No, but when that involves something that either has racist connotations, or often veers headfirst into anti-asian hate, it is incredibly frustrating to then be told "no you're wrong for getting offended at something that is often used for some lovely racist 'ror asians' bullshit."
Speaking as an Asian myself: do you think people are being racist when they make fun of anime? Is that what you're saying here?

I think it's probably less making fun of anime, but more that the speed people will oftentimes race in to start slinging the usual remarks can be dodgy looking.

vegeta is from a society where they grow their babies in tubes and they put those babies into pods and send them out into space to conquer new worlds. the concept of actually being there and raising his child is alien to vegeta

Hypocrisy and an correct criticism aren't mutually exclusive.

In this case it was clearly mocking racists even if it another can still get annoying hearing such nonsense.

Vegeta is at least there for his son. Goku is too busy training or dying (then training) to raise him.

Piccolo is the best dad of all the dads in that show.

by my earth standards, vegeta doesnt care about his kids but he does love his wife very much which is more than i can say for the godless goku

goku is a scoundrel, and i condemn him

Plus he never really got such an opportunity to have anyone be a parent to him, since his dad got killed as a child, and he ended up in indentured servitude to Frieza.

Vegeta learning to be the best dad in the universe is a major part of his character arc in Super.

if goku supposed loves his kids so much why does he spend so much time being dead in a world where it's trivial for him to stop being dead

goku chose to stay dead because he believed his presence was endangering earth and his friends not because he didnt want to raise his kids or be with his wife.

Anyways my crackpot theory is that growing up on social media has made a lot of young people lose their goddamn minds which is why you get arguments over if shipping lumine and childe is a moral failing or whatever.

I suspect part of it is also isolation making people grow more attached to fictional characters and hating seeing them portrayed wrong, and I mean I kinda get it. I don't like that either! But setting out to destroy it via harassment instead of idk, writing a negative review is obviously hosed.

lovely cyberpunk future where instead of direct corporate affiliations it's all gang wars over who writes the Mandalorian the wrong kind of gay.

That is true, he did have a decent justification to stay dead after the Cell saga. Goku suffers from a bit of Tony Stark syndrome, where it turns out either him or people close to him are to blame for the new villain/antagonist.

Don't worry about it.
Shadowrun predicted pandemics, aggressive pushes to further genocide indigenous people, and endless wars for corporate profits, but instead of everyone giving birth to elves and orcs we get mad about whether or not it's okay to want to kiss Hannibal Lecter.

Both Avengers Infinity War and Endgame were beat in the Japanese box office by Detective Conan films releasing around the same time. The only movies that ever seem to beat Conan are literal cultural phenomenons.
