Does Dragon Ball Fail Its Female Characters?
Please stop!
Dragonball aas originally never planned as a series to please the woke western audience!
Female characters are being pushed into the background?
Tell that to Yamcha, Tien, and even Piccolo or Gohan!
Tell that to Goten, to Boo and the list goes on!
Did these characters maybe have had something akin to fanservice episodes? Maybe, but for the rest of the time they are in the background and fulfill no further role besides gawking at the power of the newest enemy or the newest haircolor of Goku and Vegeta.
These two are the main characters!
In contrast to for example Onepiece that has a whole ships crew as the main cast and their temporary allies on the newest island serve the gawking and power skaling role, in dragonball the main cast is just Goku and Vegeta and what temporary allies are for the strawhats, for them they are the rest of the 'Z' fighters.
Get over it!
