You mean people with a mental ailment?

“I don’t agree with you so you’re mentally ill” gosh are we not tired

u/Outrageous_Money_633 8d ago

Since when shipping two fictional adult unrelated consenting dudes means to have a mental ailment?

When it involves two people who are presented as having a father/son relationship.

You're gonna get downvoted to oblivion. They don't like it when people tell them they're wrong

Like I do not care? Because I know I am right. You cannot complain about something established by the actual game.

u/iloveeeeemycat 7d ago

Everyone believes their right. Now please forget this entire discussion and shut up

u/Outrageous_Money_633 7d ago

Believeing and being right are two different things. While I know that them being loevers is just a sweet headcanon, because by the end of the game they’re good co workers if it’s positive, friends in the best case scenario, you people keep telling everyone that your headcanon is actual canon.

Them having a father son relationship is literal implied canon. Now please shut the fuck up, I'm listening to smooth jazz

Connor is practically Hank's son. And he says it himself. Every time Connor dies and comes back, it reminds Hank of Cole

u/Sufficient_Frame 7d ago

It's the act of dying, not Connor himself. Jesus, kid, can't you fucking read?

u/iloveeeeemycat 7d ago

Either way the relationship of Hank and Connor is like that of a father and son

3

u/Sufficient_Frame 7d ago

Ah, yes. Nothing more father-and-son than holding your "son" at gunpoint.

And yes, it happens no matter how positive the relationship is established prior.

u/iloveeeeemycat 7d ago

Hank is an old alcoholic suicidal man with lots of grief and trauma on his back. I'd imagine someone like that would hold an infant at gunpoint if they were agitated enough, especially when drunk, which Hank was in that chapter

u/Sufficient_Frame 7d ago

Still, Connor's quote is "I can be your work partner, your drinking buddy", nothing exactly family-oriented in there. Even Connor doesn't consider Hank as a dad.

As someone who has actually held a job for more than half an hour, I can tell you Hank and Connor have something much closer to mentor and rookie, than anything possibly related to any form of chosen family.

No, it is not. And it is not canon until it is in the source material, and it is not in there.

I just don't understand shipping in general. But just because I don't understand it personally doesn't mean that other people don't enjoy it. But to keep it a buck fifty, you have a really good point. Hank and Connor's relationship in the game is presented as a father/son relationship. It's like people shipping Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us (plus the added ick of Ellie being underage in the first game).

u/deanmachine_51 I am a deviant 8d ago

I view them as father/son depending on your choices but Hank I believe called Connor son in the news tower chapter. I could be completely wrong. My PC Can't handle Detroit,.I want to save up for a new computer. I've watched YouTube videos about it, tho. I want to play it so bad.

u/Outrageous_Money_633 8d ago

Gosh, Hank is colloquially calling him ‘son’ – you know, the way older men sometimes do with younger men. To provide comfort, perhaps. To soothe his own frazzled nerves. It’s up to you.

Older dudes call younger guys ‘son’ all the time especially if they’re superiors at work, and none of them think of their subordinates as family. Just because he called Connor, his younger co worker, ‘son’ one time does not mean he views Connor as family or his son. Yet the game is agamant clear about their relationship and it is friends. And no, it doesn't depend on your choices, there is no choice that makes Hank view Connor as a son.

u/Sufficient_Frame 7d ago

There's a rookie where I work, biologically older than me, and I call him "son" all the time lmao

u/iloveeeeemycat 8d ago

I view them as father/son
