That's what I figured happened. Not even going to ask, but that's unfortunate.

Something about how she behaved in the Doctor Who thread.

Is this a permanent ban?

Well, considering the moderators in the banned thread are kind of ignoring her, it appears it might be.

I mean, her page quite clearly says that she's female, and she has a title that claims that she's everyone's aunt.

I get wanting to inform the others what's going on with her, but it'd probably be best to get rid of that link to the banning discussion thread. We should really be sticking to the topic right now.

Yeah, I've been following that too and it's really sad. I think she's pretty cool.

*ahem*

Um, on topic, the linked reviews reminded me how much I love Piccolo's ultimate argument. Few people will ever win an argument as hard as he did with this point:

  • PICCOLO: Don't tell me it's about the job. You tried to pass it off at the first opportunity! To Goku! He doesn't even look after his kid! I look after his kid!

That's funny but also unfair. Piccolo "looked after" him for six months in which he was mostly beating him to make him stronger. The previous six months he left him alone to fend for himself in the wild.

For the time after Namek he was either not around him when Goku wasn't around or with him when Goku was. And, yes, I know it's a joke. But a lot of people think it's true.

Gohan and Piccolo think it's true, and that's what really counts. Even to this day in Super, they have a bond that can't be broken. Piccolo's even in Gohan's wedding photo right next to Goku and Goten.

And that all started in those early days where Gohan Stockholm'd onto Piccolo during his training and Piccolo gained enough of a father's love for the kid to die for him.

It starts about as far from a healthy relationship as one can get and it doesn't mean Gohan doesn't love his actual father Goku, but it's there nonetheless.

Gohan and Piccolo being super close is not the same thing as Gohan thinking Piccolo has been more of a father to him or something, which is what that joke and most people are implying when they're saying it.

Don't get more wrong, I think the relationship itself was handled (relatively) well and like it.

I don't think Gohan's the kind of person to make that comparison. He loves his father. He loves his surrogate father. He loves his mother and his little brother. He loves his friends and his wife. And he'd probably get really confused if you asked him which one he loves more.

I'm not saying he is.

Edit: It's strikes me as weird that Chichi and Mr. Satan aren't in that photo. Especially Chichi.

  • MR. SATAN: What about me? I'm practically a main character now. Toei loves me!
  • GOHAN: Yeah, but you're also from Videl's side of the family and Toei doesn't really care about her at all. She's basically a life support system for a baby-making vagina now.

I'm pretty sure it's not just Toei that loves him.

Doesn't Toriyama seem to like him as well. He's certainly more prominent than a lot of human characters sans Bulma and Krillin.

Including his own daughter.

Well Mr. Satan is a gag character, and Toriyama is first and foremost a comedic writer.

We were talking about how nobody in the DBZ universe has a last name, but doesn't Tien have one? Is is Tien Shinhan, or Tenshinhan?
