Dragon Ball's Terrible LGBT Representation - and Why It Needs to Be Fixed
Dragon Ballis one of the biggest and most famous anime and manga franchises. Since it debuted in 1984, the franchise has introduced hundreds of characters, from the plain to the strange. But despite this massive cast, Dragon Ball has always struggled with voice. And nowhere is this better seen than with its terrible handling of LGBT characters.
Dragon Ball has only had two characters with any in-universe proof of their LGBT status. The first was General Cobalt , who made his debut in the first episode of Dragon Ball's General Blue Saga. The General's sexuality is obviously hinted at when he acts disgusted by Bulma's attempts to seduce him. In reality, when Bulma and Krillin accuse him of being male lover, he reacts in a very shocked manner, as if he's trying (and failing) to mask his sexuality. Which, to many fans, confirmed that this character was meant to be gay.

Dragon Ball Daima Ushers in Queer Representation With Help From the Kai
Warning: Contains spoilers for Dragon Ball Daima episode #6.Anime hold often had notoriously poor handlings of LGBTQ+ content, and Dragon Ballis no exception. While it never engaged in it that often, the original series had a few notable jokes that can come across as homophobic, and while they were mostly products of Dragon Ball originating in the 1980s, it makes for bad representation from the series, regardless.
Dragon Ball has never had a good relationship with LGBTQ+ representation, but Dragon Ball Daima has put in the work to change that. Dragon Ball Daima episode #6 contained more lore on the Glinds, the demon race of Shin and the Kais, and surprisingly, Dragon Ball Daima used the new lore surrounding Shin and the Kais to put some positive LGBTQ+ representation in Dragon Ball. That’s great to witness, especially when considering the franchise’s poor history with the subject, and overall, it’s something that can mean a lot for anime, as a whole.

Dragon Ball Still Hasn't Reckoned With One of Its Most Problematic Characters
Dragon Ball is far from a flawless series and some of its worst aspects have only become more problematic over time. Many of the worst traits of the series are widely acknowledged: Master Roshi's non-consensual sexual behavior was written for comedy but comes across as increasingly unpleasant, and Mr. Popo's appearance is reminiscent of racist blackface imagery.
One problematic element of the imaginative Dragon Ball that doesn't gain discussed as much is General Blue. While the Red Ribbon Army is one of Dragon Ball's most well-known villain teams, the individual members are less well-known. Everyone remembers Doctor Gero and Android 8, mostly due to their ties to the Android and Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z. However, General Blue is a lot less well-remembered, which means this highly problematic character has been overlooked.

I mean sure it has a skinny plot that is only there to give a premise for the 20-30 episode long fights.
Doesn't mean its gay.
Or when the villain says he is going to "give him all he's got" and the hero says "go ahead I can hold it".
Whats same-sex attracted about that?
Or when they take a photo energy beams that have a similar shape to the male reproductive organ.
How is that gay?
Why Dragon Ball Z isn't any more gay then the sport of Bodybuilding. I mean oily guy in speedo's with all hair shaved off his body, striking poses on a stage. Whats Gay about that?
Now a person in the sport could be gay or a character in a show. Maybe an artist or writer is struggling with hidden feelings of homosexuality and it shows up in the operate they do. People can be homosexual but a TV show can only show what people put in them. I mean calling a TV exhibit gay is dumb and immature, I mean a wood is more likely to be male lover cause it cross pollinates with other trees. So I would suggest a different adjective to describe non-living immaterial things.
"Too much of a good thing is an amazing thing, but too much of an awesome thing is, um, really really dumb. And
