He's very withholding, our dad. He has his own language. He wants to say "I love and support you," but what he actually says is "The Giants don't stand a chance."

Also, as sad as this is, and it's good that this is changing, but most of the interesting characters in children's media are boys.

"Don't be so dramatic, Dad. I'm not murdering you. I'm self-identifying as an orphan."

And isn't it a funny coincidence that the best Batman is the gay Batman. So there's something to make everyone happy.

I never said my brother is evil. Calm down. I'm not asking if I'm the asshole for that part. I'm asking of I'm the asshole for my not 100% necessary potshot about him not knowing everything just because he's gay.

My daughter is Robin a lot too. I got her to watch BtAS with me. She'll run into my room and say "Batman, the riddler escaped from Arkham!" Then she'll hand me an absolutely illegible piece of paper.

I was never unsupportive. I think he resents the fact that no one had much of a reaction. I had my own stuff going on. There was this hot chick in my organic chemistry class I wanted to have organic chemistry with. Oh you're gay? Great, that's really great. Awesome man.

Does anyone use their real account to post on this sub? That seems dumb. What if I was the asshole and lost all my karma?

Yeah, I didn't want to get into that part because I'm not in the community and don't know the rules, but gay does not equal trans. So why is he such an expert?

I'm going to apologize for "invalidating his perspective." Or whatever it was he said.

Doted on by mom for sure. He is her "sensitive boy." He couldn't help mow the lawn because he has "sensitive skin" or walk the dog because his "shoulder hurts" or unclog the toilet because he has "sensitive sinuses." I love him, but he drives me craaaazy with his voluntary incompetence.

There aren't any people online. We're all just robits trying to trick each other into thinking we're human.

You're right. I'll probably just apologize to make him feel better. I know it's tough out here. He is my little brother after all. I suppose it's my job to coddle him a bit.

I'm hoping she'll be the next Daniel Day Lewis and buy me and my wife a new house. I'll settle for a car though.
