell had no feminine characteristics. Ever.

You could almost argue that he had no male characteristics, either, but Imperfect Cell's body is very clearly designed to look male.

It must be the height and the lack of an egg sack.

I wasn't really thinking of character.

Honestly, looking at Cell's body, I never really doubted he was designed with the idea of looking male, and I read his voice as male.

Either way, everyone insisted on referring to Cell with an 'it' in the manga.

That's because it was a bug creature.

The Cell Saga was basically the heroes taking turns trying to kill a giant-butt bug that showed up in their house.

It's mostly made from the DNA of male characters though, unless Bulma is added for intelligence.

I doubt Gero thinks Bulma is smarter than him, and I don't think Gero would put weak-ass human DNA in Cell anyway. Only strong-ass humans allowed.

Also, Cell can identify as a genderfluid demiqueer foxkin mayonnaise for all I care. I'll still call it what it is.

And, yeah, you might want to rephrase that IANCE.

[up][up][up]I don't really care. I don't think what you sexually identify as has any bearing on what your body is.

Sex is binary, it's one or the other, when it comes to the body.

You can call yourself whatever you like. I honestly cannot find it in myself to give a crap either way. Think of it less as your average SJW hater stuff, and more indifferent apathy.

[up]It can be misinterpreted for people who are overly sensitive and get offended over anything. Which there's a lot of in the internet.

... Intersex? Is that when you have both, or is that when you change?

No, it'd have to be both, 'cause when you change it's transexual, ain't it?

Also, is that physical or mental? 'cuz I'm talking physical here.

Intersex means you have components of both sexual organs. Hermaphrodite means you have both of the sexual organs fully formed, which is impossible in humans, hence why the term "hermaphrodite" is kinda offensive to refer to someone who is intersex (and scientifically inaccurate).

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
