is black-coded a real thing?

>>212356733 (OP)
no

If I were a black person I would still make a distinction between black and can say the n word and black coded even if I believed such a thing.
I'm not though so what do I know.

>>212356733 (OP)
He's green

>>212356810
very indian coded response

>>212356733 (OP)
If he does say it, what the fuck is anyone gonna do about it huh?

>>212356733 (OP)
if puerto ricans can say it, so can piccolo.

>>212357087
The crazy thing the system doesn't want you to know is, we can all say it.

>>212356733 (OP)
Yes. Mr. Popo is black coded

>>212356733 (OP)
As a spic who watched DBZ as a kid, I never once thought he was supposed to be a nigger.

>>212356733 (OP)
"x-coded" is an anti-intellectual weasel phrase created because previous versions of the phrase became cliched and widely mocked.

Piccolo is based on a japanese stock character, not niggers. How is the quiet, stoic, introspective, voice of reason, father-figure character who doesn't dance, only drinks water, and is generally annoyed by coonery and buffoonery based on blacks?

>>212357190
I thought he was a muslim with turban and all that

>>212357190
It's a pretty universal archetype

>>212357190
He's a character type that niggers just really like to self insert with. Not optimistic and cheerful like Goku. He's a "cool ass nigga that dont play with no bullshiet!" He isn't "black-coded" or whatever, many niggers just with they were "piccolo-coded". He isn't like them, he just appeals to them.

>>212356733 (OP)
fuck's jamal gon do

>>212357111

>>212356733 (OP)
Yes and yes.

>>212357114
Piccolo can say the N word but Mr. Popo cannot.

Is "Mr. Black" black-coded?

>>212357619
>>212357594
this guy and Popo existing proves Piccolo isn't black, end of discussion

>>212356733 (OP)
For your consideration.

Mexican base Broly can't say it. But original super saiyan Broly says it with the hard R

Piccolo is Indian-coded like pic related

>>212357663
Janemba has an african sounding name and looks like Spotemgotem, so he's definitely in the right category

>>212357487
He's what they might become with fathers, so they love him.

>>212357858
He's arab-coded, that's why his race are desert people called ishvalans, they're modeled after arabs who were referred to as ishmaelites in the bible.

>>212356733 (OP)

What makes you say he's black?

>>212357858
There's a jeet in dragon ball though.
Piccolo is meant to be like a wise older arab, like the character in Robin Hood.

turtles are an obvious one

>>212357487
I can get by this. Piccolo is the cool character a subset of black men wish they could be or wish their father was like, etc. He represents the exact opposite of modern black culture but still does everything in a cool way. So what a counter culture black who identifies with Huey Freeman from the Boondocks would aspire to be.

>>212356733 (OP)
I think this is just because one of the popular English dubs actually did have a black guy voice Piccolo. He's black coded because he sounds like a black guy

The balls are inert.

AS A MATTER OF FACT
IT ISN'T

They're Italian

Piccolo can destroy the planet with barely any effort I don't think he cares about being canceled

>>212360823
So niggers

If Saiyans are just white guys, then Namekians should just be black guys.
Their "oozau" form can be the green alien if you want to keep the design for them.

>>212360927
Saiyans are Japanese, Frieza is an Ameritroon

It's hilarious that blacks compare themselves to quiet responsible stoic characters and claim they're black-coded. It's the complete opposite of what they are.

>>212361009
Yeah Piccolo is actually a fat white incel shut-in

>>212361060
He's an Arab. You know, the people who enslaved and castrated black monkeys. Whites should have learned that last part.

>>212360991
no theyre saiyans, the japanese in the manga are japanese

>>212361101

It's all because of Vegeta being racist.

