@pkKodama She became less aggressive and nice as you put it after she cut her hair. It's pretty obvious to me that those 2 main reactions show that she was tsundere for Gohan.

She is quieter now. In Z she was even rude to Gohan when she wanted something. She used to be competitive and now she is a quiet girl. But I'm not saying that her opinions are any less relevant than they were in Z. She just doesn't speak now as much as she used to speak.
She is less of an entitled brat now because she is an adult and plus she is married to Gohan so obviously she wouldn't strive to be angry and rude at him. She has far less scenes in Super than Buu saga DBZ so obviously you wouldn't see her speaking as much because she doesn't appear as much.

@Deknijff In fusion reborn and Broly second coming she also did act tsundere and I remember a filler of her being angry that Gohan was going out with a next girl. Gohan is just blushing, that isn't being tsundere.

Not really. It seems to me like she unfortunately gave up being a fighter to become a parent just like Gohan, and that was a bad decision in my opinion. She was definitely much better as a fighter. That has nothing to do with being a brat or an adult.

But tsundere is not the name of an action. It's a characteristic of a character as a whole. All anime characters can act like a tsundere sometimes but that doesn't make them tsundere.

I disagree and she has shown to be a good mother to Pan. After the devastating beating she got from Spopovitch it was a good idea for her not to remain a fighter and fight the type of guys that the DBZ fighters fight.

This is exactly what happened with Videl in regards to her relationship with Gohan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere

Tsundere (ツンデレ?, pronounced [tsɯndeɽe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time.

She was as much of a tsundere as Vegeta and Piccolo were.

That just means she resigned to her position of a loser. I call it sad. She's too young to give up and she should have kept training.

I hardly even remember the movies since I kind of just consider them as fan fiction but if you say so
I know just blushing isn't enough to be tsundere but thats why I bring it up
Videl is acting more embarrassed than tsundere here honestly in my eyes
But I will give you that maybe Im just not seeing it because Im more used to the tsundere kind that treats their love interest as a slave or human garbage more than anything else

so Videl is just to tame in my eyes to even notice it maybe

Tsundere is a character that is always changing between hostile and nice like many characters of Kugimiya Rie. Videl only changed to nice and stayed forever nice without changing to hostile again. I don't call that Tsundere.

We have no way of telling if she completely gave up training. Chi Chi was still a fighter even after becoming a mother. I don't see anything sad about it at all. Fighting isn't everything in life and people have other priorities as well. Just because DBZ has a lot fighting doesn't mean every character has to be a fighter.

@Deknijff Yeah not all tsunderes are the super violent crazy kind.

@pkKodama Not every tsundere is the same and they do change to being less or not hostile at some time especially when they accept their feelings.

Hmm Honestly I think everyone should be a fighter as well as something else, and I'm not just talking about Dragon Ball, but we don't need to argue about this, we have different opinions and that's ok.

As much potential she might have, Videl was very weak compared to the weaker Z-Warriors and she just grasped the basic of learning ki. But look at the other characters who gave up on fighting: Chichi, Kuririn, Yamcha, 18 and to a lesser extend Gohan.

Yamcha was a desert bandit and later tried competetively in martial arts to rival Goku. But after many losses, he only showed up to help Goku and the others against enemies, but due to being barely a help, he gave up on fighting since he cannot compete with the others in anyway.

Kuririn felt the same way. And with guys like Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Piccolo around who are much stronger than him, he can finally relax and enjoy the family life he dreamt of when he was young. Hell, he was worried that he never got married, and since Earth is peaceful, he doesn't need to fight anymore unless it's necessary. (And dying thrice sucked.)

18 was used as a killer machine for a good portion of her life, and before that she was an outcast of society, but thanks to Kuririn who saw her as a human rather than a machine and loved her as a person, she finally got the chance to live the life she could never imagined before and be "human".

