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.

hg wells' "the time machine", I recently went on the wikis because i thought of it and found:

"muh workers le ebil subhuman bad" (morlocks)

"muh leisure = gommunism = slipperly slope degeneration" (eloi)

"britain man good" (wrong)

Fascist garbage, as expected from the imagination of a man born and bred in Great Shitain, pea-munching colonial fucks.

Very similar issues in Brave New World.

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

Also a bunch of the edgy flash animation on, like, Newgrounds and YouTube back in the day.

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

Star Wars Episode 1, loved it as a tween didn't realize until I was an adult, kind of really racist.
