It’s pleasant to see actually. Normally people jump straight to demonisation and get on their self-righteous high horses. Unless the attacker was a woman, then there’s always a reason why she did what she did.
Is this is why the FGC gets accused of ‘misogyny’ so much? Because you don’t subscribe to female victimhood status wholesale (at least from what I see here)?
It was unintentional.
He plead guilty.
The father is fucking grieving.
His whole family came to his defense.
If the genders were switched…the responses would be the likely the same.
Also…don’t lump the General Discussion section with the “FGC”.
My dad told me once. “I brought you into this world, and I’ll take you out of it!” I didn’t try to see if he really could do it. She shouldn’t have either.
I’m just saying I’m surprised by the reaction to this here. Typically the public are always calling for people’s heads to get lopped off for honest mistakes like this one. I’m just so used to them calling for blood and you guys didn’t and that was surprising to me. That’s all.
I’m not talking about the father or his family. I’m talking about the public’s reaction to things like this. They tend to ignore details like the ones you mentioned and simply demand that people be severely punished no matter what the circumstances are.
In any case the public’s reaction doesn’t matter much. I’m surprised the judge didn’t punish him severely simply because the kid died. I can imagine that happening in America if something similar happened. Like him getting charged with man-slaughter or something.
Why do you act like what I said is so crazy?
Fair enough. Hence the ‘at least from what I see here’ part.
This is why corporal punishment is and always was a fucking terrible concept.
Your kids did something dumb? Point out how it’ll affect others who they care about, and let the guilt invoke feeling shitty for what they did.
As a parent, you are supposed to get your descendants to LEARN from their mistakes, and take pride in doing so while you look on fondly(not to the point of arrogance, though), not fear making them!
