>>153800369Piccolo is a Saudi.
>>153800369
I'm very surprised you didn't throw a ninja turtle on there
>>153800369>Only Fry and the Frog are black since for the former he is been portrayed in official lore as black and the latter is literally black and was just under the influence of a curse. Knuckles is more likely native American due to Echidna lore, Darwin is portrayed in the Waterson Family become human episode as a dog, the Doug guy I don't know and Piccolo is a slug.
>>153800369kill yourself
>>153800369>Piccolo >blackok, but why? What's stopping him from being white, or east asian, or hispanic? or south asian?
>>153800511Make me, cunt
>>153800369>Having non-/co/ characters on the picFuck off
>>153800654>Having non-/co/ characters on the picPiccolo is literally the only one in there.>b-but knuckles-has at least 3 cartoon shows and two whole series of comic books.
>>153800605There's no answer without stereotyping black people as a race (which they hate)
>>153800369>Black people claim Piccolo>Mr. Popo is conveniently ignored
>>153800605>>153800820Zoomies need to stop looking so deep into it. Niggolo was just a joke about his deep voice.
>>153800952Yeah, Mr. Popo is Bangladeshi.
>>153800605dumbass zoomers saw people joking about piccolo being black and thought it was serious
>>153800369they're stealing characters now?
>>153801101Finn's black?
>>153800369>darwin>blackshit thread
>>153800716Yeah and Batman still isn't a video game character
>>153801116It’s also because Namek feels like some third world village and they’re all bald-headed. That’s more an African thing than any other stereotypical villager
>>153800369"Coding" is just a way to validate stereotypes in a politically correct manner.
>>153801188you can discuss batman games on /v/, you stupid faggot
>>153801116>>153801135Has Piccolo ever been played by a black guy in any of the English-language Dragon Ball dubs?
>>153800952And this guy.More people need to read and/or watch classic Dragon Ball.
>>153800654>>153801188>2 out of 6 of the characters in that image are non-/co/! The whole board is contaminated!!
>>153800369Tiana is black, what the fuck do you need to code her for she is a black woman who was turned into a frog
>>153800369why is tiana there? there's no coding at all she's literally a black
>>153801147>now
Knuckles is a nerdy white sperg who would probably be angered by rap.
>>153800369I always saw them as black.
>>153800369Piccolo has nothing black about him, I was shocked when I found out Americans coped by saying he was black because it makes no fucking sense, you already have other ACTUAL black characters in Dragon Ball such as Uub and Commander Black
>>153801212but not Batman in general>>153801331give an inchtake a mile
>>153802223>the gorilla is blackwhoa you can't say that anon...
>>153802274>but not Batman in generalalright anon, the thread is about black coded characters, not a Sonic DBZ general. there's no need for you to be a hypersensitive sperg about it.
>>153802274>but not Batman in generalIf thread is so off topic, go ahead and alert the mods
>>153802274>but not Batman in generali don't know how you can not notice the frequent /sthg/ and toonami threads on this board without being a complete newfag
>>153800369Knuckles is too stoic and based on native Americans, Piccolo is a mix of different Asian culturesPlease make your own characters and stop trying to latch on to others, it's pathetic
>>153802735>toonamiWas a mistake>/sthg/Is kept to strictly Sonic comics and cartoons of western originThe second it's about the franchise as a whole or specifically the games, it's not /co/
>>153800605He comes from a patriarchal society that's always getting robbed of its resources or suffering natural disasters. Also the fact that he's physically the biggest out of everyone on the Z-Team
>>153800369>tyronea little bit on the nose but ok>>>uniqua they just gave up.
>>153802777That's not black coded dummy that's black coated
>>153802780>Was a mistakeComplain to the mods about it. There's also the Death Battle threads>The second it's about the franchise as a whole or specifically the games, it's not /co/The thread is not about the games or franchise as a whole. Like I said, if you think this thread is breaking a rule, feel free to alert the moderators
>>153800502Who are you quoting?
