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.

I still have a couple books I got Brian Jacques to sign when I was a kid. Haven't read any of them as an adult though

Yeah I have a signed copy of The Legend of Luke myself. I still love the books, tbh, I just would never suggest that a kid read whichever one has the Veil character (the one that goes whole-hog in explicitly endorsing what I'll call species essentialism). Apparently that was Outcast of Redwall (which as I recall wasn't a very fun book anyway).
