What is striped timeline time travel?
I have never heard of the term either, but if were taking the DBZ timetravel as an example I think what hes talking about is consistant time travel. Trunks is unable to change the past, instead he creates different parallel universes each time he travels in time, the changes he makes become part of the history of that timeline ie: they always happened. Where he smacks the Novikov principle on the head however is when he later returns to visit the same timeline and makes more changes, also his time machine would have to be able to travel between alternate universes for him to return to his own timeline. What I think is more likely in case of DBZ timetravel is that it is also known as bugger-weve-written-ourselves-in-a-corner-lets-have-a-timetravel-arc timetravel.
