But, I'm almost 40 episodes in, and so far I've seen multiple instances of (12 year old?) dong, and some kinda racist portraits of African Americans.

Sephiroth C Ryu 01/11/21 1:12:27 AM #41:	In response to OP: So what? It was a different culture then, on top of being a DIFFERENT culture from your own to begin with. I don't think I need to assume this latter part as you are literally unaware of this and still speaking in clear English. Cultural differences are a thing (specifically, that Japan until comparatively recently thought much less negatively about nudity). As for racial stuff? Japan even now is a fairly xenophobic place. And were so for basically the past 100+ years. They are not unwilling to imagine a foreigner type character in a good role, mind you, they just have some... difficulty in disposing of generation-old stereotypes they lift from other nations, since they look easy to draw, funny, and they don't really get why other nations needed to actually get rid of them (at the time they animated Dragon Ball anyway). . --- I am the Hunter of Topics.

PoundGarden 01/11/21 1:26:48 AM #43:	Fuck me I hate anime, its all basically the same. Never watched Dragonball but let me see if I can guess the characters: 1 - Stupid but lovable guy 2 - Food obsessed/fat guy (may also be combined with "stupid guy") 3 - Asshole guy 4 - Badass guy that barely talks 5 - Horny guy 6 - Super powerful kid who needs to unlock his TRUE POTENTIAL 7 - A girl or two to perv on, may end up with Horny Guy It's just soooooo cringe --- "You go.

To them, there's nothing perverted about kids being nude, so there's nothing wrong with drawing them naked that way. As for the racist caricatures, Japan hasn't come that far <_< Here's Sister Krone, a character from a 2016 manga/2020 anime. https://i.imgur.com/nLNG9AQ.jpg This character looks like they would fit right in with the boondocks cast honestly. <cite>RustyFerret posted [p:949367422] in Watching D...
