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.

There's a much worse song that is just straight up about how the indigenous people are "barely even human". That's a line in the song!

It's pretty obvious the audience isn't supposed to agree with that. It's still bad in how it both sides's it, but the point of that line is to depict the people saying it as bad and racist.

Oh I know, but kids just latch onto things and sing them everywhere.
