I’m not joking and I’m not trying to be racist in the slightest (I’m mixed lol), and if you don’t believe me search the reactions on YouTube from the latest game Sparking Zero, 95 percent are black YouTubers, even the smallest channels. Why is that? I’m not from USA, if that changes anything.

    I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said “yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?” And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes “they talk MAD shit in the show man.” Blew my mind.

      blew your mind because you were convinced that’s the reason. so many black people like dbz?

      does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.

      or just cause it’s the original?

      I’m curious about the rest of the conversation.

      Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?

        It blew my mind because I wasn’t expecting it.

        does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.

        I don’t know. Never watched it.

        Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?

        That is what he meant. I interpreted it as “fuck yeah dude, that shit rules” more than “we talk shit” but who the hell knows.
