Wait, so- Mr. Popo isn't meant to be Black? Listen, I don't know what Mr. Popo is, except very strange. But based on Dragon Ball Z lore, he is a genie. But David had an interesting idea about how Mr. Popo's depiction may be more complicated than we thought.

Let me be very clear here and say that this debate doesn't negate the fact that Mr. Popo still is offensive to people. Like, this is not a get out of jail card. No, absolutely not.

And I do think that... What David is uplifting here is that even though we have a very unique position as Black people, Black Americans, or just Black people that live in America, our racial framing as fans is still very important.

I think that's why it's so important that Black fans are not only showing their interest in the medium, but taking ownership of the space in a lot of ways and finding ways to merge the cultures in ways that are comfortable and impactful for them. When we were at the convention last year, we actually went to a panel called Kinks and Curls, Ethnic Hair and Cosplay. Right!

I do want to look like the character, but I want to... So you can see there, like, it was a larger conversation about Black cosplayers, how to do your hair as a cosplayer. Do you braid it under a wig? Do you make your own stuff? But it's also about how they want to, like the host said, embody these characters and make them a part of their own identity.
