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.

Same with me and Asterix. I grew up with it and I love the story about the Gauls standing up to the Romans, but the rasism and depiction of POC is SHEESH deeper-sadness

Plus apparently there is are a lot of (mostly French boomer) Asterix fans that lament that the new entries in the comic aren't 'politically incorrect' anymore.
