Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

I want to chain this guy up and forcibly give him a basic literature class

If you did that, you'd have to somehow prevent him from chanting "DEATH OF THE AUTHOR!" all the way through it to justify whatever he already wanted to believe about anything he consumed. smuglord
