[criticaaaaaaaal]

me about to read a shadowpeach fanfic only to notice that its tagged with “wukong is a bad person” or “wukong traumatized macaque” or “wukong hate club” or anything akin to that

#critical watches monkie kid #OK . OK I WILL SAY: #i totally understand evil/dark wukong aus. i get it. i like them. i appreciate them. i understand #and i can see WHY ppl write them. wukong is a character you can make mean easily #and mac is a character a lot of people relate to #and a lot of people really like him (i do too!) #i can see WHY ppl dote on him in fanfics or make him very much a victim of outside things #i see you and i appreciate you #but also i just. man. i feel like people forget that wukong is actually a good person and just want to always write him as this - #one dimensional abuser or something #and again : if you DO want to just write him as that as a fic au or SOMETHING by all means go ahead #no hate here #i think im just. :( i just wanna read a fanfic i guess where wukong isnt this one dimensional monster #if youre gonna make him evil/dark but keep it in line with the original characterizations (esp the ones in monkie kid) at least ......... #idk ......... make it like . make it more then one dimensional? gah #this post is spurred on by the fact i saw a fanfic a lot of shadowpeach ppl were chatting about #and i looked into it (i havent read it. yet. i might) #and it seems to have the same premise of macaque is trying to escape wukong who is a nasty abuser! #and like. ok. im SURE its a lot more than that (i hope) #i jusssssstrttttttt #blaarghhhh

Watched MasakoX's recent video about Goten & Trunks. I find it comical that he claims Toyotaro (the guy who constantly mischaracterizes everyone) is developing the character & personalities of Goten & Trunks.

And he also claimed that Goten & Trunks from the Buu Saga swapped personalities in a way at the End of Z... No they did not. Trunks chilled out as he got older & Goten seemed to be more of himself without always following Trunks. But we didn't see much of them so there isnt much to go off of. MasakoX also said that Toyotaro is probably writing Goten & Trunks the way they are in the recent manga chapters in order to make Toroyama look somewhat competent... What?

Why do ppl call Toriyama incompetent when he was responsible for the last 2 DBS movies? Toriyama only begsn to forget a lot when he was burned out from DB and needed a long break. Broly & Super Hero were not made by an incompetent man. So why do ppl praise Toriyama at one moment then insult him the next? Why do they talk as if Toyotaro is some sort of genius and better writer than Toriyama when Toyo has revealed how little he understands the characters, lore, & series? If you think Toyotaro's writing is better than an "incompetent" Toriyama, then you don't knkw Dragon Ball. Or if you say so, you're just trying to appeal to DBS manga fans.

People like this & others are the ones who are influential in the DB community. Not saying I dislike MasakoX. Because I like his color theory videos & some others that he doesn't do anymore. Instead he mostly does what if stories that are inspired of DBZA more than DB. His perception of characters seems to be skewed from making what if stories where he uses DBZA personalities for the DB characters. So much so that its to the point that he views things that are out of character as in character.

I just dont get why most of the popular DB folks in the community are somewhat or very delusional. Like the ones who claim the humans are weak and every single Saiyan is stronger. Yeah because Bardock and the entire race of Saiyans were effortlessly wipes out by 1st form Freeza, someone Chaozu is on par with. Meaning, Chaozu one shots 99% of all Saiyans with ease. But unreasonable ppl wont accept that and they will push lies that impressionable fans take as truth.

Idk why I watch DB Tubers every now and again. I guess its to see if they progress in a positive way and if they grow. Most haven't. Like how ppl claim Piccolo is black for the dumbest reasons. Krillin is more black than Piccolo and he's Asian. (And I dont need a character to be black in order for me to like them. I'm black and I relate with Krillin more than any other DB character. If Krillin was black, I'd relate with him more tho.) This is also like how fans think Saiyans are white. They aren't. They are Asiatic aliens that turn into giant monkeys. Just because they are blonde does.not make them white. The blonde hair is inspired of how that was a delinquent look in Japan back in the day. Saiyans arent black either simply cause Freeza called them monkeys. They are literal monkeys and Freeza calling them.that is a reference to how Sun Wukong is often called "monkey." Ppl call us monkeys because they are stupid & racist. Freeza called Saiyans monkeys because they literally are and would transform into Oozaru. And Oozaru literally means "Great Monkey." You can relate to these character due to their personalities. Nobody can relate to Saiyans or Namekians based off of race. THEY ARE ALIENS! WE ARE HUMANS!

I'm done... enough ranting... See these characters for what they are. Not what you want them to be. If you do that then 9/10 times, you don't truly like the characters that you claim you like. If you have to drastically change their stories or whatever, you are in love with your ideal version of them & dont love who the character actually is.
