Honestly, I just don't feel that this is the correct forum for anyone to be sprucing their pro-homo/trans/gender propaganda, or any such political agenda. I can appreciate other have adverse opinions regarding the topic itself, which is fine, but I would still question the legitimacy of this type of content and its relevance to this community. There is no real defining link to Dragonball Z to be made here. Do you not agree?
This topic is deliberately politically charged and to what purpose? None, that can be seen; other than to promote these perverse activities. I for one don't believe that a site such as this, dedicated to ckllectible action figures; a site that may very well be visited by young and impressionable minors, should be subjected to propaganda promoting homosexual activity and self-loathing/mutilation. And you say it is, I, who should be disappointed! No... I say it is humanity that should be disappointed in itself for ever permitting such stupidity to begin with.

I come here to share and enjoy in a hobby that I am passionate about; not to have weirdo propaganda unashamedly thrust into my face by unapologetic hypocrite and imbeciles then calling me intolerant.
While I agree DBF is not the place for certain types of discussion, I think you're turning this topic from something rather innocent into a conversation that isn't appropriate for DBF. This topic was mainly just concerned with a color scheme for Goku, not much different (honestly) than wanting to color him the colors of your favorite sports team or the colors of a country's flag. So, let's not make this topic about anything political, sexual, religious, or anything else that separates the DBF society. We're all fans of the anime/manga/figures. That's what brings us together. We are all different types of people, with one common interest that brings us here. In some cases, many of us might not be friends without DBZ as our common bond. I don't like discussions that tear us apart or segment us. So let's just not make this a discussion about such. DBF members are certainly allowed to have their opinions on world topics and such, but it's not an appropriate place to try to discuss opinions like this. It isn't a DBF membership requirement to be completely open minded or something like that, so SK is entitled to his view just as much as anybody else, however, it isn't appropriate to be discussing these type of things on a forum about DBZ and figures.
I don't recommend any punishment for anyone, for anything that has been said, and if Seal would like me to, I'll clean out some posts from this topic (pm me if you want this done) as this portion of his custom topic should be just focused on his artwork and what he's doing. Not on promoting/commenting views on sexuality.
I hope that makes sense.
In summary, I see nothing wrong with Seal wanting to recolor Goku to fit something he thinks is important to him. If this topic continues to go to the adjacent topic of sexuality though, we'll be entering discussion that I feel is best removed and not discussed on DBF. I don't like the idea of discussion that can be very negative to a group or individual. That sort of discussion just doesn't belong here, because it leads to hostility, conflict, groups being segmented/created, etc.
So... yeah... no more replies based on that. Only replies on the artwork please.
