Thinking about how Goku's almost complete lack of socialization in his formative childhood years affected the way he treats, sees and acts around people but I'm too lazy to write it out can someone extract the essay from my head and into words on the screen

#venlapost #you really can't blame him for any of his inappropriateness in early dragon ball at all he's a child with practically no human contact #who's only human contact died a few years ago stunting his social growth #so that at age 12-13 you really can't view his actions through the same lens you would an average 12-13-year-old kid's #and while I'm inclined to think that a lot of who goku is is more or less intrinsic #i also like to think that like. he literally did interact with people other than his hermit grandpa until he met bulma at 13 #and maybe just maybe that plays a part in how fucked up for the lack of a better word how relationships are sometimes #you can't convince me with the 'he's a saiyan' excuse because vegeta isn't like that and he only arrived to earth as an adult #nature vs nurture blah blah blah nature isn't interesting to me #this is a flawed reading. but anyway
