#this is why i don't think it was vegeta's idea to send raditz to earth

This is gonna get me hate but....

WARNING: MY OWN OPINION I RESPECT YOURS BUT PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY HATE.

The thing is, the fandom. The fandom constantly preaches about the virtues of canon x canon and even fanon x canon to the point I feel suffocated, I am primarily first and foremost a oc x canon and selfshipper, anytime I see good art and the tags features a fanon ship. I unlike it.

It's not because I hate the art, I dislike the ships. But then again. Canon ships, stale as shit. VegBul is a overrated ship because of the constant fanservice it gives. I like the idea of a tsundere being tamed, but the fandom doesn't really have any other ideas other than the same plot for a fanfiction, then there's ChiChi x Goku. I hated Chi Chi, still do. And now I hate Goku as well.

Then there's the other ships, 18 and Krillin and the other ones, none of the ships are good, as with the fanon. But this is saying something because I respect y'alls hussle but it's not for me, it's leagues better than Hazbin however.

The shipping aspect of the side is just stale.

Then there's Frieza x Cell and or Frieza x Yamcha that I do not really see happening, Frieza being paired with Cell feels like selfcest, and at worst incest. Frieza complimented Yamcha and all of a sudden it's seen as gay? Like I mean, I am a man who calls my fellow guys handsome does that make me and that person gay? But yeah, whatever go ahead I love a crackship, no I am serious I do. But the idea of them being together isn't really my idea.

Then there's the Launch x Raditz ship, which to be honest is because a famous DBZTuber's thing. Let's face it, no one would have shipped them together if MaskoX didn't make that series at all. It falls under crackship as well, so I don't really care for it as much as everything else.

Perhaps the issue is, the fact I hate all the hero characters. I never really liked any of them even the turned good heros. They all are generic and have the same MO, fight bad guys and keep Earth safe. Goku is a good character in that regard, but the fact the Son Family ALWAYS somehow gets Ws is astondishing.

Then there's VEGETA, someone I first laid eyes on in 2019. I selfsjipped with him. But stopped after something else. I grew to dislike him for a reason I will not be sharing.

Then there's Bulma who was shaping up to be the less disliked character in my opinion. But sadly her cahracter is a stereotype of smart and rich female, that Chi Chi is jealous of. I like Bulma but overtime it's just became obnoxious.

Then there's Yamcha the fandoms punching bag and who people pair with Frieza because it's cute, I don't know, he Tien and some other characters barely appear in anything anymore because of the fact that they've been sidelined.

I think the problem is I like the nouned villains. Most of my work surrounds them, I don't want another DBZ Show, I want a godamn villain show where they all have their own wacky adventures.

I don't mean TFS HFIL as I am tired of people recommending me Abridged and TFS, no hate to anyone here but I don't find the appeal in that. I just don't really get to see why I can't be content with canon content featuring villians.

Then perhaps the worst of all, is the fact the kids, the kids in DBZ are underutilized. There's NOTHING beyond Gohan these kids have, it's always the adults, and not the kids. The main reason why Gohan never married Videl in most of my fics is, that Videl was just... Someone who was bland, never liked Satan either, nor did I like Pan. Why should I care for a character who the narrative never treated well, who, like Bulla is for gooner bait (Which is fucked up) and not treated well. I Don't care for Goten or Trunks either because they also get the same treatment.

"But if you feel like they don't get treatment, then why don't you give them it in your rewrite?"

Here's the thing, if they wanted me to care for the characters, then they should have them be more integral to the plot rather then the fact of being a burden or nothing.

Why should I care if the writers don't care? Yeah, I know, so that's why I avoid canon ships and fanon ships and try to write my own things.

i think one of the reasons i like the namek saga so much is bc the entire thing is just vegeta having So Much Baggage and no one else giving a shit

like. 1) vegeta runs into someone who the story vaguely/not-so-vaguely implies has been a jackass to him, 2) vegeta kills them/gets his ass kicked then kills them, 3) something something super saiyan, 4) rinse and repeat.

and absolutely no one else is remotely interested in his homicidal therapy run. even gohan and krillin after teaming up with him are like "so vegeta how do we beat these guys" and then stand there awkwardly while vegeta and the enemy vent about how much they hate each other. and its like 90% "you always looked down on me/treated me like trash/possibly beat the shit out of me at some point but NOW I AM (somewhat) STRONGER" vs "lmao monkey boy lolololol"

i wonder how long it took gohan and krillin to realize they'd teamed up with the one guy under frieza who literally everybody else hated
