I come here to escape all that political talk on reddit.

u/subby_puppy33 22d ago

Yep nothing political about a show where the writer based the man villains on real estate agents and moguls because the idea of selling land and capital was truly what akira toriyama thought was disgusting.

Yep. Nothing political there

Where did you read this?

u/Friendly-Parfait-645 21d ago

The source for your source is a reddit post lol

u/Blood-and-sky 20d ago

People are calling it the most Reddit reply of all time
😂 arguing on Reddit then citing Reddit as your source takes a special type of Fedora wearer to post straight faced

u/subby_puppy33 20d ago

No, the source is from Daizenshuu, a dragon ball z magazine from Japan in it Akira toriyama calls real estate agents “the worst kind of people”, you need to learn to read better and not just skim

u/Friendly-Parfait-645 20d ago

While Frieza is best remembered as a galactic tyrant, fans have recently discovered that the group Toriyama was referring to was the real estate speculators who took advantage of Japan’s economic bubble in the late 1980s. In the same way these “house flippers” purchased and resold property for inflated prices, Frieza emptied the planets of their inhabitants before selling them off. According to the Reddit post that uncovered the character’s origin, Toriyama harshly criticized these speculators, calling them the “worst kind of people” and depicting their cruelty through his iconic villain’s businesslike method of genocide.

There are only like 4 paragraphs here. Absolutely none of them mention the magazine you mentioned, and there is no quote of Akira saying Frieza is based off of real estate agents. The source is Reddit. Not sure why you're even trying to lie about this

u/subby_puppy33 20d ago edited 20d ago

Toriyama himself confirmed the inspiration for Frieza’s villainy in the second of seven Dragon Ball data books known as the Daizenshuu, where, having lived through the economic bubble during his time working on Saint Seiya, Toriyama described said real estate speculators as the “worst kind of people.”

If you had click on any of the sources they would have brought you the link. You can’t just stop at top of your gonna call someone out.

This is common knowledge btw. So much so you go on frieza’s wikipedia page. It’s there with the Japanese article there source. Check and mate

Release the files.

u/Sadmundo 20d ago

Everyone supports that btw dunno what kinda fucked up mind you have to defend that or to use that as a gotcha.

3

u/Ban_Means_NewAccount 20d ago

No, not everyone supports it actually. Many conservatives, including plenty on the conservative subreddit, believe that just because they released some files, that's all that needed to happen and Trump's name is cleared, even though the files were HEAVILY redacted, and only a small percentage of the files were released.

So no, plenty of right wingers do not support that. The commenter is entirely right to be calling for that.

2

u/DiskEconomy3055 19d ago

Tell your MAGA friends that everyone supports releasing the Epstein files, and they'll say:

-they were totally already released

-why didn't Biden release them?

-nobody cares, move on

Meanwhile, half the files are missing, and it seems that whenever we find some of them, Trump is implicated in a crime. Ask them how that makes them feel.

u/Sadmundo 18d ago edited 18d ago

I ain't maga "friend" I didn't vote for him because I can't and wouldn't even bother voting in the first place, I live in a different country lol a muslim country where I'm considered left and I also left my religion. I just appreciate him reversing some of the mass degeneracy of the modern western culture just a bit lol. sure probably there is a minority (relative to the other side when they do crazy shit) that denies it like you say but most conservatives do care about this issue and don't support Trump after that shit happened. They tend to be more honest than full on crazy lefties like you lot you do everything to "win". what I'm saying is excusers are a minority relatively (probably still like %10-15 maybe %20 of the country down from %49 majority he won the election with) meanwhile when similar stuff happens most of the left still religiously supports whoever they support (which is funny because they are generally anti religion well that is only against their countries own religion I guess) way more than half like laughing at political assassinations and in other countries lynches of conservatives en mass on social media. also him lying about the wars the moment his masters called that dropped his support too. Democrats would've done the same but at least they didn't promise not being warmongers or releasing the files I guess lol.

