It's like how Frieza is a genocidal monster, but he's the kind of character people love to hate because he's an enjoyable villain, while Chi-Chi is a housewife who wants her son to have an education, but she's so shrill and abrasive about it that nobody likes her.

Unlike fictional War criminals, shrill and abrasive people who get in your face are too real, and actually annoy people outside the television screen.

Aah yes, because war criminals and dictators are really something that are fictional and aren't easy to find in real life.

I think what they meant is you don't have to deal with a dictator or war criminal on a daily basis like you might with an annoying person in real life.

Likely your only interaction with dictators/war criminals irl is watching the news.

Exactly like that. Especially considering when watching dragonball at a young age you're probably thinking chi chinis just like your parents stopping your fun to study lol

To be honest, when I was a little kid I had a crush on Chi Chi and Bulma. As an adult I find them both annoying (Bulma less so, but still). Although I still found Chi Chi annoying as a kid too.

Shonen is also written for adolescent males.

Chi-chi represents their mothers, sisters, teachers and girlfriends telling them to be responsible instead of having fun.
