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.

that bit from one piece where sanji gets forcefemmed by all the drag queens who it keeps going out of its way to remind us are manly and ugly fucked me up in ways i didn't realize until a lot later

also, though i always thought it was bad, the real extent of eva's misogyny didn't sink in until later

Swords. Knights were landlords and cops combined. Samurai were the same. So all the cool fantasy movies and samurai movies are just copaganda. Swords themselves were pretty much only good for rich people to use on poor people anyway

Happy Tree Friends. I first want to say I never enjoyed this shit, but in college I went to this dude's apartment with my roommate to smoke weed, and we're just sitting there sort of fucked up, and he goes "wanna watch Happy Tree Friends?" Neither me nor my roommate had heard of it, so he puts it on, and goddamn why the fuck anyone would want to watch that shit, much less watch that shit stoned, is beyond me. Immediate vibe killer.

Of course my roommate and our friend were literally laughing out loud, and I'm sitting there stoned reevaluating my friendship with these people (probably a good thing in hindsight). And these were dudes in college, I think we were sophomores and he was a senior. The humor is like kindergarten-tier, like those are the "kill Barney" jokes an obnoxious 5 year old boy makes. I never thought those jokes were funny then, but it's one thing for an immature child to make an edgy joke like that, it's another thing for a graduating senior to consider the same edgy non-joke that only exists for shock value and nothing else, made over and over ad infinitum across numerous videos, is the height of humor. "Oh you guys are gonna like this one, he dies in a crazy way in a second. Oh! Did you see that?" Dude was rewatching videos he had already seen.

Needless to say I stopped hanging out with these people.

I was at a friend's birthday party and the group had decided to put Happy Tree Friends on, but then decided against it because they knew I was vegetarian and I would be upset by animals getting hurt, which was in a sort of out of touch adolescent way very touching to me.

Being that considerate toward you sounds downright wholesome by teenager standards.

Happy Tree Friends was gratingly terrible to me and I eventually fell out of contact with anyone I knew that was really into it. I think it's the same crowd of edgelords that like to chant about how insufficiently edgy things are "FOR BABIES." frothingfash

How I Met Your Mother. Neal Patrick Harris's character is a total creep. Even Ted is a bit of a sex pest.

and the mysterious island is a fucking parody of the west and he never realized.
