This thread is just about giving ideas that are contrary to commonly held beliefs. Nothing really too serious. Just present how you view things differently.
Something that have been a thorn in my side for the longest period of time. The idea that Goku is a bad person [https://www.google.com/search?client=avast&q=Goku+is+a+bad+person]. A lot of people cite his bad parenting, his self centered ways, and his lust for fighting above all else as reasons why he's a bad person. I think they are completely wrong.
I think the entire reality around Goku are bad people, and they try to spin it onto Goku.
A few things to get in order. First, He has had a Brain Injury that was severe enough to change his personality [https://screenrant.com/dragon-ball-goku-body-secrets-powers-abilities-facts/] (scroll to number 1). Two, The Flying Nimbus Cloud [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Nimbus]. You literally can not ride it if you don't have a pure heart. And for those who think that since he grew up, he might have become a jerk... Number three: The Spirit Bomb [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Spirit_Bomb]. An attack that can only be used by someone with a Pure Heart. Which also answers the question why no one else uses the technique.
After his Adoptive Grandfather dies, the next person he meets is Bulma... a woman who tries to shoot him, steal his only keepsake of his Grandfather (the only person who he loved and took care of him out of the kindness of his heart), and then manipulates Goku into coming along to get the dragon balls because she knew she couldn't take it away from him.
From that point on, everyone Goku meets tries to kill him or trick him... or have him fight people who have no issue killing him for their own benefit. The only person that takes him in for any amount of time is Master Roshi. Master Roshi, however, took this as a chance to get a young boy to bring him a hot woman to ogle.
No one tries to teach Goku about the world. About education. I don't even rightly know how he knows how to read. No one actually teaches him about the world around him, they just yell at him when he doesn't know what they had to learn themselves with families and people who cared about them. People only seem to care about him when they need saving.
Goku is a bad father? He doesn't know what family is really. He doesn't even know what a healthy relationship is. Everyone he is friends with has tried to either kill him or use him. There is no exception to this. Even Trunks took out his sword and tested him to see if he could trust the fate of the world on his shoulders.
And Let's be real, if Goku wasn't as strong as Trunks needed him to be, he would have cut Goku up.
Sure, people like Goku. But no one cares about Goku. In terms of his actual well being. People yell that he should be a better father. We're talking about the boy who thought Marriage was a type of food, and that didn't stop his eventual wife from saying "...Oh shit, cut my weird little girl dreams, this boy needs far more help than I thought".
Also, that doesn't stop her from yelling at him to get a job. Doing what? He was trained for what? A Lawyer? A Doctor? A police officer? No one taught him how to be a human, yet everyone gets on his case that he's not like us.
That's the entire world failing Goku. Not the other way around.
Anyway, that's my Devil's Advocate. You got any?
