You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
Here, take these

My version of chinese+chinese american miku along with a few of my favorite international mikus having hotpot together
fools: spy actually hates children including his own son
me: WHERE?? WHAT?? WHAT????
From the comics we have an entire issue where (one of) the punchline(s) is that Spy actually does like kids
(don’t sweat red vs blu too much it’s for the best)
And then Issue 6 is “Spy loves his son for real, dummy”
Personally, the choice of words here is very important: not “I love you”, which any parent can say to their child and mean it while still disapproving of their actions, but “I’m proud of you. I’ve always been proud of you.” Spy likes Scout for who he is despite all the snarking and eye-rolling!! Bitch!!
jay confirmed that spy does genuinely care about scout, and the tom jones disguise was because he was afraid of rejection (can’t find it atm but if someone else could i’d be grateful
also look at him helping scout, despite being the one who got kneecapped
and then how genuinely happy and vibrant he looks in the parts of expiration date where things are going right. no smugness or schaudenfreude. genuine happiness and pride in his dumb little progeny.
not even subtly reverse-psychologizing scout into putting on the date himself (he knows spite is much more powerful than anxiety and self-doubt)
and then being genuinely invested in how it goes
do i think spy is good at being a father? not really! do i think he knows how to show affection and support in a normal or healthy way? not at all! that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like his goddamn kid though. characters can act one way and feel another, like real people!
Character so good one half of the fandom thinks they’re ftm and the other thinks they’re mtf
