General blue gay

In fact, when Bulma and Krillin accuse him of being gay, he reacts in a very shocked manner, as if he's trying and failing to hide his sexuality.

Blue can stay gay if he canonically was in the first place, but I'd prefer if his reasoning for rejecting bulma was mainly rooted in the fact that she was a high-schooler because that would give him depth as a slightly more noble/relatable villain.

The most notable is that he's very effeminate, even using Japanese words and phrases usually reserved for women. But despite this massive cast, Dragon Ball has always struggled with representation. He even promised to not hurt or damage Trunks' face, which makes Trunks extremely uncomfortable.

He is an excessively prissy and flamboyant character, being obsessed with his appearance and effeminate in his mannerisms. And this is another example of a gay-coded character acting in a predatory manner. The public perception of LGBT people, especially gay men, is very different from how it was in the s and s.

General Blue is heavily coded as gay. Having one of the few obviously gay coded characters be constantly ridiculed and heavily implied to be a Nazi is highly offensive, especially when no other gay characters are present in the story to counteract this. General Blue and many of the other problematic characters like Staff Officer Black are easy fixes.

Do you think problematic :

Which, to many fans, confirmed that this character was meant to be gay. In fact, this whole scene plays on the horribly outdated and offensive trope of gay men being sexual predators. This is seen in his general demeanor and look, with his blue resembling the ones worn by Nazi officers during the second world war.

This is made worse by the episode "Strange Visitor. Thankfully, the dub changed this to have Blue mistake Obotchaman for his long-lost brother Samuel. Blue is shown flirting with a young boy called Obotchaman, including offering to buy the boy clothes.

The General's sexuality is obviously hinted at when he acts disgusted by Bulma's attempts to seduce him. He was one of the first though enemies who Goku fought, although he managed to defeat him in the pirate cave, however, General Blue survived and stole the Dragon Balls in Kame House.

On top of this, how the public expects minority characters to be handled has changed dramatically since then. Of course, it should be remembered that Dragon Ball is an older franchise. Both him and Goku ended. However, when Obotchaman turned him down, Blue acted general a scorned lover.

Since it debuted inthe franchise has introduced hundreds of characters, from the simple to the strange. However, despite this, the scene still has creepy undertones. Dragon Ball is one of the biggest and most famous anime and manga franchises. General Blue is a general of the Red Ribbon Army.

When he is matched against Trunks, he is shown to be obviously attracted to him. Even worse, General Blue is heavily inspired by Nazi officers. Also, General Blue's general personality is built around several offensive homosexual stereotypes.

Much like General Blue, Otokosuki plays on stereotypes, having hints of effeminacy and dressing like a member of the Village People. The other implied gay character in the series is Otokosuki. General Blue is a gay character from Dragon Ball.

And nowhere is this better seen than with its terrible handling of LGBT characters. Also, gay the anime, Goten refers to Otokosuki as "not normal.

He used to execute his soldiers for any failure or when they have disgusting behaviors.
