He still did all the shitty things that made him a shitty dad. But you're right I'll grant that he did do the bare minimum.
All this sounds really like really shitty things to do to your daughter. Because it is. Going out of his way to tear her down make her feel worthless and leave her even with the passing of her mother. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.
So he is a bad father? What are you arguing with me for? Even if he wanted to hide her from exorcists this chapter seems to throw that excuse out the window since the exorcists gave her the explicit choice to join them in fighting or not. Seems more like he did the first dumbass thing that came to his mind and ran with it instead of exploring any option that involved raising his daughter.
Fuck you. I mean that sincerely.
You're pissy at me because I called a man a shitty dad for the shitty things he did but you call a teenage girl a "bleeding cunt" because she doesn't forgive the man for the shitty things he did? She doesn't owe him that and he doesn't deserve. She certainly doesn't owe him that in the span of 2 seconds after he abandoned her for years. He didn't come home and help her understand. He didn't grieve her mother's loss with her. He didn't even fucking apologize. If that moment ever comes it'll come when she finds her own peace and pass it to him even though he doesn’t deserve shit.
Honestly this response seems like an anger filled rant than a measured response. No dude I'm not pissy you called the Dad a shitty father. Don't go projecting your anger on me. You're clearly pissed I called the heroine a cunt despite the fact she is one. Not once in this entire response did you actually engage with my argument. You just mouthed off your own self-righteous rant about the injustices she suffered without any introspection on why it's all about me me me. Much like the heroine in this story. Which goes back to my original comment.
Never once did I say the father was in the right. It amazes how you've missed this point twice along with another commentator who was either blind or being stupid on purpose. All I've said is I understand his pov. Do you? No you clearly don't after these two responses have shown me. All you've done is whine why didn't he do this different why didn't he do that. He's such a shitty father. With no actual
understanding of why he did what he did. Considering the fact it was the heat of the moment he did first thing he thought of. Belittlement. In his desperate desire at that moment to have her not be an exorcist he decided to crush her spirit. Harsh? Yes. Cruel? Yes. Was there another way? At that point maybe but he's lost so many family members and seeing his daughter wanting to take up his profession he decided to be the villain, so to speak, to protect her.
Now after the Wife died he could've said something and to that I agree but what? Apologize? Why would he do that? Recall his goal is to not have her be an exorcist so to him playing the villain so his daughter hates him and him leaving constantly and never being around has her blame both him and his profession he's doing exactly what he planned to do. To him he had nothing to apologize for. Talk? About what? He's got nothing to say as the scene clearly showed she's doesn't want to talk to him either. The relationship is, for the most part, dead. Daughter assumes he cares more about his job than his family and hates him and his profession for that so to the father mission accomplished.
My entire point is I understand the father's pov and don't think he's as stupid or dumb as other commentators think. I think his experience, fear, and love for his daughter clouded his judgement and he was ready for the family business to end with him. Everything he did was, even if she hated him, was for her safety. Obviously that didn't pan out but I
understand why he did what he did but I definitely don't agree with his actions. It's not hard to have a little empathy for a battled-honed father not wanting his daughter to get herself killed because of the job he does. This scenario is literally a trope just not handled as well as it could have been
Now the final scene. Her angry rant about how she's going to "Do the thing he hates". Cunt is all I have to say. This man sacrificed a lot to make sure she lived a life away from this dangerous profession. She was shown why he was cruel to her, why he was never around, why he said that about his wife. It was all to protect her. Now did this chick after that have any introspection? Any nuance? Any
understanding? No she acts like brat and says so out of spite. Chaining her reasoning to the emotion of spite instead of something like understanding and desire to be an exorcist that she's held hidden since she was young. But no she's just a brat shooting her mouth like it's some big achievement. Like it's just a dog barking to be threatening, and I find hilarious you'll give her a pass on not forgiving her father on why he did what he did after being shown that, but you refuse to understand why the father tried belittlement when she was unsheathing the sword in a hurry and called him stupid for doing so. Hypocrisy much?
After this I'm done. If you wanna argue go ahead. This series from this heroine alone is garbage. She acts like a male character but to make it less generic they gender swapped her but in doing so giving her an attitude and mannerisms of a dude screams cunt. I was curious on chapter 1 but I'm good after chapter 2. Especially since that chapter shows the reason why he's away from home a lot and was successful in his mission of keeping her hidden until he died. He also knew what he was doing was gonna lead to hatred of him but did it because he loved her that much and wanted to protect her. Not to mention he understood his daughter well enough that crushing her spirit was, in his mind, the best course of action to stop her. Cunt is this heroine's middle name. I'm done.
