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.

    If a piece of media addresses problematic themes (via fiction or other) it must be in an age-appropriate manner than sets it in context itself and shouldn’t require secondary literature to understand the background.

    I agree, but because that is even suggesting something other than a treat free-for-all the above poster seems against it under the guise of it being a demand “to be perfect and unproblematic in any way.”

    Too many people hold the position that if they as individuals are fine with someone as it is then it is perfectly fine for everyone else regardless of their age or other circumstances. It’s atomized consumerist “I got mine” mentality that is very selfish and counterproductive.

      “to be perfect and unproblematic in any way.”

      This is what I demand of the food I feed my kid, and I don’t see why I should demand less from the media they get to consume either.

        Your choices are anything goes when it comes to what’s in kids’ breakfast (including random chances of lead, arsenic, and botulism) or mandatory nutritional paste with no flavor added. Concern of any kind means you go to the latter choice automatically. CHOOSE. very-intelligent

          I cant tell if you’re joking because those legitimately are the only two options for baby food in the innovative free market. I’m so glad my wife is such a creative and talented cook because our situation would be dire otherwise.