>>153802780There's no way you think a fucking image with mostly /co/ characters is enough to considered more off-topic than toonami generals or death battle threads
>>153802911>dark curly hair>basketball jersey>"street smart" lingoseems black coded to me
>>153801232Nope. Chris Sabat and Scott Mcniel are whites.
>>153800369Piccolo is a Brahmin from India
>>153803077Never argued otherwiseFuck them both
>>153800427Nah, Amethyst screams cholo
>>153802856Namek is colonized India when the protagonists show up. DB was inspired by Chinese Mythology and Aryan Invasion Theory. China and India share a border. How anyone looks at them and thinks>black people!is beyond me
>>153802780>Is kept to strictly Sonic comics and cartoons of western origin>The second it's about the franchise as a whole or specifically the games, it's not /co/yes, but that doesn't mean images of those characters/franchises are strictly banned from this board
>>153803444>yes, but that doesn't mean images of those characters/franchises are strictly banned from this board
>>153803350>Image that contains mostly on topic /co/ properties>This is just as bad as these other off topic /co/ habitsso you throw a tantrum whenever a user posts on here with an anime reaction image?
>>153803531the OP image contains media of Western origin. Are you done yet?
>>153803598This hasn't stopped me from being banned when I've done the same
>>153803538>This is just as bad as these other off topic /co/ habitsSomething that's not "as bad" is still bad>>153803598I'm just saying>but that doesn't mean images of those characters/franchises are strictly banned from this boardis wrong as per the rules
>>153803392So? If they find any commonalities, people are gonna identify with it.
>>153803667>Something that's not "as bad" is still badTell the mods what you think.>>153803652>is wrong as per the rules>This hasn't stopped me from being banned when I've done the sameI've seen anons use reaction images from live action /tv/ on /co/ and /v/ without objection or consequence. I don't know what the fuck you did to get banned
>>153800448That's only these recent renditions where they've been niggerfied
>>153801330This nigga is actually based
>>153800605>ok, but why?Because blacks say so, and if you argue about it it means you don't like black people.
>>153803988this is the real answer, and the other answers are nonsense.
>>153803767What commonality? That he has a different skin color from everyone else?
Does he count?
>>153803531Hmm. I wonder why Birchy hasn't been banned for constantly avatarfagging as lolis from obscure chinese shit yet.
>>153804105The ones I just told you
>>153800369I've always felt like Meatwad was black-coded too?
>>153800369None of these characters speak in stupid ebonics
>>153804666>yo muh nigga Knux be straight up aura farmin n sheeit
>>153804502Frylock is voiced by a black man, thoughAnd Master Shake one referred him as sounding black
>>153801352The 'artist' just looked up "Cartoon characters with black VAs", saw the frog and added it to the image.He has likely never even heard of Princess and the Frog.
>>153800369What do you mean Tiana's "black coded"? She is really black, just not in her frog form.AND THIS IS ANOTHER STEALTH DEATH BATTLE THREAD!!!
>>153802856>robbed of its resourcesso India?Africa's resources are all still there. The means to extract them is all still there. They just don't know how to operate, organise or use any of the things to use "resources"
>>153800369>frog Tiana in the image
>>153803151He's not black coded though, he is literally a black kid from the city
>>153801330>>153800952"Black coded" is not the same as being black or having literal pitch black skin
>>153800369Always “black-coded”, but never “Black-created”. Same goes for queer.
>>153802223
>>153805237Popo isn't human so he counts.
>>153805237I think the point is Dbz portrays it's actual black characters differently from how Piccolo is claimed to represent black people
>>153804502Meatwad is a white kid trying to be street if ever I saw one
>>153800369>you're black>you sound black>...>where are you from?
>>153804145Weird but not at all
>>153802274Usually they turn into general Batman threads
>>153800369>>153800427
>>153800427she's latina
>>153800427SIT ON MY FACE
>>153805799latinas can be black too, gringo
>>153805762Sapphire is a white woman so she’s actually mixed.
