He's just mad because little Goku lightly tapped him on the crotch and asked if he was a boy or a girl.

It's a proven fact that the louder, dumber and more insane you are, the more popular you are with a large segment of the American population.

The way I read it it sounded like this crank just saw some DBZ fanart on Google and I doubt he's ever seen an episode of the show to know what he's talking about or knows what anime is. There's been a lot of attempts by politicians lately to try and crack down on adult content on the Internet like Tumblr's ban on porn which ends up targeting a lot of fan artists and especially those in the LGBTQ+ and kink communities that has a chilling effect on erotic artists and freedom of expression.

Dragon Ball Z is an anime targeted at children. It does not contain erotic content.

Well, there's roshi groping girls and maron episodes (kuririns first gf) also had quite the amount of fanservice.

I might also add that the earlier Dragonball was much more fanservice-heavy, like they had scenes of an underage girl flashing her p*ssy, you could see girls topless with exposed boobs a few times, bulma kept wetting herself in scary situations and pervert characters were not rare.

Either some concerned parents showed him scenes like that or he just doesn't know what he's talking about xD

I'm sure DBZ got singled out by virtue of it being a big property more than anything. That said, what is with anime being in politicians' sights lately? It's bad enough when people make ignorant accusations and assumptions about it, but far worse when someone who has, or in this case is seeking, political power can't be bothered to know what they're talking about.

This. Not like I'd ever waste time defending a Republican (his website calls him "great awakening republican kw miller"), but the way he wrote the Tweet can be read to mean that people have made hentai using DBZ characters, which can result in kids finding porn when they google their fav show. Obviously he is just another alarmist and should not be taken serious. I know it wasn't the intention (probably the opposite is true), but reporting on stupid stuff gives it attention and validation. Happens with the major news organizations and the Cheeto in Chief. It gets you clicks, but it ultimately hurts us all.

Well, if you omit the spaces there is indeed a (hilariously bad) hentai called "DragonballZ". That one was a classic even back in the Morpheus/DirectConnect/KaZaA days.

American ignorance at its finest, unless this guy dug up any ero doujin of the Dragon Ball cast somewhere online. Laughing

I think you made a typo. Fixed it for you:
"I would highly suggest going to his Twitter right now. It’s being flamed with hentai."

This. Very Happy

That’s weird.
I was only told only the “far left” wants anime destroyed or whatever.

After reading this, I’m a little confused...

Well that explains a lot. It's always the alt-right that have a history of ACTUALLY censoring stuff like this.

Comment on the guy all you want, but let's cut the pointless Florida bashing posts that don't even mention the actual article/comments he made. Thanks.

He probably saw that old ass Goku x Sailor Moon hentai and confused it with the actual show.
