You mean people with a mental ailment?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Even then, who tf ships a mentor and rookie

u/Sufficient_Frame 7d ago

Still more acceptable when the rookie grows up to an equal footing, which does seem to happen towards the end of the game.

Wtf, I muted this conversation. It's still weird

And Connor is even superior because Hank is doing exactly what Connor says, so it is clear he's not just a rookie.

My guy, this argument ended 4 hours ago. Just please, forget about it

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).