>>153804666Nobody does irl either lol
>>153802780>Is kept to strictly Sonic comics and cartoons of western originno they aren't lmao
>>153802018potatohead looks like steve harvey, it tracks
>>153806635The threads (that don't get deleted most of the time) still open with specifically the actual material that is board relevant
>>153802777wasted lucky trips on a dumbass post
>>153802195>>153802223Based
>>153807011you're acting like the thread opened with a picture of sonic's friends captioned "ITT: Top Ten Sonic characters"
>>153800369>>153805259This image is an attempt by the artist to promote his own indie show called Fly. Every single ad he makes is all about how black boys need representation. The plot? Who cares, it's about black kids getting oppressed by cops. This one in particular is seething that instead of being represented by black characters, you get coding.
>>153800369Any non-human character voiced by Tiffany Hadish.
>nobody posted sylvesterSuffering Succotash
>>153800424He's Indian.>Turban>Stretchy arms and levitation like DalsimShitting Street Coded
>>153804145Willow is
Im black, can we stop taking fictional characters and applying real world logic to them? What the fuck does this even mean?
>>153807903It plays into stereotypes, but in a manner that is seen as positive rather than negative.
>>153800502The Frog is a jeet called Naveen, not black
>>153805237It's called selective bullshit.Piccolo is cool so black people claim him meanwhile Goku is more black behaving.Runs out on his family just to throw hands in a figurative parking lot.
>>153800502>Darwin is portrayed in the Waterson Family become human episode as a dogDarwin's been consistently voiced by black VAs for over a decade.
>>153801158Yeah he's my nigga
>>153809931Samurai Jack is black by that logic
>>153800605He grew up without a dad, got into a life of crime, got the shit kicked out of him and went to prison for a while, converted to islam and then started to help raise the child of the guy that beat him up.
>>153804310Yeah.
>>153802972Is Tom black-coded?>Wears a zoot suit>Sings jazz>Lazy and violent
>>153800654>>153802274>getting this autistic over an example picture that's only meant to illustrate a point about a specific type of character
>>153810694Probably, Mammy kind of acts like a mother figure to him sometimes
>>153800369this shit is retarded on multiple levels. why is it wrong for an echidna to be black-coded but a hedgehog to be white-coded? or a fish to be black-coded but a cat to be white-coded? or a box of fucking french fries to be black-coded but a milkshake to be white-coded? and why the fuck is tiana even pictured? she was explicitly a black woman before and after being transformed into a frog.
>>153800605he can say it
>>153807833He is just dressed like a jeet. There is nothing Indian about his aura, personality, and physical traits
The kickstarter for Fly is mostly this guy going "Oh woe is me" because he is very insistent on being a victim. I feel like if the primary sellinbg point of your story is "The characters are black" you ain't go shit.
>>153800427>>153805762>when the two darker skinned gems fuse, they become a wild, uncontrollable beast voiced by Nicki Minaj>unless they fuse with the white skinned gem, becoming something more graceful or sophisticated What did they mean by this?
>>153813763
>>153813767I enjoy Scatman Crouthers.
>>153800369The word "coded" works without the need of authorial intent. Saying that Orcs are an allegory for Blacks implies that the author intended that. Saying that they are Black "coded" works completely on "perception". All of fiction sucks now because this mindset. This is also why shippers get angry the story doesn't go their way.
Moto Moto is an allegory for the black man.
>>153800605>ok, but why?https://youtu.be/Fwj91-uHDa8https://youtu.be/H7692thZF_Q
>>153801330That part made my jaw drop as a kid. I was expecting Goku to take down the ginger midget.
>>153801158From the waist down
>>153801330>Staff Officer Black I dont know if he wanted to be called by that code name or his last name is genuinely Black.
>>153810694>zoot suit>blackThe zoot suit riots were Meheecanoes, not negros.
