In fact, nudity was used to symbolize that Goku was young and innocent. In Japan, a lack of sexual knowledge and urges is seen as a sign of youth and innocence. And there are several scenes in the original Dragon Ball where Goku is clearly confused when he encounters women in various states of undress.
Some people sexualize feet, hair, and even stuff like mailboxes. Everything is sexualized by someone. If we only made media that no one found sexual, media simply couldn’t exist.
Also, being nude is the natural state of a person and shouldn’t be sexual.
Is defending pedophilia REALLY the stance you want to take?
If some rich asshole buys an island and brings all his rich asshole friends to the island, and they spend their time sexualizing mailboxes? I mean…not my thing, but I’m not angry. I’m not judging them. I’d be a bit confused, but I also wouldn’t seek answers.
And feet? Well, that can go two ways. If the feet are either fake, or attatched to a consenting adult? That’s fine. Again, not MY thing, but nobody is being hurt here. If the feet were either severed, or attatched to a non-consenting adult? Then we have a problem.
But there is no outcome I can fathom where child nudity in media is ok. Sure, not EVERYONE would sexualize it, but some WOULD sexualize it. THATS the problem.
I see no avenues where someone sexualizing a mailbox leads to rape, or worse, child rape. Because at NO POINT can a child ever consent. All child sex is child rape. So if you know 10% of your audience IS sexualizing your media, and 90% isn’t, you have to ask yourself “Is it worth it to leave this in?”
And this then turns into a case of “this is why we can’t have nice things”. The 10% ruin it for the 90%. Then you remember the thing being discussed is child nudity, realize it’s not a loss at all taking that away. It’s not a nice thing you’re losing.
So from that perspective I REALLY have to question why you’re so insistant on enabling pedophiles.
It went the way most things do that leave Dragonball, Toriyama didnt like to draw them.
He dropped the child nudity, the animals could have been seen as a beastiality thing, so dropped as well. Stuff just also became not acceptable.
As someone who’s never seen this show (or most other animes)…THE WHAT?? !!!
Some people don’t actually sexualize all nudity.

But some people DO sexualize child nudity. Thats the problem.
