Why does Akira Toriyama get a free pass by Youtubers?

Precisely why the time travel element should've been dropped. The present day stuff has enough good elements to make a pretty great arc without the contrivances & time travel elements bringing it all down.

The time travel isn't really the problem. The lack of explanations are just irksome. I personally think Kaio doesn't have the jurisdiction to help the Z-fighters here. Originally I had posited the idea that Kaio just isn't allowed to get directly involved in general, but thinking about it, what threat do the Artificial Humans pose to neighboring planets or even other star-systems? They're a contained threat, so is it really fair for Kaio to extend a helping hand to Earth? Beyond that, the Artificial Humans are a man-made threat. It'd make sense if Kaio was able to help everyone in the case of the Saiyans and Freeza, because they were other-worldly threats that reeked havoc all throughout the universe, but be unable to do anything in the case of the Artificial Humans because they are the exact opposite of that.

Kaio also owes a lot to the fighters of Earth for their services against Freeza, even if he doesn't usually want or need to focus on matters of this scale, you'd think he'd bite the bullet and make an exception this once. It might not have much value in the big picture, but Kaio doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who wouldn't do his greatest pupil & his homeworld a solid when they need him to.

Besides, Kaio could've just told Goku to piss off when he asks for his help in locating New Namek in the regular timeline if he's that strict on the rules but he doesn't. He helps Goku out even though it has no real value for anything but Earth. Now you can say Cell is a potential universal threat but so are 17 and 18. After all, they know aliens exist and once Earth has nothing left for them to do, what do you suppose they'll target next?

Why does he owe them for that? Freeza isn't Kaio's responsibility. It might not be his call to withhold help. Otherworld does have rules, and while not all of them might be spelled out, one can assume that, for whatever reason, Kaio isn't allowed to help the Z-fighters this time around. The facts are, Kaio didn't help the Z-fighters. To be honest, I'd rather try to rationalize why this is, rather than cry contradiction. We don't know everything about this series, so I don't really see the point writing the events of the future off as an impossibility.

I can't really rationalize it at all, though, that's the problem. The Z-fighters have racked in enough good will with King Kai and have enough loopholes to come back from the dead with and the motivation to do so that I can't even remotely see what would keep them in the afterlife instead of trying anything they can to come back and protect the Earth.

The only real reason I can think of is that Toriyama needed a dystopian future and just has the heroes go off wherever into the afterlife to let Gohan deal with it himself. Basically writing everyone as a borderline amoral a***** which isn't surprising since that's more or less they're default these days.

Again, it might not be Kaio's call. He may just be following the rules put in place by Enma, or whoever makes the rules in Otherworld. The Artificial Humans are a man-made, self contained threat. Because of this, Kaio may not be allowed to help them.

The Androids being strong enough to fight the good guys isn't necessarily a problem for me. My problem lies in the fact that the 17 and 18s rampage even last a quarter as long as it did because of Namek. There's no way in hell that everyone in Otherworld wouldn't come up with a plan to spend a few years training their asses off, learning things like the Kaio-ken then using the Dragon Balls of New Namek with some communication aid from King Kai to revive the fallen Z-fighters and repair the Lookout if 17 and 18 somehow destroyed it.

From that point on, even if Piccolo is the only one left from the revived fighters who can stand up to them, he can still take Gohan into the ROSAT a couple of times and both would return infinitely more powerful than before. Hell, the dead Z-fighters could even use the Dragon Balls to teleport the still living Gohan to Otherworld so he can train too. And this is if Goku fails to convince Yemma to let Vegeta keep his body.

There's simply no way the Androids should've gone on unchallenged in the Future Timeline, New Namek along with King Kai's communication ability makes it impossible for everyone but Goku to stay dead. That's why the future timeline perfectly represents why the Android & Cell Saga doesn't work at all, the good guys have too many viable loopholes to abuse for them to eve realistically lose.
There are multiple factors to consider:

1. King Kai is busy. This guy has to watch over a whole galaxy which is a humongous task. He cannot afford to go behind schedule for the sake of a single planet. Why else do you think he was angry at Goku after he destroyed his planet? This means that he wouldn't have time to look for New Namek because he'd be too busy with other planets. Also, King Kai never found the exact location of New Namek when he was searching for it, only the proximity of where he can sense Namekian Ki. Remember that Goku's instant transmission only worked because he's able to teleport to the Ki signature's exact location after he senses it. Outta space is too far wide to be able to pinpoint the location of a planet. Also, unlike Nappa and Vegeta were Goku gave King Kai a rough estimate for him to figure out where to search (Which is further proved by King Kai asking Goku how much time until the Saiyans arrived) King Kai had no leads for Namek.

