Okay, here's what I have off the top of my head.
<hr />
Budokai Retcon.

Piccolo being nerfed.

Survival feats being pretty damn inconsistent.

Android 17 giving ki to Genki Dama?

Dabura and his magical non sensing somehow sensing ki abilities.

Goku only turning SSJ in Super Boo's body?
<hr />

Who's got more? I know there are more, but I'm terrible when put on the spot.

Goku calling Boo's Chi a 'lie' but trying to say Gotenks could beat him.

Gohans horribly drawn hair. It's impossible to determine if he was a Ssj or Ssj2.

Dabura being equal to who?! Perfect Cell?! Super Perfect Cell?!

The Kai being scared of Pui Pui & Yakon, but greater than Piccolo (Haha! Dafuq)

1. At Cell Games, SSJ2 was a form exclusive to Gohan, being the culmination of all the build up of Gohan's
character, the child with the hidden enraged power who had the potential to become the greatest fighter in
the universe. The symbolism of Goku passing the torch to his son who surpassed him is great. Even AT said,
in the introduction of Volume 35, that Goku dying was the best ending he could think of.
At Buu Saga, SSJ2 becomes a plain power up that any Saiyan and their mommas can do. Gohan's enraged
power is just mentioned in vague statements and never seen.
Goku surpasses everyone with the introduction of the godlike SSJ3. Then, AT goes like ''i changed my mind,
the new generation must take care of themselves after all'' and reduces the, pages ago, godlike SSJ3 to
trash compared to the fusions'/rituals' powers. Then, AT goes like ''no no, i changed my mind again, Goku
is more cut out than his sons to being a hero'' and Goku is implied to have magically become no1 again,
even though, just some pages ago, his son was implied to be tens of times stronger. Just make your mind,
man!

2. Kaioshin is introduced as a member of a clan who boasts godly power and has a collected nature. Then,
he becomes a crybaby and is surpassed by Base Saiyans. Furthermore, the scene with Gohan drawing the
sword, which no Kaioshin could do, implies no Kaioshin is really strong. Then, once more, Kaioshins are
promoted to divine beings when it is shown how much power Buu gained by absorbing them and the fact
Kid Buu had to resort to absorption in the first place. Lastly, a fused, enahanced Kaioshin is implied to be of
no help against Kid Buu. Make your mind, AT. What are Kaioshins? Wielders of godly power or weak
crybabies?

3. Piccolo was magically haxed over the whole series, because he was AT's favourite and should keep up
with Saiyans' cheating (zenkais/transformations) just by doing lotsa push ups and drinking plenty of mineral
water. Then, at Buu Saga, AT goes like ''gosh, what have i done, i must reduce the slug's power to
something that makes more sense, even if magically nerfing him will actually create further inconsistency''.
So, according to Gohan, Piccolo<Base Saiyans, out of nowhere!

You could say #17 could still donate the human ki he has or some shit I suppose.

Goku turning SSJ could simply be because he knows going full power wouldn't help him either way and this is the form that wastes the least amount of energy while he tries to bluff

1: doesn't have to be a retcon
2: piccolo doesn't have to be nerfed. Nothing suggests he was
3: they're not really that inconsistent. Which ones exactly?
4: 17 isn't fully robotic. He could still have Ki but just not sensible.
5: he can't sense Ki. If you're referring to how he "sensed" the saiyans and Piccolo. He could've juse divined that they would have the energy to revive Boo. He didn't necessarily sense any Ki.
6: Even if he was Ssj3 he was screwed. Regular Ssj uses up less energy and Goku was only trying to bluff while Vegeta grabbed Boo's pod.

Goku against Fat Boo: "We need to fuse!"
Goku against Pure Boo: "Nah, Boo isn't merged with anyone so fusing would be unfair. I want to fight on my own."

The issue with Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 power. He freely transforms at the tournament, but for some reason doesn't use the form again after that even when he could save his friends by defeating Dabura. And also Kaioshin's marvel over Gohan's power during the Boo encounter, yet Gohan was just a Super Saiyan at the time.

SSj Gohan (@Boo) > SSj2 Gohan (@TB)? :troll

I think Gohan transformed out of rage. If someone beat my girlfriend to a pulp, I'd be pretty pissed. However, when he fought Dabura & Boo he wasn't able to tap 'willingly' back into it. It's even stated. There is also a huge differentiating factor made between Gohan being a Super Saiyan 2 and being Enraged during the Boo Saga.

I don't care much for the whole debate, but I never thought Gohan being pissed at the tournament held much ground. Videl had been healed by then, Kibito had nothing to do with her assault, and we see Gohan smiling and having a decent time before his match. It hardly seemed like he was still enraged.

Kibito's ugliness caused Gohan's rage.

He doesn't like Boo either. That's a good find, KP.

Yea the situation should have at least been made more clear. It was muddied up. But yea, we have explanations for most things, the Buu Saga being the most complicated, but still you have to stretch.

Yeah, the squiggly lines are extremely powerful I admit.

It's more that the meat appears medium rare rather than it actually tasting well-done.
