Dragonball Z is Evil

[haas mark]

Okay....cut down on the quotes....and epileptics can be quite sensitive to yellow or white flashing against darker colors, as well.

[Yogi]

The Pokemon episode was caused by:

1) The already flashing background, since they were in a "computer world"
2) A swarm of missiles were fired that were blinking blue and red.
3) Pikachu then counterattacked with bright yellow flashes.

[haas mark]

DBZ: At least once an episode......missile-fired energy attacks.

That's not fundamentalism. It's South American culture. And In case you didn't read, he DID have doctors see him.

"Doctors on the town of Tarapoto have examined Edy Frank Castillo and have not yet come up with an explanation for his condition. They continue to study the cases."

Ok, they may not be geniuses, but a Doctor is a Doctor.

Oops. Missed that.

Blaming it on possession is definitely fundamentalism however, as is blaming the show for possessing them and causing their condition by this method, wouldn't you agree?

And Christian Fundamentalism is the primary party for wanting to blame the media for a huge part of society's ills, but that's a whole another debate.

Fundamentalism: A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.
n : the interpretation of every word in the Bible as literal truth

It's not a return, as they've always held the beliefs. They haven't displayed any intolerance so far. And the Bible has no direct link to this issue. I'd term it naievity (sp?) and over-zealousness, but hardly fundamentalism.

They may be fundamentalist, but this isn't a fundamentalist issue.

I know the definition of Fundamentalism, pecker.

And I would call it one, but that's just me.

I would call saying DBZ has possessed their children a link to the Bible, and yes, they are being zealous and naive, but also fundamentalist in that they are blaming a supernatural source for their children's condition.

I know you know the definition, I just posted it to be sure.

Okay, no harm done.

*Sigh*
That's too bad. Anime does do that to some people, just look at Pokemon. Inorder to counter this deamonic posession, they must watch some truly Godly Anime.

EVANGELION!!!

A few episodes of Evangelion and they'll be all fixed up!

If that doesn't work, there's always Kokoro Library. That should counter any convlusions they have, as it is essencially animated tranqualizer.

Then the Fundies will start saying we're portraying Angels in a bad light...

Hahaha. Too true. But, it does show that Adam existed.

[Peregrin Toker]

AAGH!! Holy Cthulhu!! These guys must be quite screwed-up. If they REALLY want to accuse to accuse somebody of promotion of occultism, can't they for once target Norwegian black metal bands? Some of these bands would actually like to have such accusations hurled at them.

[Raptor 597]

Yay, the Fundies showing again illogic. Though I still think Anime sucks.

[kheegster]

Run! Run! Save the Children!!

You know, thre were fundies a few years back that said Pokémon was evil.

Mayyybe not! Perhaps the Fundies will cheer Evangelion as a good demonstratio of God's Wrath against the Puny Humans, who are protrayed as the fuck-ups that they truly are.
