Random Thoughts (observations)
"You" is general "you" on this page and not to a specific person.
I'm not putting "in my opinion" behind anything because that should be obvious.
I refuse to argue with anyone (especially strangers) over anything on this page.
My options shouldn't be limited due to race, gender, nationality or orientation.
People say good always wins but that's only true in fiction.
Raditz was not a weak character when he showed up. When he showed up, he was able to keep up with the Earth's strongest. He only lost because Kakarot held him. He easily dodged that same attack earlier.
Sometimes in fiction the characters seem unchangable. But usually that's just bad writing.
Just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn't mean they're lying or trying to be different. Not everyone has to think like you.
But nothing wrong with being different.
Nothing wrong with being "basic."
Nothing wrong with preferences in dating. There is plenty wrong with harassment of people who don't fit your preference.
Many people overrate their importance to strangers.
Too many people live thier lives based on others opinons.
Just because you haven't seen or experienced something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I didn't get into the Japanese language for anime. I got into anime because it was a cheap option to watch shows in Japanese.
I don't support someone just because we happen to be born in some of the same groups.
It's possible to love someone in every way except romantic and/or sexual.
It would be a boring world to me if everyone had the same likes, dislikes, beliefs, preferences, thoughts, etc.
I play Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 but I no longer watch the show it's based on. I like going on missions with Raditz.
The Russian language is one of the most beautiful languages in the world.
I hope there will one day be a Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 where Saiyans have movable tails and great ape forms.
Immortality is not inherently evil.
Reasons against immortality are mostly subjective.
Sometimes it is best to do something yourself if you can instead of waiting or demanding that someone else does it for you.
I go after who or what I want and not who or what others think I should want.
Liking a fictional character doesn't mean I agree with their values.
Liking fiction doesn't mean I agree with the overall message of the series. Sometimes I like to see how other people think.
I want the original Dragon Ball to be included and playable if there is a Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. I want to fight Piccolo Daimao.
All the things people claim to do by getting up early are the things I do when I stay up late.
Anything is possible in fiction. Maybe one day "reality" will be the same.
My favorite races in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 are Saiyans and Namekians. I made a Frieza Clan profile to try out a race I didn't (and still don't) like.
It would be nice in the Dragon Ball world if they could rebuild the Saiyan race but it's impossible as they are functionally extinct.
I don't live by the all or nothing mentality.
There is a 50% chance or higher that I would be a villain if I were an anime character. It depends on the show and how they treated my faves.
I know I could marry and stay with one person for over 50 years or more. Cheating is such a waste of time and I'd rather do those things with one person than with many.
Most arguments against bringing back Raditz could be used against characters that have been brought back. A lot of those characters have "served their purpose" too but they're still alive.
In this "reality" plenty of people are subjectively considered useless. Some people just exist. I don't get why every character in a story has to have a purpose besides existing.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, I have made so many wishes to Shenron that the first thing he says when I summon him is "you again." I got Majin Buu and his family of 6 children to feed.
Trilingual isn't impressive to some people but it is to me.
Women are not all the same.
I used to like the Pokémon video games over the anime. But now I like both. I used to like the Dragon Ball anime over the video games. Now I like the games but not the anime.
A big downside to some of my favorite shows is it seems like they will never end.
Earth is a prison planet for me.
This planet would be so much better for me if more people would speak for themselves when it came to their opinion instead of dragging everybody with them.
It would also be better if more people would stop acting as if members of any given group will be the same in anything.
I think having kids is a wonderful goal but at the moment I don't think it's one I will pursue.
Love motivates many people to change but hate can also act as motivation.
Why is it realistic to expect the worst but delusional to expect the best?
Immortality is not always a curse.
Control is often disguised as concern.
The only social media I now use is YouTube. That's only because I post videos in Italian, Japanese & Russian. I also watch videos in those languages. Plus they have good recipes and music.
Generalists and specialists are needed.
My confront character is Frieza. I never liked him and never will.
Linus is my favorite Stardew Valley character. I like that he knows how he wants to live and lives it even if other people disagree with him.
"8 billion people and you chose this one" So? People aren't interchangeable. The amount of other people doesn't matter to me. I'm going after the love of my life instead of settling for one of those 8 billion.Plus I knew about those 8 billion and I still chose who I want.
It will never be right to me that my favorite character never got to come back to life but the people who mistreated him are alive and popular in the fandom.
Raditz doesn't have to look like his sibling to be related to him. The whole siblings not looking alike was a thing back in the original Dragon Ball.
I can pick and choose.
I do think some writers force certain things in their stories but not out of malicious intent. It's to keep the story interesting for the fans.
"Describe your guys background poorly?" Real estate agent tries to recruit younger brother into the family business by any means.
Who I interact with is entirely up to me.
Free my man Raditz (from Hell). Yeah he did everything he's accused of and probably more but free him anyway.
I will never understand celebrity/idol worship.
Money would solve all of my problems and yes they are problems. All of my problems are money related. Something doesn't have to be a problem for you in order for it to be a problem for others.
A villain doesn't have to be a villain in every interaction. Villains can make for good partners because many can treat their loved one differently than they do an enemy.
Raditz's name is just Raditz, not son Raditz. Son Goku is Kakarot's adopted name.
Events in stories aren't fixed events. I'm sure the average writer knows not to write scenes for a specific character if that character is no longer around in the story.
Some people really do lack empathy (or low levels of it) and that doesn't make them an awful person.
Thinking people should live their lives freely without harming others isn't harming anyone. What's harmful is deciding that only the "normal" people should be able to post their likes/dislikes & interests. The internet isn't just for "normal" people. No one who isn't harming others should have to hide themselves.
Blocking isn't always due to insecurity. It could be you or your content. Also blocking doesn't stop you from having a different opinion or shipping with anyone you like. It just removes that person from that situation. Sometimes I block people based on whether I'd be okay with them interacting with me. You are not entitled to an audience. People should be there out of choice.
The mistreatment and permanent death of Raditz completely ruined Dragon Ball anime/manga for me. I only play Xenoverse 2 because he's alive in it. I gave up on the anime/manga completely. He's the one who brought to light the Saiyan race and revealed Kakarot's race. Raditz should have been the one to tell his younger brother about their family. It shouldn't have been Vegeta who looked down on Kakarot. It should have been his older brother Raditz. If it was up to me then Raditz would have been brought back when Kakarot was brought back.
Before I started my relationship with Raditz I started a game called FighterZ. Raditz isn't in it and I'm glad he isn't. I had already uploaded and added to my website lots of videos. I had to make a choice in editing my website a lot to remove all traces from my site & YouTube channel. Or simply finish up the one arc in my other three languages. I have chosen to finish up that one arc that I had done in Japanese. Because of YouTube deciding I'm a threat, I can only upload ten videos a day. So I have 17 more upload times and I'm free of that game. From then on I will not use anything Dragon Ball related that he's not alive in. Hopefully one day I'll reject everything Dragon Ball related when I get more games I can add him to.
Raditz deserved so much better than what he got from his source Dragon Ball. He was discarded and not used well. He had potential and there were far better ways to use him in the story. He has more importance than just being related to the main character. It is important but it's not the most important part to me.
I never thought I would say this but I don't want Raditz to return to Dragon Ball. I also don't him to remain dead and to learn about him through flashbacks. I want him alive and what I want is the rights to Raditz. Dragon Ball will never treat him right to me. I want to make him the main character in his own anime, video games and much more. And I want to create merchandise of him. None of the canon Dragon Ball characters would be there. He deserves a better source & fandom. And I would give him that.
I don't want the rights to Raditz because of shippers. I want the rights so I can be immune to lawsuits.
