Just casually thinking about the time on Digimon when Tai and Kari's parents LEFT THEM HOME ALONE WHEN THEY WERE TODDLERS AND KARI WAS SICK WITH PNEUMONIA and then when Tai took her outside to play ball and she collapsed and had to go to the hospital they YELLED AT HIM AND SHAMED HIM LIKE IT WAS HIS FAULT.
THEY ABANDONED A BABY WITH PNEUMONIA WITH A TODDLER AND THEN BLAMED THE TODDLER FOR THE INEVITABLE RESULT OF THEIR NEGLECT.
YES I AM A THIRTY-SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN GETTING ANGRY ABOUT DIGIMON -- BECAUSE THAT WAS SOME SERIOUS BULLSHIT.
#Digmon#Digimon Adventure#Kari Kamiya#Tai Kamiya#Taichi Kamiya#I'm not actually mad about Digimon#I'm mad about every child who was severely neglected by a shitty parent#and every kid who was expected to do the parent's jobs for them and got scolded for not doing the job THEY were supposed to do#and don't try telling me this was accepted in 90s Japan because it shouldn't be acceptable anywhere in any way#cw Parentification
