Dragon Ball Super Episode 6 Discussion

I don't know if it's because we're spending more time with him in this series than we did in the movie, but Beerus is starting to get on my nerves. -

Gman hated the first Broly movie. Only one I've ever seen, but I liked it. And didn't Vegeta fear Frieza and the Ginyu Squad? -

Official U.E. Aquarium & Fishkeeping Discussion Thread

Published on Feb 5, 2017 Things are finally back in order now. My water parameters finally tested good today. Sadly, I lost four fish in the space of a week and a half to an ammonia spike and possible bacterial infection in one of the fish - the Bosemani. I also lost the female Peacock Gudgeon, my Emerald Rainbow, and my Yellow Rainbow. I was attached to them, of course. I had the Bosemani for years. He would hide so he wouldn't have to deal with the Rainbowfish school "politics", haha. The Emerald was nice. Had him for many months and he was well on his way to having his full colors. I had looked forward to having a Peacock Gudgeon pair again for years. I have to wait a week or two and make sure my tank is stable, then I can add some new fish to replace the ones I lost. Of course, all three Rainbowfish will take a year to get up to full coloration, and I'll always miss the originals I had. The Emerald was bluish-green with fins that went from silver to light blue to deep blue to light blue to silver to red, and was getting more and more of the bluish green filling in on the body. He'd follow my finger all over the place. The Yellow was new and already quite colorful. As mentioned, the Bosemani was over 3 years old and basically at full color, but not full size. Rainbowfish live a good 6-10 years and get huge and very broad and tall, in the males at least, topping out around 4-5 inches. These were all around 2-3 inches. -

My brain put an 'and' in there. Anyway, to do what you've requested, I'd probably have to get someone to custom make me figures comprised of fish-safe material and paint.

Did anyone else ever see Luke Skywalker as gay?
ben0119 replied to ben0119's topic in Movies & Television
Yeah you're right. He's probably asexual, or at least became that way later on. Like I said, I had to concept of asexual even being a thing back then. He had to have at least conceived with somebody, since I can't see any reason for Luke to have a woman have a turkey baster baby, besides to carry on the Skywalker line, and I doubt he's that insistent upon that, given the Skywalkers' tendency to get easily seduced to the Dark Side. Do you think they'll make Mara Jade canon, though? The relationship could have been damaged by what happened with the Luke's New Jedi Order, though. Who knows. -

Controversial to whom? How many people are still homophobic in this day and age? The old people who didn't become more evolved and accepting with their beliefs about minorities and gays, etc are slowly dying off, and even younger people who once held the same beliefs are coming around. Hell, I used to believe that marriage was between a man and a woman only, a Holy tenant where God is involved, and gay marriage served no purpose biologically because gay people can't reproduce through natural means. Actually, scratch that, after two bi girl friends of mine betrayed me, I switched my stance due to my rage at them and spite, and I no longer liked lesbian porn and distrusted bi women for years, including Angel when I first learned she was bi. Obviously, as I thought about it as time slowly passed and I eventually put those people out of my mind (from the early 2000s, met them on the boards), I went back to my original stance of supporting gay marriage and their right to adopt, especially since orphans need all the parents they can get, and gay people would probably try extra hard to be good parents since they can't have kids by accident and must make a conscious decision and go to some effort to have kids, and would want to show a good example to the majority population, lest they make it look like gay people make bad parents and shouldn't be trusted with kids, etc etc. Even Bill O'reilly supported this. He's a talentless hack who sucks without guests and a teleprompter, though. I listened to his radio show for a while and it's pretty blah - a total borefest, and his young female cohost doesn't bail him about much in these facts. Paramount also ignored and disrespected George Takei's wishes regarding the character and pissed him the hell off. Sulu is also straight in the Mirror Universe, and since it doesn't seem to invert sexuality in any other characters (Kirk and Uhura, for example), Sulu would likely not be gay in the main universe, despite him never having any onscreen relationships of any kind. And what Nero did wouldn't affect characters' sexuality, since people are born that way and don't "become" that way. -

