Look at the incels today without their parents loving them. I say let's go for it. Most of the sane ones don't sexualize it anyway.

Americans are just massive puritans who sexualize everything lol

Kissing on the mouth is really weird though idk.

Not in some cultures

Better than having deadbeat dad in jail and he told you that you aren’t his kid. Divorce rate always high so most who can’t related aren’t understand and being hateful person to be seen as eDgY

[Power love]

I guess some people here rather have fathers beat their sons rather than show them love and affection such as this. People judging the scene when they don’t know squat. But, that’s society for you. 
 

I wonder how many guys that have  commented on this have strained relationships with their fathers? It boils down to jealousy if people are really being close-minded like this over a father that obviously loves his son to death. Not everything has to be sexualized, people sure love to make general assumptions and resort to some sick sexual perversion in their heads

[Bloodflowers.]

No, father sending his son to the military to become a real man should be normalised

[Pendulum]

It's always chronically online people deprived of any personality and nuance thinking with no social skills that would say that. Grass needs to be touched.

 

The same people would tell you that a 17 year old dating a 19 year old is pedophilia.

Yes as long the child is comfortable and happy, always respect their boundaries. 

[LustSpell]

IT IS normalized. People like thos frustrate me.

 

My uncle and my dad, both men I love and adore very much I am extremely affectionate (kisses, sit on lap) with and I'm nearly 26.  Cringe people on the internet who sexualize literally everything down to people breathing are the issue here. ****, even my sister, who is *31*, sometimes sits on my uncle lap who is literally 45 because he essentially raised her bc her dad wasnt in the picture. **** ppl like that

[GotMyBlueprint]

Unnormalized, if anything.

[GlamSlam]

My God, people are always looking for things to moan / be offended about. If you don't show your kids any affection you're "a bad parent", if you shower them with affection then "there's something strange going on". I mean, has society become so suspicious of everyone that parents have to ponder about how long to hug or kiss their child in order for onlookers to not deem it as "inappropriate". The kid in that clip looks quite content and doesn't appear to be miserable or scared at all. The signs would be FAR bigger if anything strange was going on.

The fact that people are sexualising it, the toxic masculinity jumped out. They’re the weirdos. 

[stevyy]

In my country it's even normal for parents (dad or mom) to have a bath with their kids. 

 

Not everything is about sex. The world has gone hysterical. 

[The Next Day]

This reminds me of this Trevor Noah clip:

 

A lot of men don't have the capability to distinguish sex and intimacy and it's sad, because they were raised this way and continue to raise their sons like that. **** the patriarchy, we're hurting ourselves.

This only seems to be an issue on social medias/internet. I don’t think I have ever heard such a conversation in the real world.

 

Some of you should stop giving too much importance to social medias trolls !

[Phaunzie]

I am confused, isn't this normal behavior. Unless you mean the incesty kind of affection will then no.

[Khal]

Porn really has rotted some people's brains

[XxxKatyCatxxX]

Well, in my country is normal to see those things and people won't give you weird looks for it.

[mystery]

There is nothing wrong with it and in my personal experience my family was always extremely affectionate. It is strange to me to see it be controversial in countries like America because it is something that seems very present where I live.

It is actually interesting because I see younger generations that are more impacted by American culture through the internet be weirded out by affection between men, while older generations are not.

[KatyPrismSpirit]

i feel like that is pretty weird if the son is in his puberty to put him on your lap and kiss him on the cheek. but for a younger child, aged 2-8 its still normal. but when the child is in puberty dads should stop doing that

girl, it’s the opposite  society’s puritanical beliefs (as well as homophobic beliefs) have made people think that any form of intimacy is inherently sexual and devious, especially between two males

This is considered taboo in Islamic households when the child has reached puberty. And i kinda agree. You deserve the right to privacy and bodily autonomy at a certain age.

Twitter is a cesspool filled with sad people leading lonely and meaningless lives who have nothing better to do than **** on complete strangers for any random made up reason they can find, just to feel that momentary glimpse of power and attention. The second we all stop taking it seriously, humanity as a whole will improve significantly 

This is the smartest thing I’ve seen in ages on ATRL 

[Tasty]

This is pure toxic masculinity tbh, if this was a mother and her daughter nobody would bat an eye.
