I find the 17 thing to be more hilarious than anything else.
The sole survivor of a multiversal tournament isn't Goku, nor is it Vegeta, nor Gohan, or even Frieza.
It's goddamn Android 17.
This song needs more love.Yeesh. The jumps in power sure are ridiculous.

One Strip! One Strip!@PMC: TLDR: You're not wrong to read their interactions as romantic, but don't expect them to say it outright in the show because the homophobia of the creators leads to them writing it as "they're not gay, just really really really good friends". Basically there's no point in thinking of it in terms of Official Couple because this is really something where you have to divorce the (bad) intentions of the creators from the (gay) events on-screen.
i'm sorry, was that ever brought up in the show? every time i think about the possibility that someone could have possibly suggested it, much less wrote it into canon, that i get irrationally angry to the point that i pass out

"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-MaeGine isn't inherently bad, I just don't like the idea of Goku having good parents.
This song needs more love.It's just hard, for me, to tell whether Kale and Caulifla's relationship is yuribait or if it's just Dragon Ball writing romance the way it normally does. I'm not saying the yuribait argument isn't valid, it is, I'm listening. It's just that Dragon Ball's such a weird series in the way that it writes romance that it very easily could not be yuribait. I could see it going either way, though I want it to make it explicit that they're in a romantic relationship.
Have a filler episode where Caulifla invites Goku to her and Kale's wedding, that would be fun, and it would be a good way to see more of the U6 Saiyans.
I mean, this conversation started with you saying they were definitely, indisputably in a romantic relationship. It really didn't seem like you were listening to others, because "make it explicit they're in a romantic relationship" has basically been what everyone else has been saying. And that if it isn't made explicit, you shouldn't assume that they are in one, because that's just how these things usually work.
It's not good but it's how it is. Dragon Ball was never really the most progressive work to begin with. Also what
said, about things not existing in a vacuum.

Bardock is a bad person even if Minus didn't dwell on it.
The Saiyans under Freeza were all going out and genociding planets so they could be resold (TO WHOM?)
Gine didn't have a problem with the work. Just couldn't personally do it.
Goku's parents were only 'good' comparatively

No, the difference is that there is no denying what those relationships are. They're acknowledged, not toyed around with subtext or gestures that can also be toyed around with as romantic or not.
We know definitively, that Krillin and 18, Gohan and Videl, etc, have romantic feelings for one another. You cannot say that about Kale and Caulifla, and that's very likely intentional. That's a part of the sociopolitical context, and you can't just remove it.
Kale and Caulifla don't have to be married to be acknowledged, Yamcha and Bulma were never married after all.

I do still hold to what I've been saying for a while - a lot of the TOP's problems would be fixed if the stakes weren't so gigantic.
