I rage. There's an entire episode of Dragon Ball Z dedicated to Goku's Wife trying to force Piccolo into learning how to drive a car so he can run errands for Gohan, and it's a disaster. Meanwhile they can load a cart and fly with it. Also Bulma's been driving all manner of vehicles ground & air with Capsule tech in many episodes. Naruto is a borderline feudal society, despite having computers the population largely transports goods via ship and wooden carts, while ninja teleport around or ride on freaky talking animals or magic items. It takes days or weeks to visit another area of the country or another city, cars would be great but the tech isn't there(no trains either). One Piece is fucking boats. 98% of that world is isolated islands you can walk across in a day or two, but have to ride boats for days/weeks/months to get anywhere.I found a reason for Null to not like r/FuckCars even more. They like Anime
Nothing about his examples are relevant to "hurr zoomers don't need cars" because they're present and/or just incompatible with the world. LOTR would have been been a very different story if Frodo was driving cross-country to destroy the One Ring but nothing about it screams "cars bad" with their absence.
