[FFX] Not people arguing about how Jecht was such a great dad and how you totally learn this from the spheres and dissidia so it totally means he's a super dad and that makes everything he did better /scowls at feed and throws it in the trash
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
jecht is a complicated dad, but he's not a good one
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
like it's unquestionable that he loved his son, but that does not make him a good father
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
like being soft about tidus when tidus wasn't there to witness it or be part of it does not erase verbal abuse or neglect, y'all

L'fuckingChaim
he was NOT a great dad
L'fuckingChaim
he underwent character development that would have made him a better dad if he'd ever seen his son again after it happened
ʀᴏᴜʀᴋᴇ
did they play the same game as me
ʀᴏᴜʀᴋᴇ
tidus's parents were NOT GOOD PARENTS.... that's a Factoid
ʀᴏᴜʀᴋᴇ
they definitely had a kid by accident and didn't know what to do about it
N ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ◈◇◇
yeah, he loved his kid but had no idea how to he a dad imo
prince alarming
I don't understand fandom. fandom was a mistake
L'fuckingChaim
I don't. know where such an opinion would COME from?
L'fuckingChaim
like, back when FFX fandom was more alive, I was the one writing Jecht shipfics, and it wasn't like that!
L'fuckingChaim
he was not a good father!
Un(t)sundered
yeah, like. he might be trying (sometimes) in Dissidia? but that still doesn't make him a good dad
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
I love him specifically BECAUSE he's garbage at being a dad
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
he was the first neglectful rather than hateful bad parent I got to experience in media and, formative.
Ziri✖O
Right!!!
Ziri✖O
Like these kids legit think the Dissidia interactions and the spheres suddenly make him a Great Parent and I'm like "fam that is not how that works"
Ziri✖O
Mind you I've never played Dissidia because I don't own a PSP or whatever platform they were released on
Un(t)sundered
varied, at this point
Un(t)sundered
at least if you count Opera Omnia and NT

what is it about fandom and bad opinions about parents?
A Grinning DM
just like, in general?
Ziri✖O
I don't know
Ziri✖O
also i can't do gatcha games I have discovered this
Ziri✖O
it causes Problems with me so once I find out a game's gatcha based I avoid like the plague
