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 was a big fan of the works of HP Lovecraft when I was a teenager.

Before he died, Lovecraft had some regrets for the horrid racist shit he said in his works before that time.

When I was in highschool band, we performed a piece by a composer named Percy Granger. He was so racist against Italians that he refused to use standard musical notation. But it was all stuff like "Fasterer" or "louderly".

Also, we have old black and white nudes of the guy. Man was innovating posting hog, during breaks from hating Italians.
