Im sorry for anyone not saying their parents, it’s kind of their job.
My parents, siblings, relatives and friends…
Probably my dad, he accepted me for who I was as a weird little kid, never pushed for conformity as far as I could tell. He got me grownup books to read when I was little because I read like a grownup. Got me spicy food, talked about economics, the Tao, the poems of Omar Khyam. My mom didn’t talk down to me or anything but just didn’t really connect because we were so different as people.
He died when I was a teenager, but I have mostly been able to do this for my kids, because it was modeled for me. You are who you are, you don’t have to conform or do “normal” things in the usual order to fit in the world, you are part of the world. Doesn’t mean it’s always comfortable, but that’s true for anybody.
To be quite honest, my own parents. They tried really hard to give me and my siblings a good life.
Being completely serious here, sailor moon and the sailor guardians. There’s been so many times even in recent memory where I’ll get an idea and I’ll tell myself “well… the sailor scouts wouldn’t think it’s very nice to do that” (ex making negative comments toward someone else).
At this point in my life, fictional characters are some of the only role models that haven’t turned out to be secretly awful people.
Amen to that.
I for one am as effective and useful as tuxedo mask
My father was a great anti-role model.
I tried my hardest to not be like him and his shittiness.