Chichi has a very narrow viewpoint and has a very conservative way of thinking. She thinks she must live the way that is expected from her, and her expectations came from unrealiable external sources like magazines (the reason why she wanted to marry Goku). And since it was expected for women to be housewives and mothers, she acts accordingly like that, but it also strengthened her love for her family. She wants to live as normal as possible, and being a martial artist is not "housewife"-like. (not to mention that DB is from the 80's).

Videl is the daughter of Mr. Satan, so everyone expected that she has to be super strong to live up to her father's name. She didn't knew about the special martial artist and superhumanly strong characters and she thought she was weaker than her father. But she eventually learned the truth, she met the true saviour of Earth and he was a very modest person who likes to not live in glory. She realized how far behind her father is behind the other Z-Warriors, but none of them don't care if he takes all of their credit. Videl learned that strength is not everything, and despite she married the strongest man of Earth (until BoG), said strongest man just wants to live a normal life and be a teacher to support his wife. She doesn't need to be a fighter because it is okay that she doesn't need to live up to Mr. Satan's name and that she can be happy with someone who is not a macho.

The DB characters don't need to be fighters. Not all of them. They seem to be the most human when they are not fighting and that gives them depths to their characters.

Yes, but I don't think people should do martial arts only to be stronger than others. It's about overcoming your own limits and living healthier than how they would live in a sedentary life. I believe that all the Dragon Ball characters can live a happy everyday life while still training everyday too. And I don't really think any of them really stopped training, it's just not shown because they don't train all the time like Vegeta. And it was confirmed in Super that Chichi is still doing martial arts in a scene with Pan.

I used to have Kiritsugu as my profile picture before I joined forums, but now I get to see Haruhi wherever I go and I don't regret changing it at all. Plus it's not like I'm trying to trick anyone, I mean if I was I wouldn't put a gender down or I would tell people I was female. I don't see the harm in different gender avatars from what you are, there's a lot of girls with guy avatars too.

Yeah, but those characters don't have that mentality. Earth is peaceful (for now, and even if not, they wouldn't make a difference), and they see that there is no need to overcome their limits. They are happy with their life, and who are they fighting if not enemies. Goku trains because he knows there are stronger people than him, and Vegeta wants to surpass his rival. Only Piccolo and Tenshinhan have that mentality you mention, but they devoted their lives to be martial artists. The other gave up because they don't think that need to be stronger or be fighters anymore. You can either be a full-blown martial artist or a hobby fighter. And even though Vegeta and Goku do spend some time with their family, they spend most of their time training and have less time with their family, while the others don't train (much), but have more time with their family. They have different priorities in their lives.

Future Trunks for example (the husbando of many fangirls) is really, really badass, but he would always trade his life with Present Trunks. ("I may be strong, but my life is so shitty, I would love to live in a world where I don't have to fight anymore.")

And like in many other sports, people get tired at the end of doing their sports for decades and simply want to rest.

Wow, this thread has already going on for 5 pages without me being noticed.

Anyway, people can pick anything they like as their profile picture as long that it isn't connected to some sensitive issues (9/11, etc). I previously pick a Corvette as my avatar and now I choose the Iron Man Mark 42 armor as my avatar. Why? Because I like it.

Simple as that.

Many male protagonist look really plain, even if they have a ridiculous hairstyle. While there also some plain/common female designs, if they are gorgous or moe, they are gorgous or moe.

Surprisingly I don't see that many people with say One Punch Man, Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan etc avatars even those these are really popular shows.

Maybe that's a reason too? Art from Naruto, One Punch Man, etc. is everywhere and if you want an avatar that makes you easy to identify these are probably not the best options.

On the other hand, I can talk about my case and say that I pick my typical Osaka avatar (I don't have it at the moment) because 1) she is my favorite character and 2) the pic displays the mood I want to be identified with.

About the demography of these anime... eh, let's not go there. Most avatars in MAL are still from shonen and seinen shows, cutesy girls or not.

