If HDF decides to go with the sitcom lifestyle choice he needs to do some prep, like developing a couple of exaggerated quirky character traits and also having an instantly-memorable catchphrase that he says all the time. Or maybe he’s already done that.

In addition to HDF denying agency to grownups, there’s an element of “women are dangerous temptresses who need to be kept under control by men for the protection of other men”. As in: “If only I had dated (or married) the Other Woman, she’d have been spoken for and been ‘mine’ and out of the marketplace and none of this would have happened to poor BFF—because if there’s one thing men respect, it’s the ownership rights of other men”.

Was HDF raised Catholic? Because the misogyny and the guilt here remind me of older men I’ve known who were raised Catholic. But of course this kind of stuff isn’t limited to Catholics. It’s patriarchal.

And maybe I’m reading things into this very brief account of what happened.

And yes, wishing wellness to mom and the three children. What a nightmare.

Exactly. Some rando tried to run through a metal detector, so now we urgently need a billion of your dollars to create a new Versailles that will help ensure the safety and comfort, and will stroke the insatiable vanity, of the bloated orange tick who’s sucking the life blood out of your country—so your child can just go ahead and die of something curable because we don’t have a dime to spare for all you non-player characters who are only of relevance insofar as you are feeding the profits of the billionaire parasite class.

“Those are the shoes your first-level character gets for free when you’re starting out in an RPG.”
