"chichi is not a bad character", you're right, she's worse. Chichi is a 90% garbage Character

This character by herself is annoying, dysfunctional & stupid, but harmless. It's why I haven't said anything til now, she's a cartoon karen, one of many, who gives a shit right?

The problem is-- she wouldn't sting so much as a fictional existence if there weren't people actually trying to rationalize her toxicity as someone else's fault.

THAT'S where you lose me.
This kind of shit is how we get Karens in real life, excuses, zero accountability.

Chichi is one of THE biggest anime Karens of the 80s-90s, and just because she's screaming for a (reason) doesn't mean she's not a bad character.

Just like Goku (the house husband version) screaming in her face & demanding she be around more-- wouldn't be okay if she was off dying saving the world every other week, but you see--

if it was reversed, it wouldn't be so cute would it? (Toxic Western culture /society convinced me that being emotionally abusive & toxic is okay ONLY when it's a woman doing it, amiright? Pretty sure that's really what the problem is here) whipped dogs defending the archetype of what they've been conditioned to think is normal. It's okay when a woman is doing it.

But ya'll not tryna have that conversation though. Headass.

It's not her entirely, she's fiction, just tired of the excuses coming from the NON-FICTION side of the universe.

And if your best defense is scapegoating Goku at every turn, & never holding her accountable, you don't have an argument. Period.

You have a painted picture in your head that you want to be true, you like her confidence, toughness, and assertion as a loving-strict mom, fine-- yet the problem is you're willing to ignore the issues just to defend her for the sake of defending her.

That's where your entire case crumbles under it's own weight.

Chichi is a good mom & housewife--- garbage wife, shitty as fuck person, toxic as hell existence. Who can't seem to piece together that (no planet = no gohan), she's an idiot.

Just because she didn't leave doesn't mean she's a good wife, there's a lot of mfs (male & female) with emotionally abusive partners that DIDN'T leave but are still overbearing and abusive.

Are the abusive people then good spouses because THEY didn't leave even though they had a good reason?

No, the answer is no. So fuck off with that bullshit reasoning.

Chichi is a good mom, tough lady, bad/insufferable/childish/infantile character, garbage. Plain and simple.

When you're throwing televisions at your father & kicking him out of your house because he (slapped you? or Harmed you?) no: He told you the fucking truth & then comforted you after the fact, what a bitch of a father right? = Chichi is garbage