For you, it seems that a forum with male users using female avatar is a new thing. To me it is the norm. And most forum I used were dedicated to video games, RPG ones.


Yeah that's certainly not true at all. I feel like you as well as most people are missing the point entirely out of some defensive reasoning.

I'm asking why a higher proportion of male users on this forum have avatars of little girls as opposed to most other forums, movie/game/superhero forums.

Not an argument. I doubt the lads at the pub like dragonball Z either


Probably not but at least when I went to see the movie in theatres it was mostly packed with adult men. That wouldn't be true for a K On movie especially in the West.

DBZ has no good female characters(sorry op.)Thats why no one in your forum has girls as profile pics.


There's plenty of users who have female characters as avatars just not to the same proportion and generally not the little girl characters.

It's been explained to you repeatedly, but it's almost as if you're deliberately ignoring the answers and just focusing on the memes and bait.

Take IMDb, for example. Most people will have avatars featuring characters from movies or TV shows. Go to a wrestling forum, there most people would probably have avatars of wrestlers. Most wrestlers are male, thus most avatars there would be male. Now go to a car forum, and I'm pretty sure most people would have avatars of cars, because guess what? In a car forum they are there to discuss cars, and clearly have an interest in cars.

Now finally, it brings us to MAL. A website that focuses on anime and manga. So by using the above examples, let's guess what avatars people would use. That's right. Anime or manga avatars.

So now let's focus on why most people have avatars of FEMALE characters. Let's talk about comics. I don't read them and I don't know much about them. I just saw the Marvel and DC films and the majority of the cast were male. The Avengers films only really have Black Widow, and the (new) DC films only really have Wonder Woman in lead roles. Now a majority male cast means that the chance of coming across someone who's favorite character is male is much larger, and hence will lead to a higher chance of said person having an avatar of a male character.

So by your own examples it goes to show you that people tend to have avatars of their field of interest. You are looking at fields where there are way less female characters and a much larger focus on lead male roles, and then comparing them to anime, especially the more obscure anime than your popular ones like DBZ, where you tend to have many more female characters. So from my point of view, there are just simply more likable female characters in anime/manga, and hence there is a higher chance of running into someone here who's favorite character happens to be female.

You also clearly do not understand the aesthetic attraction people have with anime characters, so don't worry too much about it and just accept that some people here enjoy looking at them. Also, stop comparing them to real women. Once again, it's about the field of interest. Some people enjoy abstract art and will thus have paintings in their homes of abstract art, despite it not resembling "the real world", so to say.

In my case my avatar can be summarized in a basic decision tree: This is an anime board, so my avatar should be related to anime. There are way more female characters than male ones that I like in anime. So now we're already sitting with a higher chance of having a female avatar. Finally, I found the scene in my avatar to be funny, and somewhat sexy (it's more about the subject matter, before you try comparing it to real women again). And now here we are, a cute female avatar despite me being male.

Also, you always assume that the "little girls" are actual little girls. The are mostly often teenagers who are drawn to look like little girls because they are meant to look cute. Just look at your pic. You have a 36-year old dude (+1-1-7, etc.) who ages much slower than Earthlings, but you cannot assume his age until you do the math. Back when he was 12, nobody who has no idea of his age would assume he was 12. So before saying that all the moe fans are pedos, you have to do your research first and then also remember that pedophiles are not attracted to teenagers past the age of prepubescence. They could be drawn larger, it would not made a difference, since the age is still the same.

If you really want a show about sexualized little girls, there are titles like Ro-Kyu-Bu! or Kodomo no Jikan who feature actual sexualized elementary girls.

And then there are shows that feature sexualized elementary girls, but go beyond the little fanservice and add mecha-like elements into them, and said elementary girls grow up into full-fledged military mothers/lesbians who can fire beams larger than Super Kamehameha. Art style isn't everything and you have to dig under the surface to understand the picture.

