Partners In Crime

         For the most part, all of the queers that've killed had been in pairs. Everyone seemed to have had a partner in crime in some shape or form, and in a way, a lot of them reminded me of Android 17 and 18 from the popular anime Dragon Ball Z.  Android 17 and 18 are twin siblings, 17 being the boy and 18 being the girl. They were created to kill without any remorse by a guy named Dr. Gero. They've been characterized as being murderous sociopaths who care about no one but themselves. And that description fits a lot of the characters that we've looked at throughout the quarter. Leopold and Loeb, Angel y Nene, Christine and Lea, Pauline and Juliet, and the list goes on. Some fall under the "bad-ass" category like Angel & Nene. Those two guys were some bad-ass criminals. They put fear aside and went about their job of stealing money and if that process required them to kill people, they were going to do it. So they're like 17 & 18 in the way that they too are a pair of bad-asses who won't hesitate to kill anyone in their way of reaching their goal of killing Goku. Also, the Androids are siblings and their relationship consist of doing anything for eachother, just like the sisters that we saw in Sister My Sister, except there is no incest between the Androids. I wish these two were somehow in a way featured in the class because they're two of the coolest  characters ever invented.  It's just a shame that they aren't queer.
