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.

On giving it some thought now that I'm older, I realise that Goku is a terrible father, husband, friend and person with absolutely no consistent ideology or even heroic drive - because he's a fucking golden retriever in a human body who chases fights instead of a ball

    To be the greatest shonen "train to be the best" warrior in pop culture history, he had to be nothing but a shonen "train to be the best" warrior in his goals. Kind of fucked up. It'd be like being the ultimate parkour expert that only did parkour at the expense of everything and everyone else, nonstop.
