Why Vegeta fans souldn't bash Goku
	I am the biggest Vegeta fan as the next person. He has and probably always will be my favorite character. However, as a Vegeta fan sometimes I feel quite embarrassed by other Vegeta fan’s opinions towards Goku. For some reason many Vegeta fans feel Vegeta is God (I have seen it said before) and Dragonball Z should revolve around him, and how dare that "low-level Kakarot" steal the Saiyan Prince's spotlight and glory. Well I hate to break it to these fans, but Vegeta can never take the place of Goku. Goku is the main character on the show. The only other character who has ever defeated a main villain is Gohan (Goku’s son.) No matter how many times Vegeta fans say Vegeta is really stronger than Goku, it just isn’t going to happen. Goku is the strongest (Gohan has the most potential) because that is how Akira Toriyama wrote the show. When you write your own story then you get to decide who is the strongest character, in this case no one has a say except for the creator. Now that being said I really don’t understand why Vegeta fans if they can’t love Goku can’t at least respect and appreciate him for who he is. Even Vegeta learned to appreciate Goku in the end. I guess all the Goku bashers/Vegeta lovers, love nothing more than an imaginary Vegeta who is stronger than Goku and who never admitted that Goku was a better warrior than him. If it weren’t for Goku giving Vegeta a second chance where would Vegeta be in the first place? Vegeta begged Goku to avenge the Saiyans for him. Goku did it. With all the times Vegeta made life for the Z-Warriors harder (allowing Cell to become perfect, giving energy to Buu from his Majin power-up) I never once saw Goku blame Vegeta (and let’s face it, he had every right to.) Instead, Goku always believed in Vegeta and gave him second chances. Goku also never tried to act superior to Vegeta. Goku never put Vegeta down because he was stronger. In the end Vegeta did turn good and learned to love the Earth and his family, however Goku played a big part in Vegeta’s redemption. So before Vegeta fans insult Goku, they should realize that if Goku were any less of a hero he would never have given Vegeta all those second chances. Goku is not perfect, but unless I am watching an entirely different show than all the obsessed Vegeta fans, neither is Vegeta. There is no reason to bash Goku, because you like Vegeta more. In fact people will respect your opinion more if you don’t act like an obsessed lunatic and don’t insult everything that doesn’t revolve around the Prince of all Saiyans. Vegeta and Goku became friends in the end, so why can’t their fans. By "Maiden of the Red Hand"
