For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.

Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

    Oh boy, I started playing through the visual novel 2 years ago and I was kinda intrigued by the plot at the start, but as it went on the misogyny got so freaking bad that I quit and wrote an entire hexbear rant post about it. The people who made Steins;Gate absolutely do not see women as real people. I remember there is a scene where Kurisu is at the main character's place, they argue about something (I forgot the details) but the conclusion is that in order to get Kurisu to do something, the protagonist and his buddy basically threaten her with sexual harrassment ("You're alone in here with the 2 of us wink wink") and it's played so casually, and Kurisu's reaction is basically just "ugh, fine" instead of being fucking horrified and never stepping in a room with these people ever again.

    Anime frequently objectifies and infantitilizes women, but Steins;Gate shows outright contempt for its female characters. It hurts them, degrades them and "puts them in their place" at every opportunity and then pats itself on the back as those same female characters come crawling back to their women-hating protagonist because the authors are red pill creeps who believe those stupid females secretly love it when men treat them like dirt.

    Fuck Steins;Gate.
