I heard the metal gear story, is based on hideo's relationship with his father
Treblaine
What a thriiiiilll.
DocBeeblebrox
Did the right thing, even if it hurt and it was hard
XXXSpork
It’s not like these people are caring, compassionate spouses and parents.
WonderWaage
Dad you're a snake, SNAKE, SNAAAAAAAAKE!!
IsolatedAsshole
Metal Gear Solid taught me at a young age to question authority and that we're more than tools for the elite.
Gnawlly
No. Not that message. Only the one about turning on people who aren't loyal to the elites.
MacClay
I didn't really get the Metal Gear connection and then I remembered they made like 10 of them and I probably missed a whole bunch of stuff.
Dumoras
There's a joke here about his father claiming to be a PATRIOT and him being a Metal Gear fan.
Kats8652
Standing here I realise!
TheMayorOfTittyCity
I love my dad and it would take a lot to not to cover for him, but if he was a total piece of shit like this dad I would rat on him for sure
TheMayorOfTittyCity
I think its hard to overstate just how much of a piece of shit this dad was. I would have prob called the committee even if he wasnt there.
Voidstrider2230
I want those posters too...
PraiseAzathoth
*finger guns* you're pretty good.
AMatureTwink
What a thrill ...
dalaiyoda
Metal Gear?!?
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
It's a franchise about shadow governments and conspiracy theorists ruling the world and it's horrifying. Kid understood that. Good on him.
ballsoutflyer
"tell Dad. I want him to know it was me."
Nihiladrem1
I feel sad for this kid.
LaughingMan2Gig
his mom isnt great either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAsO9p9xx9g
TheVampireDante
Sad the situation had to happen at all, but I applaud his resolve to get through it like he did.
Nihiladrem1
Agreed.
PinkSheep4Lyfe
I know it's not the point, but that kid's hair is fantastic

Snaaaake Eateeeeer!

But who's to judge the right from wrong. When our guard is down I think we'll both agree. That violence breeds violence. But in the end 1/2
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
it had to be this waaaaaaaay!2/2
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
My mom lived by "DTRT" (Do the right thing) even if it wasn't beneficial to her. I'm not as good at it as she was but I do try.

If anyone's not familiar with the Metal Gear Solid series, here's a quick and easy to follow explainer video: https://youtu.be/aaLiLRVeaZA

Quick, easy, explanation of Metal Gear franchise. You can only pick one.
Legomaniac91
Revengeance: Bastards steal kids brains, Raiden shows them why it was a bad idea.
onlyhalfghost
you can pick two as long as neither is the third part
JohnnySilverballs
Even before I clicked the link, I knew it would be Dunkey. Love it. Well worth the watch.
Sixsystems
I thought it was going to be Metal Gear: Awesome

When in doubt just think, what would Solid Snake do?

The right poster is the box art of "Sons of Liberty"

I wonder if the father/mother cursed thier son's name as they were taken away.
CurbYourClassWar
SSSNNAAAAKKKKEE!!

he threaten them. part of the reason he got an extended stay at the Federal Inn
Canofminus
Watch the interview with the sun & listen to the clip of the mom talking. She’s a real piece of work.
AThreeFootTallChocolateMooseWithFudgeEyes
like Ganon at the end of Ocarina of Time?
jfm2
yep
FuckmotheringxVampire
If my dad did crimes I would also agree with him being sentenced for those crimes
NotSomoneElse68
Be careful there. You can more easily end up with a "Doing 5 years for possession" situation than the one he's in.
FuckmotheringxVampire
Honestly, it's pretty fucked up if you condone crime just because your family did it.
Strangedays2024
Hell I'd report my family faster than my friends.
JimmyWalkerTexasRanger
ChainmailleAddict
LEGIT. A sorta-friend I played DnD with raped and murdered a woman. He's dead to me. This isn't hard.
Sabbo1999
In that case yeah fuck that person... but f.E. a drug problem or smth should be a different thing
magicrhombus
If my dad facilitated an abortion in a state where that is illegal, I would not agree with him being sentenced for that crime. ->
magicrhombus
as we have been made painfully aware, the law is not a proxy for a moral code. Sometimes they align, sometimes they do not.
FuckmotheringxVampire
My comment was based on the assumption that the law being broken is a legitimate one and the punishment fits the crime.
xdeadfishx
We did small crimes, petty theft and a bit of using the work van to go on holiday, but we were very poor and it was acceptable in the 80s
FuckmotheringxVampire
Everyone does small crimes, I'm not talking about overlooking your brother's shoplifting, most people would. If you overlook your brother's
FuckmotheringxVampire
Murder spree or terrorist attacks it becomes problematic.
ParagonOfAwesome
Ergo you are a metal gear fan.
BitchButcher
Like ... performing an abortion?
FuckmotheringxVampire
I said crimes not health services
AgainstMethod
Those health services are criminal in a lot of places.
FuckmotheringxVampire
Just because a law exists does not make it right or the person who breaks it a criminal
AgainstMethod
You're confusing "criminal"with immoral. Breaking a law is a crime. Crimes are often justified.
WyrdJamie
Ugh. My FIL was talking shit about criminals, yet has BRAGGED about doing illegal stuff & not getting caught. Fucking hypocrite.
DracusShadowrift
My dad HAS done crimes, got mostly off, and I am FURIOUS about that...
SomeDetroitGuy
Depends on the crime. Stole a grocery cart full of food from Kroge so we can eat? No. Rape a child? Yes. Insurrection? yes. Steal from a
SomeDetroitGuy
bank? Probably not. Sold some pot? No. Killed a witness as an assassin? Yes.
Superstzday
depends on the crime, tbh. shoplifting is a "crime". like fuck am i turning in anyone for that shit.
needmorecuteanimals
Weed? Don't care. Murder? Do care.
KaraokeLemur
Depends on the shop, the motivation, and what was stolen. Desperation? Saw nothing. Boredom? Have fun with the cops.
Superstzday
i ain't tryna get some dumbass kid shot 80 times in the back because they shoplifted.
jankeydadondc
theshinobi23
Yeah. Remember this fucked up scenario? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/us/colorado-police-settlement-dementia.html
KaraokeLemur
I guess I'm too European to even consider that possibility.
charlie2979
Sounds more like a Middle class problem than geographical. Phoning the police for victimless crimes is scum.
Superstzday
must be nice.
Vallete
To hear about those two kids who got shot for trying to shoplift some pokémon cards?
FukcTedCruz
Should of played Pokemon Stop Resisting. I feel terrible making that joke and understand I will go to hell.
Superstzday
fuck's sake, no i did not. https://kotaku.com/pokemon-card-police-shooting-florida-target-shoplift-vi-1848870113