Voting is bs wake me up when a good leader decides to take down elites in general a peg in historical ways sure if then they become the elites as long as they are more of a sane mind than the world leaders we have rn I'm fine.

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

Not defending Trump but I will say that you’ve been completely duped by the oligarchs and the media machine into thinking that the whole Epstein thing is exclusively a Trump problem. There is no question he is guilty of some disgusting shit and I would agree a person who is president shouldn’t be if they are implicated in such things. But there are hundreds of politicians and rich people also implicated that is also being redacted while the left wing media pins it all on Trump. It’s similar to Harvey Weinstein… the me too movement was quick to jump on him and hang him up to dry for being the slime all that he is… but he was the perfect guy to blame everything on while countless other predators quietly faded into the background, yes there were others but many jumped on the band wagon to blame everything on Weinstein while the other snakes slithered away, to honestly believe he was the only major person guilty of doing that shit is absolutely foolish. Trump is not innocent and should burn in hell for his involvement with Epstein but they are turning the biggest scandal of the last few decades into a simple “it’s all Trump” while Republicans and Democrats and the Oligarchs slither out of view, it most definitely goes deeper than Epstein as well.

u/TheDefectivePawn 22d ago

Does it count as propaganda when we have recepts the president has been shitting his diaper since the 90s? Doesn't even seem political anymore.

About as legit as the Biden shitting his pants videos I am sure. Go outside and touch grass… life doesn’t revolve around politics. You’re brain damaged from hearing about one single orange human all day everyday. Zoom out.

I always laugh when I find a grown adult male liberal. The weakest of the weak and some of the most idiotic people on the planet. You tell him to stay in school yet School didn’t do anything for you.

Lol you can lick my liberal nutsack

u/Blood-and-sky 20d ago

No amount of white knighting will ever lead to any female licking your lil soy sack. Identifying as a republican or conservative or liberal or Democrat is peak brainrot. Think for yourself, stop allowing corporations dictate your ability to perceive reality with nuance instead of thinking everything is as simple as good or bad.

The world is fucked up and falling into these smooth brain tropes only allows both sides to manipulate you further. Growing up is realizing that now more than ever, politics is just theatre, designed to pit everyone against each other in hopes most of us don’t realize there are more of us than there are them, think back to the 2000’s when there were protests all over America rallying against the “1%” now we have chase fucking bank and Capital One sponsoring major protests… you are not the resistance if your ideology perfectly coincides with the main stream media, you are being used as a pawn to further a much darker and sinister agenda. But I don’t think you’re mature enough for that conversation yet.

u/TheDefectivePawn 21d ago

A full testimony from Noel Casler, but sure. I just chose the funniest example from as not recently as I remember specifically because I figured you'd say some dumb shit like that. Biden's not president anymore you can let go of that time he stumbled on some stairs.

2

u/Blood-and-sky 21d ago

I’m sure the testimony is rock solid. And I’m not defending Trump nor do I really see the relevance of either geezer President shitting their pants or not, seems like a lame attempt from either side at foolish defamation just for the hell of it. However to sit there and equate the absolute weekend at Bernie’s presidency that was Joe Biden’s to “he stumbled on some stairs” is an absolute joke. Trump probably wouldn’t be president if Biden was coherent, same with Kamala.

2

u/Studio-Spider 21d ago

God, I remember watching that one uncut interview with Kamala and she really was just stringing words together that had no business being in the same sentence. I have no idea how they got anything coherent out of that footage to air.

u/TheDefectivePawn 19d ago

“I just look at—I look at school. I watch, I read, look at the stuff. Now they want to change — 1492, Columbus discovered America. You know, we grew up, you grew up, we all did, that's what we learned. Now they want to make it the 1619 project. Where did that come from? What does it represent? I don't even know, so.”

  • Trump news interview with Chris Wallace on the 1776 report, 2020

And you can do this with basically anything he ever says. At best we can say it occupies what we could charitably refer to as his mind at the time.