Luke appears gay (or at least asexual, again, no concept of that years ago for me) due to the evidence and the apparent way Luke behaves. He's also made some tweets to the fact, teasing it, and told people who write him to see Luke however they want to see him. I mean, it would be nice for young gay people (not you, because keh!) to have a gay character to identify with in the Star Wars Universe besides Ziro the Hutt*,- -and it doesn't get much better than the main hero of the original trilogy and "Obi-wan of the Sequel Trilogy,.", Luke Skywalker. JJ and Lucasfilm have been signaling the extreme likelihood of there being a gay character in The Last Jedi (there's already some in the new canon books and comics). Will they actually reveal Luke as gay or bi? Probably not, if Lucas always envisioned the character as straight. We don't want another Sulu incident on our hands. Though, to be fair, this time it looks like the actor portraying the character would be open to the idea if not supportive of it, unlike George Takei, so maybe... Not sure about Lucas himself, though. But, if that doesn't happen (and maybe not because as well it would be a huge sea change for a long-known beloved character), I can see a new character being introduced as gay or bi. There's going to be an Asian girl, and a character that's likely Poe Dameron's father, among others, introduced in the new movie. And hopefully Lando will show up. He's gotta' at least be at Han's funeral! And we know it can still happen, because Episode VIII is going to be the first Star Wars movie with no time gap in between films, picking up right where VII left off. Unsure how they will start, though, since it Star Wars always starts with a space shot. Maybe start above the planet and zoom down Google Earth style to the island with Luke and Rey? Could be pretty epic. *Hutts can be male or female and have the ability to choose their own gender, though most choose to be male. ...Some Cracked writer actually said they are the trans people of the Star Wars Universe. : -
Remember the sacrifices that JoJo made for all of us to make our lives better! > I sadly can't drink due to one of my bi-polar medications! D:

To Mochi, anyone who isn't bending the opposite sex over a barrel onscreen is "Gay."

You really have mellowed and gone soft.

How do you know this?

No they don't. Again, Dende had no concept of gender. Piccolo thinks the whole romance thing is just whack. Namekians are agender or bigender, in either case, there's only one gender, and therefore none, effectively. This wouldn't make them "Gay" even if they were attracted to each other, as there would be no "straight." They are capable of reproducing asexually. So, I guess if you are into manpreg and egg-laying porn (or Kami forbid if there's some fusion of that out there), Namekians are the thing for you. Otherwise... Now that I think about it, can't recall stumbling upon any egg-laying porn where the eggs come out of somebodies mouth. What the FUCK is up with that shit, anyway? People are weird. ANYWAY. Yes, that's due to the evidence and the apparent way Luke behaves. He's also made some tweets to the fact, teasing it, and told people who write him to see Luke however they want to see him. I mean, it would be nice for young gay people (not you, because keh!) to have a gay character to identify with in the Star Wars Universe besides Ziro the Hutt*,- -and it doesn't get much better than the main hero of the original trilogy and "Obi-wan of the Sequel Trilogy,.", Luke Skywalker.

Could be pretty epic. ANYWAY, I've gone off on a tangent. Imma copy this into a different thread. In any case, point is, Namekians are slug people and therefore have no gender and can reproduce asexually, have no concept of romantic love or sex, and therefore are not "Gay." End of discussion. *Hutts can be male or female and have the ability to choose their own gender, though most choose to be male. ...Some Cracked writer actually said they are the trans people of the Star Wars Universe. :

I was being serious with that comment. That's how horrible they are as "comedians;" their obnoxious opening disclaimer jingle is viewer repellent. You get one first impression, and they blew it. Plus none of their famous jokes are even that funny. The Frieza ONE MILLION thing is way funnier than OVER NINE THOUSAND anyway. Bleh.

He probably head-canon'd it, like he did all the male human and Saiyan characters being bi. > They're supposed to be best friends. The fact Mochi would "Gay" ship two children to get his jollies off is sick.
-
Dende didn't know what genders were. "He" is the default genderless pronoun in English. They'd probably answer to anything deemed appropriate in the language of the planet they were living on. They can reproduce asexually by spitting eggs out of their mouth. Are the dinosaurs King Piccolo coughed up "Gay" too? > Grand Elder was the "father" of all of the current Namekians. Piccolo and other Namekians have no concept of romantic love or sex, etc. They care about each other as family, but that's it. They probably don't even have genitalia we would recognize, and they're based on fucking slugs! God damn, Mochi. Stop with the "Gay" conspiracy theory bullshit.
