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.

The Mighty Boosh had absurdity with a lot less "that person wearing a dress is bad and absurd lol" and also a lot less "the world and everything in it (that has drifted away from British colonial reign) is stupid, unlike me, the jaded smart snarky asshole." It wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it.
