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.

    Damn, it just gets worse the deeper you dig. Double deeper-sadness

    spoilerYeah, there's some games I like that hold themes and acts I despise and condemn, but still find enjoyment in.

    The important thing is to recognize the harmful reality and openly call it out.

    Contrary to what some treat defenders imply when they blow up and chant "touch grass" at critics of their treats, it really is possible to observe, recognize, and accept problematic parts of the things we consume while still enjoying them afterward. zizek-ok
