Chyna • WWF Monday Night RAW, 12/11/00

Ok, but the fact that I could write an essay about how Chyna paved the way for women’s professional wrestling, deserves to be in the hall of fame more then anyone, and was treated like absolute shit while being taken advantage of.

“Yamcha!”

Chichi?! ..You’re safe!

it’s heavily implied that the reason chi-chi cares so much about intelligence and being “proper” is that she’s constantly considered a stupid hick–people in the manga comment on her low-class, country accent. she wants so badly for gohan to have more opportunities than barely scraping by until the next world tournament

and people forget that chi-chi grew up like that too. no way chi-chi ever had formal schooling. she was raised by her father, who was so scary residents called him the emperor of demons. she didn’t have friends; she was sheltered and naive and daydreamed about getting married because all she had was stories. she couldn’t even live in her own home for most of her youth. chi-chi didn’t have a normal childhood

the driving episode is non-canon filler, but it’s still totally consistent with chi-chi’s desire to at least function in normal society. you can’t take the flying nimbus to a grocery store

“but acting normal doesn’t matter when you can crush mountains!” the only people who say this have never actually had to function in society on their own. we’re social animals, being accepted is important. social status may have no concrete value, but it affects how other treat us and how we perceive them. you can’t pretend it doesn’t exist because power levels. goku may not give a shit, but hey, what a coincidence, goku isn’t the one who all the supermarket cashiers recognize on sight. goku isn’t the one who has to go to the hardware store and parent-teacher conferences alone. goku isn’t the one trying to even give gohan a chance to experience human society

MAN??? don’t whine about characters having normal human reactions to the ridiculous amount of bullshit goku puts people through
