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.

You could also say the ”eww, a boy wearing a dress” stuff is pretty questionable. That movie is still a guilty pleasure for me because it's such a good time capsule of 1995.

    Same I just rewatched it last year and will probably do so again soon. The stuff I mentioned bothers me and will continue to do so, but for me it’s not enough to ruin the whole movie just due to nostalgia. A lot of old top gear is like that for me too: extremely problematic, more so than Hackers, but I still adore the Vietnam special and many of the others despite how problematic they can be.
