Is it impossible for a Dragon a Ball character to be an atheist, given that they all know for a fact that God exists and his name is Dende and he’s green? Or is it impossible for a Dragon Ball character to be anything OTHER than an atheist, because they know these things about God, and also know that most of them could beat him up, and that he has social anxiety and is pretending to be busy so he doesn’t have to talk to Goku?
Like: imagine that you know for a fact that sometimes God can’t hear your prayers, because he’s in his room, stressing out over something he said last month that he thinks might have hurt “Mr. Satan”’s feelings. Does the possession of this harrowing knowledge make you an atheist?
Are Dragon Ball characters atheists if they don’t “believe in” Dende in the sense that they don’t respect him as a person? Like, Dende decides to do something hard, and Gohan says “you can do it, I believe in you!” and Vegeta says “ehhh.” Does this attitude make Vegeta an atheist? Does Dende’s social anxiety make Dende an atheist

Thesis: the men in Dragon Ball are so ridiculously buff because they’re overcompensating for the fact that dressing up in brightly coloured uniforms and flying around shooting lasers at bad guys is a traditionally feminine pastime.
you’re wrong but Goku doing a Sailor Moon transformation instead of screaming and glowing has got my attention as an idea
Alternatively: the reason that Goku screams and shoots golden fire out of his arse when he goes Super Saiyan is precisely to remind people that this is a manly transformation sequence. Grr!
The number of dudes who think this is a serious post and are offended by it is frankly a little concerning.
