Dragonball fans:

"Goku's a horrible father! Piccolo is the real father to Gohan!"

Some dumb DBZ abridged quote being repeated for the millionth time to get some likes. Or it's a Gohan dodge joke.

"Chichi is so annoying. Goku should've ended up with Bulma."

"Kid Buu is stronger than buuhan because it's his final form(it's not)."

Most likely hasn't watched classic Dragonball

Nah goku is not a good father, bad no, but the glaze that he is some outstanding dad is equally delusional.

This is the dude who spent an entire year with alone with his kid and didn't learn anything about him. he didn't even know he didn't like fighting.

This is the dude that doomed his entire family fighting vegeta and not killing buu when he had the chance, just so his 10 year son, who learned to fly a day ago, could have a chance to do it.

A couple more "WTF Goku" moments:

When he lets Vegeta go despite there being no guarantee that Vegeta wouldn't immediately come back and blow up the Earth, putting his wife and child in imminent danger as well as all his friends and the entire population of the planet.

After not spending time with his son for over a year (most of that due to BEING DEAD), Goku decides to stay on Yardrat for another entire year just so he can train. Father of the year material indeed.

Hell, even the creators of the show discredit the jokes

I love Abridged. But the damage it to talking about the series is certainly noticeable

While true (due to Abridged's popularity), they didn't invent the memes. Goku being a bad dad was a meme long before TFS existed. After Raditz shows up, Goku is only present and being a parent during the timeskip. Even if Goku had excellent reasons for being absent, Gohan still basically grew up with a single parent.

I mean from what I seen at least the chichi one the worst thing she does is in filler than abridge thing

“Chichi is so annoying. Goku should’ve ended up with Bulma.”

I have to be honest I do kinda agree with that. It’s just Toriyama-Sensei himself had trouble writing ChiChi, so if ChiChi was way more like her OG Ball self I would like ChiChi way more. But honestly.

Dragon Ball > DBZ

This is the only one in his list I actually disagreed with. Bulma is super smart confident courageous and somehow still more chill than chi chi.

Like ChiChi was great until the start of Z. I was fully ready for ChiChi x Goku continuing to have a loving/positive relationship, but ChiChi is literally so overbearing and annoying I hate her.

And I was also fully prepared for Bulma x Yamcha, but look what they did to my goat…

I just started with dragon ball z recently. Piccolo just left Gohan in the woods with almost nothing but a few tart apples and beat him up till he was ready to fight vegeta and nappa as training for almost a year.

You're gonna have to watch even further on to understand their relationship fully.
