Unpopular Opinions

Okay, so this is specific to the Dragon Ball fandom, but...

I hate all this "oh boo hoo I feel bad for Yamcha because Bulma ended up with Vegeta" and "pour one out for my boy Yamcha" and saying that "Bulma is for the streets" and all that nonsense. You know, acting like Yamcha is a victim and Bulma is a terrible person for being with Vegeta instead of Yamcha. It just goes to show that the anime community is filled with incels, because that couldn't be further from the truth.

First of all, Bulma and Yamcha weren't even together when she first hooked up with Vegeta, meaning she didn't cheat. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's canon that Yamcha cheated on Bulma several times, and the reason for their makeup breakup relationship is because Yamcha couldn't stay faithful. Bulma, on the other hand, never cheated on Yamcha and remained faithful for the entire duration of their on again/off again relationship.

And yet Bulma is often viewed as some kind of backstabbing slut in the DB fandom whereas Yamcha is seen as a sympathetic man who got screwed over by an ungrateful jezebel. It's complete baloney and a great example of the gross misogyny that's way too prevalent in "nerdy" fandoms.

True but incels also hate a loudmouth woman, which Bulma is undeniably framed as.

Yes, incels hate a strong, confident woman because it threatens their fragile masculinity. I agree.

I feel more bad that Yamcha didn't end up with Vegeta.

Preaching to the choir. I want Bulma to stomp my balls with high heels.

That may be, but in Pittsburgh they also get drunk during church.

If she can ring a Saiyan's bell just imagine what she can do to you.

Renting is better than ownership if you want to live anywhere desirable unless it's a farm in the mountains or some ****. Equity is a distraction from what is not owned and entraps homeowners in the mortgage industry.

I don't disagree, but how would the middle-class build wealth? Sadly, this is how 80% of the US does this.
