is this comic even really offensive? the father is portrayed as a “bad person”, and we’re supposed to see him as a bad person, because the reversal and surprise at the end reveals that he did bad things for a good purpose. so the comic already frames the abuse as bad. i don’t think the comic suggests you should do it irl, it’s just a skit. i don’t think it necessarily detracts from real abuse either, because the father is portrayed as a bad person. you’re supposed to empathize with the kid and see the father as a villain. i don’t think the comic recommends doing this irl either. i hope everyone who sees this has the sense required to see why it’s a bad idea. the insults are also excessive to the point of absurdity.
