    Still better than early Dragon Ball. Hoo boy, I rewatched it recently and I’d forgotten how everyone treated Bulma as if she were a prostitute

      I’ve only seen bits of the original, is the complaint that they literally try to buy sexual favors from her or that, because she isn’t a prostitute, it’s inappropriate to assault her on a constant basis?

        She appears and acts 12–14, ostensibly is 16 according to the wiki; though kid Goku is supposed to be 12 somehow, so the canonical age numbers really don’t make sense.

        Overall, just a lot of gross sexual stuff targeted towards her. Practically every male character she meets either aggressively flirts with her, or straight up sexually harasses her. As just one example, Goku only gets the Flying Nimbus from Master Roshi in exchange for Bulma full-body flashing the old man with no undergarments. Early Dragon Ball has a lot of really uncomfortable moments lol
