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.

Maybe you're right; it's been a while since I read the book and was mostly going off of decades-old recollections.

The entire premise of the book is that it has unreliable narrators and human cognition is limited based on the frame of view. The first story is told from the point of view of Princess Irulan and not Herbert. In later books Leto II is able to find the golden path only because he has the cognition of all humans that came before him and is able to see problems from any point of view.