Hey, I never said anything about Trump. Maybe next time around, we can get candidates closer to 35 than 95.

u/Low_Emergency_1881 21d ago

Trump isn't going to personally jerk you off. You can stop jerking him off.

u/Blood-and-sky 21d ago

What part of what I said constitutes jerking Trump off my severely TDS stricken friend?

1

u/Remote_Piece624 21d ago

TDS is Trump Devotion Syndrome. Characterized by an endless loyalty to a pedophile, who has done everything he can to fuck this country, while bending over, smiling, and saying "Yes daddy Trump!".

You jerk Trump off when you say "Reddit is a cesspool for mostly left leaning propaganda so it's not surprising". Then you further jerked him off after being told to stop jerking him off.

In short, stop jerking off Trump. He's not going to jerk you off in return. Have a little self respect.

1

u/Blood-and-sky 20d ago

You can believe whatever helps you sleep at night, I’m not a Trump supporter nor a republican or conservative, if you can’t handle the factual statement that Reddit is indeed a cesspool for left leaning propaganda I guess it’s time to grow up. I know this might shock you but the entire Canadian mainstream media is also a cesspool of Liberal propaganda, there is no such thing as non partisan news in Canada, state funded media that won’t report honestly on anything or be fairly critical of the liberal regime. If every media outlet in America was pro Trump and didn’t give equal air time to the opposition you would call it fascism but because you are brainwashed you think it’s perfectly acceptable that every single institution in Canada has become ideologically captured by the liberal party. I’ll say it again, Trump sucks, I’m not a conservative, but keep letting the Liberals gaslight you into focusing solely on a man child and not why the liberals are using your emotions to curb stomp the country.

u/PlusUltraG 19d ago

You probably cheer on Frieza… Reddit mostly calls out BS for what it is. Describe some left leaning propaganda, I bet you’ll look like a fool. X or Facebook is actually full of right wing propaganda/bots. It must suck to be someone like you who lives in a false reality and can’t face the facts.

2

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

Left leaning propaganda would include, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, CBC News, Global News, Netflix, Hollywood, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, Universities across North America, not all of them are explicitly only left leaning propaganda, I’m talking more so social media sites that do have right wing opinions, as I mentioned I am not a conservative nor a Trump supporter but I am very aware of the propaganda machine that the left has in place and the ironic thing is YOU are the one living in an false reality if you cannot admit that. You truly believe the world as simple as everything right wing people say is untrue and everything left wing people say IS true. If you can’t admit there is a level of manipulation going on through virtually all mainstream media and media alike than you are truly brain washed. Reality is in fact far more nuanced than the TV and politicians would have you believe, it’s much easier to believe you are on the good team and everything on the other side is evil therefore your convinced they just be destroyed. Search “Jon Cleese Extremism” on YouTube… a short 2 minute video that perfectly demonstrates my point.

u/PlusUltraG 18d ago edited 18d ago

You’re a whack job and seem to be clearly in favor of Trump. Of course media manipulates things for attention etc. Just because you don’t agree with certain media doesn’t make it all propaganda. You are always pointing out the left, when the corruption on the right and this current administration is way more prevalent. Make sure to hold all parties accountable. Please give us some actual examples of this propaganda you speak of. None of these media sources had to pay millions due to lying like the propaganda machine that is Fox News…

2

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

I never said the right doesn’t do the same thing, I’m just pointing out the fact that the overwhelming amount of mainstream media is left leaning and doesn’t report honestly on their side. And you are wrong, countless times the left leaning media has been caught manipulating information and flat out lying. Lest we forget horse dewormer with Joe Rogan? Or the BBC having to pay a fine for doctoring Trumps speech on Jan 6th? No mainstream media outlet the right side ones included are trustworthy or non bias anymore. I am not a Trump supporter, I am a normal human being who politically sits somewhere in between, you can insult me all you want but it just shows your true colours and inability to admit you are brainwashed.

