I mean, Goku was also in his Super Saiyan form; at that point he's literally strong enough that he could cause Chi-Chi's head to explode from a finger flick.

Doesn't matter.

They need to realize what they did and the mistake they made before it completely engulfs anything else.

Though it might not help. I don't recall when apologizing on the internet ever helped anything at all.

[up][up] Goku could be emotionally pushed in.

We should probably leave this topic.

[up] Also this.

It's hilarious how much of an echo chamber this thread is.

A complete non-issue everywhere else; but here? You'd swear people were lynching TFS.

A lot of people having the same problem with a scene =/= echo chamber.

At best, they are going to treat it the same way they did as Bulma's dream during namek, a joke they regret, but nothing more. Especially since this is the only place to actually make a big deal out of this.

That's a fair idea. Not remove it but admit it as a bad choice, but one they must not hide.

I mean, Goku can be uncomfortable and not consenting and also not want to hurt Chichi.

And, again, the main idea I think needs to be conveyed on this side of the debate is that "yes means yes". We aren't shown Goku actually consenting. Not even briefly. Especially when paired with his earlier fear and discomfort, it really doesn't come across well.

@Rob: I wish you were better at nuance.

I suppose I do need to practice that.

Anyway, maybe the subject should just be dropped. Hopefully, this won't mess things up too much for TFS.

Dude!

I'm trying to make us look good here!

Ok. Would it help if I said we weren't normally like this on such a touchy subject?

I mean, usually, we're talking about Power Levels or how much they make fun of Yamcha or....most of the same stuff that I complain about GETS BROUGHT UP ON EVERY OTHER DBZ THREAD.

I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, Rob!

Unrelated to that, LOL, have you guys even SEEN Yamcha's Power Level? His power level's so small, it needs a stepladder to look Krillin in the eye.

I really don't know what to make out of the sex scene. The whole set-up and the fact that Goku is still speaking in his child-like voice makes it very uncomfortable, but then again saying that Chi-Chi raped a man who can send her into orbit with a pat on the back might also be questionable. Then again many rapes are not commited under brute force, but by psychological manipulation and pressure especially among spouses which you could say applys here.

I'd be surprised if they didn't work it in somehow, even though filler doesn't get much screen time in DBZA.