"He's nothing more than a mere namek!" and he usually addresses him as the "namek" lol.

it's because he's an "outsider". black nerds went "he's literally me because i'm the only black kid among my asian and white friends". it's like how freezer pop can represent any generic oppressor the viewer wants to project onto. he can be a wicked evil white colonist or a jewish real estate mogul or whatever, it doesn't matter

>>212356733 (OP)
Piccolo is ironically the OPPOSITE of being black coded. He is instead an example of how Black kids will, when watching a show where everyone is White/Asian like DBZ, project themselves onto distinctly "non racial" aliens, robots, fully masked ninjas, etc. Snake Eyes from GI Joe was similarly imprinted onto as a black guy by many black children due to him being fully obscured in a full bodysuit (regardless of the fact he's canonically asian). Everyone in DBZ is white/asian, so Black is looked for a character who didn't belong to an actual real world race to be the guy they root for.
"Black Coded" is the reverse, where despite technically being an alien or robot or whatever that should have no ties to human race relations, social categories, or even genetics, a character is still "black". This can be due to literally being played by a black actor (think Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager) or it can be because the alien/robot/fantasy races wearing an afro or some other visual identifier associated with black people in real life (and probably has a black voice actor).

I've always exclusively played monster or robot characters in video games when they were present and now I wonder if this was the real reason I felt so attatched to them.

member that time piccollo fucked vageta in the ass?

Americans are like "this green fellow who is the son of the devil but later turns out to be an alien who then later turns out to indeed be from the demon world anyway" is black, not that there's anything wrong with that, in fact it's a good thing because uhh..

Piccolo is some kind of mix between native American and Arab coded in actuality. The Nameks are native American as fuck and piccolo's dress attire and initial presentation as a kind of wizard is very Arab reminiscent.
The Piccolo being black coded notion comes partly from how, in the context of American media, there is a certain type of black character archetype that is no-nonsense, stoic, and assertive. Black panther comes to mind. It's the same with with the more aggressive Ninja turtles sometimes being called "black coded" or as mentioned in this thread Snakeyes.
If Tien was colored blue, he'd probably get called "black coded" as well by the same group of people. Another contribution is also that Sabat has a pretty deep gruff voice which sounds 'black' when he voices piccolo.

>dude hes bald and has a deep voice...hes literally a nigger!

puerto ricans all need to be ground into a fine paste

>>212357190
because that's exactly how the black grandfather archetype acts in america

The newer generations take everything too seriously. Black Piccolo was just a joke on how deep his voice sounded but you zooms gotta turn everything into a political issue.

>>212363064

Americans are fucking stupid

The "coded" suffix just means ' exhibiting stereotypes that make me think of x'

No

>>212356733 (OP)
namekian? I don't see why not

>>212356733 (OP)
yes, just not piccolo

>>212356733 (OP)
It's fucking stupid. If an alien exhibits good black stereotypes then he is black coded, what if an alien ran away from his kid, likes to eat chicken and watermelon, drinks Kool aid and commits crime would it still be black coded or would it be racists.

>>212362239
>Is ASexual
Tell that to Vegeta.

>>212367280
Piccolo tried to genocide mankind.

>>212367324
And what?

>>212367372
And that's worse than anything you wrote.

>>212367472
My point still stands, if a character has good stereotypes he is coded but if he has bad stereotypes then it's racist. So the whole coded thing is fucking stupid.

>>212356733 (OP)
It's like how "Butler" out of Artemis Fowl was Black Coded (he was tall, strong, dumber and a slave to the White Coded Fowl)
Or how "Jet Black" is Black Coded (because Spike is the protagonist and Jet isn't, ergo Jet must be black)
"Michelangelo" from Ninja Turtles is Black Coded (he's cool but stupid and not really good at anything)
"Raphael" the ninja turtle is Black Coded (he's violent, gets lots of attention and thinks he should be the boss but the other turtles and Splinter just look at each other and keep automatically accepting that Leonardo is the leader.
Incidentally Leonardo is White Coded (plain and boring unlike black Michelangelo, but reliable; smart at decisions but not a weak nerd like jewish Donatello; good at fighting but not liable to rape and murder like black Raphael)

>>212361660
True.
Black kids know Goku isn't Black because he's the protagonist. Piccolo is physically larger, prone to violence, has a deep voice and is a different species from the humans or human-passing Saiyans. Therefore he is Black.