>>153800605Got into a gang war with the space Mexicans over turf, grew up violent without a dad, mellowed out after hitting 40
>>153813899Toriyama used to be a good writer even flying by the seat of hos pants. The red ribbon leadership is a double subversion thats both hilarious and still leaves the expected action plot beats intact. Goku will never know that the entire reason he destroyed the strongest military on earth was because its leader was a manlet because he still kills the guy he thought was its leader who did want to use the dragon balls for world domination It's perfect action-comedy
>>153802777He did seem kind of black to me too
>>153800605Every villain (Except Cell I guess) keeps being racist towards him
>>153800605He’s tall and has deep voice.And he was basically Gohan’s “black magical negro”.
>>153800369>dawinnah>>153800427>amethystshe's latina
getting lots of faggot-coded vibes from this thread
Why did Dreamworks cast two black guys to play animated horse/horse-adjacent characters?
>>153800502Original Western canon had Knuckles be Rastafarian-coded (see: picrel and his shoes).>>153802856>that's always getting robbed of its resources or suffering natural disastersWut?Besides Freiza, when has this happened?
>>153813251whisper is black but she is not black codedvector is black coded but he is not black
>>153816244Well there's the Namek Saga, The Meta Cooler movie, and the Moro arc, and that planetary cataclysm they keep mentioning. other than that I dunno
>>153813327>his aura

>>153802856>that's always getting robbed of its resources or suffering natural disastersNobody knew about them being alive till Raditz came to visit his brother.>Freezer and Vegeta mass killingyeah, like they did in millions of countries.
>>153816839Sonic is more like a white guy who acts black to look "cool", aka a wigger
Sonic Adventure 2 specifically made Knuckles seem like a white dork with security issues so he imagines himself as a badass black guy in his head.>GIVE UP THE EMERALD OR DIE, I DON'T LOVE YOU>meanwhile in real life
>>153809276I thought Coonskin versions were interesting.
>>153813767(Ghetto)Blaster too.
>>153816840>Being over 18 makes me a boomerit's time for school, Timmy
>>153800369Piccolo is more like a buddist monk, always on a mountin meditating
>>153816894Does not help most SA2 ports mess up his skin color due to lighting differences.
>>153815209Ackchyually, while the riots involved them, the fashion was originally more of a black thing.
>>153817352I'm pretty sure Rouge is darker than him in all versions too.
>>153800369>"black coded"not against this in general, but it always pisses me off whenever they say this about the whitest characters in fiction
>>153800369Black people trying to "claim" characters made by asians should be considered cultural appropriation
>>153800369Americanisms really need to stop being let outside their own country
>>153805845still would
>>153800369>Darwin is a pet who 'grew legs'>Owned by a white familyWhy do blacks want to claim Darwin so bad? This isn't good looks.
>>153800369Shut the fuck up.
>>153805880Latinx are Indian coded
>>153801116They also use the one time Piccolo wore casual clothes and he had a backwards baseball cap to mean he's black coded. Yes really.
>>153800369If you shut down any basketball Americans claiming Piccolo os black remind them namekians are a race completely made up of men who reproduce asexually and have no dicks. They don't like that.
>>153805880If you wanna see any charcoal americans go bananas remind them Miles Morales is Latino. They REALLY don't like that.
>>153819323>have no dicks.Why do you think Latinx self insert as Vegeta and say piccolo is black coded?
>>153819566I honestly don't know. I haven't watched dbz since I was a teenager and i don't interact with anime fandoms because they're either full of black and brown people or trannies
Gloria is Nicki Minaj coded
My anaconda don't want none
>>153816410>Well there's Frieza, movie-canon Frieza knockoff, and a manga villain...
>>153800369>>153800952>>153801330>>153802195Dr Slump (also by Akira Toriyama) had the black tour guide

>>153804145He is a clone of an Anglo man.
>>153800369Holy shit, you people from the States are really poisoned, here in Italia, nobody came with that stuff in 40 years of Dragon Ball.
