Fathers STILL get the rough treatment in media, from being portrayed as too old to understand the modern day, feckless, violent, cold and just plain absent.
And we all see the fatherless behaviour that in reality causes...
So to celebrate a day that often gets overlooked to the female equivalent, what are some of the best representations of fathers you've seen in media?
Anime My daughter left the nest and Returned an S Rank adventurer: Belgrieve or 'the red ogre' is a perfect example of a positive role model I can think of in Anime. He's strict but fair, patient when he needs to be but not a push over, knows when to be emotional and when to think with a clear head. He's such a good role model that even former enemies switch to following his leads and former friends who fell off the right path immediately get back on the path just knowing He's around.
**As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll use my appraisal skill to Rise in the world **: for the time he's on screen, Raven shows he's not just a great warrior and lord but an excellent father, encouraging his son when he can, traching him the right values and when it matters most, just talking to him when he needed it and that attitude extended to all the other members of the cast.
Western Media: I think the diluge of propaganda over the years is making my mind a bit blank on this unfortunately. Had to delve into my brain for this:
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990s): James Avery played uncle Philip PERFECTLY, he was the greatest role model of a good Black father figure so no wonder they character assassinated him in the 'remake'
What are you're picks as to save it going to long, I should mention there are quite a few 'regression father stories' in Manhwa too where a father who makes mistakes raising their child (usually daughter) regresses in time to raise them properly, it's a genre to itself at this point.
In games there's Telltale's The Walking Dead. "Season" 1 and 2.
Kenny is a loving father that does everything to protect his family. When he loses them it's absolutely devastating, but he goes on to find a new family where he's a loving husband and creates a safe, happy environment during an apocalypse. When the apocalypse takes that he (depending on your choices) adopts the girl and that's the happy ending.
Or you can side with the woke psycho bitch and her and the girl live a miserable life in a self-imposed concentration camp.
Season 1 was written with a lot of care to have natural reactions to your choices, with each dialog having 6-12 different versions depending on choices and is actually a good story. Season 2 was written by woke-tards and is objectively terrible, but like in other media where they write the hero characters as villains and vice versa here they accidentally make siding with the family man the good endings.
I love these games as a personality test. If you didn't side with Kenny the whole time then you have leftist tendencies and need to reevaluate life.