2. Goku cannot be wished back due to dying of natural causes. The only Saiyan who could be wished back is Gohan. It's unsure whether or not he was strong enough to face the Androids, but it wouldn't matter because of the reasons I mentioned earlier.

3. Bulma doesn't have a Spaceship that could travel to New Namek. All the spaceships they had that could travel there were gone by that point.

With all this considered it's easy to see that timelines like Future Trunks' make perfect sense. Not to mention that it's possible for timelines where they did find Namek and wished back Gohan to exist since there are an infinite number of timelines. That's the beauty of the timelines of the arc.

1. King Kai doesn't do jack squat on his planet except drive his car and hang out with Bubbles. Not that it's his own fault, he's so pathetically weak he probably can't do anything even if he tried. Also, he can go wherever he likes in the afterlife so what exactly is stopping him from his non-existent duties to go tell Goku what happened (especially since he can likely sense everyone on Earth being murdered) and find a more suitable location for him to directly contact the inhabitants of New Namek from. Hell, he can even arrange for Goku to beat up whatever fighters the other quadrant Kai's have if that's what it takes to get their help.

But okay, let's say for the sake of argument he has another, bigger crisis to deal with: he can still help Earth. In fact, him helping out Earth so the Z-fighters can aid in whatever other crisis is out there would be in his best interest. By giving the fighters in the afterlife training and helping them come back to life, he's basically securing himself TWO Super Saiyan's (Vegeta and Gohan) and a Super Namekian to beat up any problem he might have elsewhere or in the future.

2. I know Goku can't come back, everyone else can though so there's no reason why Goku and King Kai couldn't have found a way to do so with the options and free time they've got left. Hell, even if Goku couldn't keep his body, King Kai can still intervene in this matter regardless.

3. Doesn't matter, they've got King Kai and/or Goku at their disposal from the afterlife both of whom can put in a good word for everyone to keep their bodies (except maybe Vegeta) and contact people the inhabitants of New Namek.

So no, the future timeline is still bulls*** as far as I'm concerned and if there really IS an alternate timeline where everyone isn't both an a***** and a moron, then why couldn't the same happen here?

Overseeing is just that, overseeing. They don't directly deal with any problem unless its brought to their attention or is too great a threat to simply leave unchecked.

As for the others, Piccolo and Gohan are all you need to beat 17 and 18. By contacting New Namek, you can easily bring Gohan to the check-in station at which point you can simply have him, Piccolo and Goku train like crazy for at least the same time period they did in preparation during the regular timeline. There's no way Piccolo and Gohan are leaving there without learning Kaio-ken, Super Saiyan and maybe even in the IT.

Using the wishes of New Namek again, you can revive Piccolo, the humans and Vegeta, return everyone back to Earth at which point Gohan and Piccolo can simply train more in the ROSAT if it's really necessary and boom, the Androids are f*cked. With this amount of training, Piccolo wouldn't even need to fuse with Kami to beat 17 and 18.

By contacting New Namek, you can easily bring Gohan to the check-in station at which point you can simply have him, Piccolo and Goku train like crazy for at least the same time period they did in preparation during the regular timeline. There's no way Piccolo and Gohan are leaving there without learning Kaio-ken, Super Saiyan and maybe even in the IT.

Using the wishes of New Namek again, you can revive Piccolo, the humans and Vegeta, return everyone back to Earth at which point Gohan and Piccolo can simply train more in the ROSAT if it's really necessary and boom, the Androids are f*cked. With this amount of training, Piccolo wouldn't even need to fuse with Kami to beat 17 and 18.
I'm pretty sure overseeing also involves managing the galaxy to some degree. And there are literally limitless possibilities in that regard. At the end of the day, King Kai's job is a very busy one and because of that they didn't get wished back. Not to mention how King Kai emphasised his importance during his rant on Goku for destroying his planet.

Like what everyone else is saying, a lot of DBZ fans are hypocrites TBH.

They will bash anything that's slightly wrong with GT's plot/powerscalling but they'll give anything with Toriyama's stamp of approval a free pass for any mistake he makes, accept it as canon, and praise his decision. Honestly, if AT claimed that he was the one who would wrote GT's plot, people would praise GT like it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not even defending GT here because it's far from perfect, i'm only pointing out the double standards some DBZ fans have regarding "canon" and "non-canon".

This is one thing that I absolutely hate about the fanbase.
