>Me as kid
>Haha Homer strangle Bart funny

>Me now
>Holy shit this guy is an abusive scumbag asshole why isn't he in jail?

Why are abusive scumbag fathers/father figures such a common /co/ thing?
Off the top of my head I can think of Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin,Gruncle Stan and that Dad in Chicken Little.

What others are there?
Do we need to stop glorifying them in /co/ media?

Watching the Simpsons and being offended that Homer is abusive is like watching Tom and Jerry and being upset that Tom is an attempted murderer. It is a cartoon. The actions are exaggerated. They’re obviously not acceptable in the real world, and it is missing the point if you hold them to real world standards to the point that you can’t enjoy the joke.

He’s generally a bad role model and sometimes a little neglectful. Like he’s the kind of uncle that will hand a kid a box of fireworks with a big warning label on it saying “do not give to children.” Personally, I dunno if I’d go so far as to call it abusive, but in the real world that sort of thing is officially considered abusively negligent the second one of the kids shoots a firework into their own eye.

Why should we care about how dysfunctional Homer's parenting is? It's a light-hearted cartoon, not a documentary. That's like watching Ed Edd n Eddy and getting legitimately upset because the main characters are constantly getting beaten and raped.

I've never been bothered by the strangling and always just saw it as an exaggerated cartoon thing, but I kind of am bothered by Homer coming off as an alcoholic sometimes. I haven't watched the show, like old or new episodes, anytime recently, so I'm not sure how much it actually happens, but when they play him as LOL SO DRUNK I don't think I've ever found it funny.

Like it doesn't come off like King of the Hill or something where they drink often but getting actually getting really drunk is rare/a joke, it comes off like Homer legit has issues.

Characters who generally act like assholes but are "good on the inside" are bad role models. Sure, they aren't actually "bad people" but they normalize asshole-ish and neglectful behavior. It's not like most viewers are ever going to end up having to save someone's life IRL. But most viewers are going to end up in casual situations, where they might very well behave based on certain patterns they see in certain cool archetypes in media, such as an asshole with the heart of gold.

Rather than looking at it as a binary of "realistic" and "unrealistic" I'd look at it more like a spectrum.

Simpsons doesn't have toon force on the same level as Tom and Jerry but they've done tons unrealistic shit like pic-related. Meanwhile if Hank Hill survived his head getting crushed in a bridge or was shown to be choking Bobby it'd be weird because it's a more realistic show.

I think it really depends. The trope “asshole with a heart of gold” is a principle that can be applied to a wide range of degrees and tonal situations. So if somebody emulates it, it really depends on what the degree of unlikelyhood the media the trope is presented in is, and how literally it is emulated vs just catching the general spirit of it. Like you can have an asshole with a heart of gold character who will kick a puppy and then turn around and carry an orphan out of a burning building, and yeah that’s not likely to come up much. But you could apply the same principle to the guy who isn’t nice to christmas carolers but also makes regular anonymous donations to the children’s hospital. If the audience has good enough reasoning skills, they should be able to understand the principle of the matter instead of being caught up in strong literal interpretations that won’t be useful in their real world experiences, and know how to tone things down.
