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.

Despite how awful a lot of the content was I still think of Newgrounds and flash animation fondly. It was at least a time when people were creating things. Some of those flash games were pretty innovative.

Maybe that was just the internet in general back then, when everything wasn't just 3 websites

There's a certain charm to those animations that had, like, sprites of Sonic fighting Mega Man with nu-metal playing in the background. They were obviously made by really young people, and from the perspective of ”anyone can create media” that was cool.

I still have a soft spot for Madness Combat.

I was always into the Thing Thing games because I was an edgy loner pseudo goth who liked Marilyn Manson

I liked those cartoons about the goat guy in the forest too. Bitey, I think?
