-As an addon, I gotta bring up mention of my father. My dad is an immigrant of Yiddish Hungarian parents who moved from Tel Aviv over 40 years ago to the United States and he moved to Brooklyn Coney Island and as a result has a very distinct thick accent; it is apparently so heavy that even those back where he is from in all declare he has the thickest weirdest accent they ever heard. People mistake him for being Greek, Arabic/Palestinean, Italian, Czech, and all manner of other things and it drives him nuts. Even when other people speak Hebrew and Yiddish to him, they are baffled by what he says back.
He basically sounds like the gruff, crabby version of this guy:
-So, we as a family all love to play "Magic The Gathering" and my dad, he is not the best at not being a sore loser. He is also the sort of card player who just sticks in whatever random cards he feels like into his deck, good or bad, without often bothering to actually read the card text about what it does. He gets frustrated whenever the rules get too complicated, when their cards have too much English text, or if they have any overly unique unspoken requirements to be met for certain things to go down- which if you know your MTG, is quite literally the entire premise. It's simple to play, but it's also a thing for game stores to have 'card lawyers' in them for a reason.
So whenever we play cards with him he inevitably will whine about something going not to plan; and when he does, we all burst into a round of
"SUSIE I DON'T LIKE THEEZ GAME! IT KEEP CHEATING ON ME!"
"ARNOLD MAKE THE CARDS BETTER FOR ME THEY ARE NOT FAIR"
"look I CANT REad good, you expect me to sit and READ CARDS ALL DAY??"
He gets soooo aggravated, it is delicious....
-should I feel bad as a White American mocking his Middle Eastern accent, a thing which even after 40 years he still feels sensitive about?.... perhaps....but also he's a sexist racist Zionist albeist homophobic grouch. He's done a lot for me and undeniably cared for me, but also irreversibly repeatedly traumatized tf out of myself and my family ages ago. He often beat me or threatened to kick me out growing up, but it was always for bad behavior things, never ever for anything political or to do with identity. (I'll never forget how when I came out to him he didn't call me slurs or gave a single shit about me being not straight, he acted completely unsurprised and resigned; but instead went on a fat phobic rather uncouth but undeniably morbidly funny rant; about how I should crush on someone who 'wasn't such a disgusting fat cow!....You deserve better and should find a hot woman, don't you know how many better looking lesbians are out there???'...)
He always hated Trump and calls him a buffoon, but somehow continues to like his *party* and hates the idea of a woman president.
His whole family are a mixed variety of immigrants, his wife is a Ukraine immigrant, so to him Putin = bad, BUT, any bombing Iran is 'good', and he hates war and Netayahu, but also is highstrung Islamphobic, he hates environmental destruction and oil drilling to him is bad, yet AI technology to him is also 100% cool, inevitable and good. He hates woke stuff and complains about gay culture yet he goes to every Broadway play that ever happened, and he thinks Welfare and Socialism is bad, but he worked in a fucking union, and he thinks unions are bad and are too greedy; except when they are not and are about teachers. He has angst about illegals and too many junkie homeless people, and he supports ICE doing what they do, EXCEPT whenever he doesn't, and doesn't agree with any of the violent crackdowns or harming of LEGALS of any race, which yes I know, doesn't realistically make any fucking difference...
SO....*sigh* ...yeah...y'know. 🤷 ...Life is complicated folks. People are complicated. People can be weird and contrarily dumb sometimes and there's just no wrapping our heads around it til they figure this shit out on their own or get less biased news sources.... So. Yeah.
I'd say this is proportional levels of derision and pettiness against an old eccentric crankpot dad.