Look at my avatar. Is she my favorite waifu? No, not my absolute waifu, but she's one of my two waifus in the series. And why do I picked that? Because it's creepy and it looks like she just got her period.^^

I was using my own animated photo as Profile's photo and my favorite male character as avatar until yesterday. . . I was changed it to my current pictures which is a female character (she is not a loli though) because I want a different feeling when I see my avatar/profile. Yeah, people chose their avatar for different reasons, but mostly because they like it.

OT: because many people here like such character(?)

It's been explained to you repeatedly, but it's almost as if you're deliberately ignoring the answers and just focusing on the memes and bait.


I get the answer people are trying to give but it's not one that fully makes sense.

Yes this is an anime site, yes there are more female characters in anime as opposed to video games.

However this isn't a lolicon or moe forum. It's a general anime forum and there are drastically more anime and anime characters that don't feature these little cutesy girls.

So why there appears to be such a large portion of users with avatars from this specific group is where the curiosity comes in.

Asumming genders by avatar is fucking retarded.


How am I assuming? It says on the profile the gender of the user. You have a little girl as your avatar and it says your a male exactly like what my supposed "assumption" is.

This was always something that surprised me. When I first signed up and I saw all these users with these avatars of little girls I figured the forum was just really popular with females. But whenever I click on these profiles 9 out of the 10 users will actually be guys

what do you think of people who have both a male and female character on their profile picture?


I wouldn't really think anything of it. I suppose I'd just think that user liked those characters.

Yes I'm aware that the users who have little girls as avatars like those characters. I'm asking why such a significant portion of this forums users have decided on this particular type of little girl character when they make up a small portion of overall anime characters.

I guess, must be some weird anime thing then I suppose.

I know western comic/animation fans can find certain characters attractive but they certainly wouldn't take it that seriously at least in the same kind of numbers.

Thank you for answering my question
I honestly don't think you can really answer that question since everyone of those little girls are different so people use their pictures for different reasons as we are all different
But Im sure many people have profile pictures of other things than little girls in this community but perhaps your attention is just focusing on the little girls for whatever reason weather you find it weird or disgusting so thats all you see. I don't really care about little girls or people who like them themselves so when I check through the forums all I see is a big variety of pictures

Okay, let me guess. You don't watch those "little girl" shows because you think they are childish. That mentality is childish by itself. It doesn't matter if it is childish or not, Disney is successful because it appeals not only to children, but to adults as well, and many adults are openly Disney fans and don't need to be ashamed of it because the large majority accepts it.

And if it's not socially accepted. Who cares? Just being an adult doesn't stop you from watching them. Just look at the My Little Pony fandom. It's a show about little girls, but it has a large fandom of adult males and male teenagers because they are drawn to the characters and the themes of the show. Like Dragon Ball is a series for kids, but it's written in a way that everyone regardless of their age can enjoy it.

You didn't seem to notice that those moe characters aren't a small portion at all. They are everywhere. But because they look childish, you think that being an adult, watching childish things is bad? You are an adult. It does not matter. You can watch what you want and you don't to care about what others think about it. You still can enjoy it. But if you think that childish equals "not good", then you are very shallow person. You won't understand the appeal if you don't try it yourself and invest your emotions into a character. You probably have favorite characters, so that shouldn't be hard. You can also dig deeper into the themes of the shows, but the truth is, most little girls you see aren't actual little girls. Only teenagers. Trust me, there are adults who are drawn the same way. It's just art.

You are asking for anwers, but if you don't try it out, you wouldn't even understand the answers. So many people answered to you, but it doesn't look like you want to understand it. You need to experience it.

You can also ask "why are straight women interested in gay shows?". You get answers, but you won't understand it until you try watching them.

AND AGAIN! IT'S NOT JUST THIS FORUM! IT'S EVERY ANIME FORUM! EVERY ANIME FORUM THAT DOESN'T FOCUS ON ONE FRANCHISE!
