What's something you used to like as a kid that you now, as an adult, realize had some pretty fucked up messaging? (hexbear.net)

For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.

Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

Looking back, with the political education I've had, a case could be made that Paw Patrol contains some subtle pro-police messaging. Can't be too sure tho.

Paw Patrol is among the most egregious; but as someone who is very involved in checking out what my kids watch, copaganda is pervasive in a lot of TV shows these days.

One of my kids in school was just assigned to read a novel called Witness Protection :(

On the other hand there's apparently an "ecology dog"

And a disabled dog

Unlike the other pups, Rex has a disability with his back legs and is unable to walk with them, so he uses a high-tech dog wheelchair to get around.