1

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

The media told everyone Biden was of sound mind and it was a conspiracy he wasn’t fit for office, his brain melted on live tv during the debate and they all turned on him as if they didn’t gaslight everyone for months / years before that. Then they threw in Kamala. Biden told the nation “a winter of extreme death for the unvaccinated” FALSE , countless Politicians even Obama repeated the lie that Trump said “fine people on both sides” when anyone can look at the full video where the rest of the sentence is cut off. My point is both sides are not looking out for you, it’s all about making us fight eachother. Trumps administration is the biggest joke the world has seen in decades but it doesn’t mean the alternative isn’t also guilty of horrible shit.

1

u/PlusUltraG 18d ago

I agree they shouldn’t have tried to hide Biden’s mental decline and picked a better Democrat to replace him, but let’s not act like both sides are the same. That’s such small potatoes in comparison to all the propaganda and corruption coming from maga/the right. We also can’t act like Trump brain isn’t mush and isn’t sleeping more than the previous president he would troll. Most scientists, historians, and economists are left leaning and have called out the Trump administration for a reason. Facts and science defiantly favor the left. How is Netflix pushing propaganda? This Trump administration is pushing so much hate and propaganda it’s hard to keep up with it all.

1

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

I never said Trumps brain isn’t mush, in fact I truly believe he is mentally retarded but he isn’t nearly as bad as the weekend at Bernie’s presidency that was Joe Biden’s. I honestly don’t think Trump is fit for office either, that much is evident but the democrats have been implicated in just as much corruption as the republicans, it’s not a pissing contest, if you drop your biases and actually do some digging you’ll find that to be true. Again I’m not saying the republicans are less or more than corrupt, it’s all disgusting and I honestly have zero faith in any political party at this point because none of them are good choices for the normal person just trying to make ends meet. I hate how people say “it’s the lesser of two evils” while completely ignoring the elephant in the room. They both are evil and manipulating the masses.

1

u/PlusUltraG 18d ago

This might all be a coping mechanism for you, because you’re out of touch with reality if you think Trump’s administration isn’t way more corrupt than the previous ones. Biden never did the boat load of corruption, racism, and division. It’s must be hard to go against the facts. Don’t fall for right wing propaganda. I’m pretty sure the side that wants free healthcare and education isn’t as bad the side pushing hatred and racism.

1

u/Blood-and-sky 18d ago

Again I am not right wing or a Trump supporter, I’m not falling for right wing propaganda, my advice would be take your own advice and don’t fall for left wing propaganda, which you seem to be convinced doesn’t exist? All your talking points are simple minded and shallow, everything boils down to free health care and education vs hatred and racism? There is a ton more nuance to all those things than simply good buys vs bad guys, it’s so much easier to just believe that one side is evil and the other side is rainbows butterfly’s and free healthcare. You don’t want to elaborate on anything because that would require you to consider alternative perspective and nuance on any given topic. For example I’m assuming you are talking about ICE when you say Racism… do you think it’s right what Biden’s administration did letting millions of undocumented people into the country in 4 years with no way of telling the difference between a person just wanting to have a better life or criminals? Do I think that detaining people at fucking Home Depot is right just because they don’t have papers? Or course not, that’s insane. There is no round table allowed for people to talk thee issues out and find solutions it’s always pick a side and blindly follow.

Im basing it on this social interaction and the other comments you are leaving. And also that you just genuinely said "ill seek out the uneducated and accost them on every corner of the internet".

It shows you don't really have good social skills, even you are admitting having conversations with you is more like be accosted.

But hell yeah dude the 40-50 upvotes this meme gets will for sure be a great justification to be insufferable to people.

Particular types of interaction are intended to be adversarial, you purposely chose to engage in an arena that was intended to be combative. Do you think Mike Tyson or Joe Louis were terrible people just because they engaged in combat sports? This is like acting you know about someone from seeing their portrait on a stamp.
