South park is the single counterexample to "the show was better before it got political" being a dogwhistle.

Nihilism isn’t only a political position, but I’m pretty sure I agree with that. There was a time when the show was interested in presenting the experience of childhood.

I've been watching Dragon Ball and its constantly surprising how its such a different thing than what Z forward turned into. The part that did not age well is that like 80% of the humor is Haha, Sexual Harassment.

I always enjoyed the fact that Toriyama decided to take his lighthearted karate sex comedy comic and then go “you know what, he’s an alien now, and his long lost brother is going to kill him a couple chapters in.”

And surprisingly the worst of it isn't even the Master Roshi stuff. https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Bulma%27s_Bad_Day The single worst episode of dragonball as far as that stuff goes. Also, the dubs avoid this, but the subs don't, but a whole lot of the jokes at General Blue's expense come from the fact that he is (in Japanese) gay.

The manga handles the fact that he's gay infinitely better than the anime. Holy poo poo the anime

BrainDance posted:And surprisingly the worst of it isn't even the Master Roshi stuff. The two-parter Dr Slump crossover also had General Blue being infatuated with Obotchaman, a robot who appears to be a young boy. I think the dub changed it so that Blue thought he was his long lost little brother or something.

I would just like to remind everyone that team four star exists still, even though they've wrapped up with DBZ. Their HFIL shorts are amazing.

I watched the original Fast and the Furious last night. For how the later movies get better at it, I had forgotten how ridiculously racist the first one is. I also had forgotten how Vince's jealousy about Brian and Mia is primarily expressed through 2001 homophobia and slurs.

Any time I need a lol I remember that the big race event at the end of the first movie was called "Race Wars" Says it all really Edit: oh another poorly aged thing: they made movies 4-6 take place between 2&3, but in the third movie everyone is using regular flip phones to Livestream the big drift race at the end (lol) but then in later movies everyone has smartphones. I don't blame them for wanting Han in more movies though, he was the only good character in Tokyo Drift. Humerus has a new favorite as of 20:23 on Apr 3, 2022 |

The director originally wanted to call the movie Race Wars (apparently the real name of the actual racing event that the movie is inspired by?) and the producers had to explain to him why that was a bad idea.

The Race Wars are only a small part of the movie, with the ongoing race war subplot overlapping the Race Wars.

In 7, they return to the Race Wars, letting the audience know that Hector continues to war in the races, unaffected by the conclusion of the race war that seems to have had the wiped out the Vietnamese crew.
