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.

Yeah, 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.
