Comment on Why are Clark and Lois such terrible people and parents in Superman & Lois?

A) You clearly don’t have kids.
B) If everything they did as parents was perfect, people would have felt it was unreal, more so than even the super powers part.
C) It’s a TV Show, conflict and drama keeps people paying attention.
D) Homelander… you’re a fucking idiot.

If I had kids, I know how to respect boundaries. If they made it clear they don’t like me or don’t want me around and told me to leave them alone, I could—I wouldn’t harass them and stalk them, because I’m not a predator like how they wrote Clark. Secondly, if I was a superhero, I couldn’t get mad at my kids for lying and keeping secrets from me when I do the same thing.
“C) It’s a TV Show, conflict and drama keeps people paying attention.”
There is nothing wrong with drama and conflict, but when it’s forced, it’s just bad drama for the sake of drama. When it’s nonsensical, it’s just bad writing, and it makes the characters who I’m supposed to like unlikable. If Jon tells Lois to her face, ‘Fuck you, I don’t like or care about you and don’t want you in my life,’ and Lois continues to force herself on Jon (which comes off as predatory), and Jon is verbally cruel toward her, then she deserves it.”

I’m laughing so hard right now.
You’re so idealistic. When you grow up and join the real world you’ll realize that what you said was funny too.

So you think parents should harass, stalk and their children ignore their consent and boundaries which is basically rape? So they should rape their kids? Is that what you are saying?

You seriously just jumped from parenting to rape in the same thought. Dude, you should talk to a professional.

Now THAT’S a stupid question.
Good Job.
The answer to your first question is yes.
Children don’t get to set their own boundaries, that’s why we consider them children. Once they’re ready we call them adults.
If I allowed them to set their own boundaries, they’d probably already be dead. They get some pretty stupid ideas sometimes.
