Okay but brainwashing doesn't just happen because a person is dumb. Like the dad was brought up with this propaganda since childhood, like he was literally treated as gene spreader 3000 and a test subject. So it make sense and is kinda realistic that his foundational belief don't get changed after a few times of meeting his first love. Like honestly grandad a loser frfr and brainwashed but not Dumb. In all this to say brainwashing and tricking can happen to anyone not just Dumb People.
Yeah, you're right. It was just frustrating to see his cognitive dissonance.
You're right about it being frustrating. Have you tried imagining him getting run over by a tracktor back and forth multiple times? Or an angsty yaoi fanfic where he falls in love deeper and gets told, " I regret meeting you, giving my heart to a machine of reproduction, and all I see is your vile progeny It disgusts me everytime I see one of your offspring because it's a future I could not give you. All the people who held you in a way I never could. But now, looking back at the past, I wish I never met you. Never fell in love, never saw your pain, never willingly blind myself to how much of a coward you are. We may be the same in how we were raised but your choices are blades that withered my soul. I regret alot of things, but why is it so hard to regret my foolish love for you. You who so selfishly desire me to be yours wholely but would leave me fed with crumbs of owner ship. If I am yours when will you ever be mine?" And the granpa uke dies and grandpa seme regrets it and gets transported back to a happier time where maybe if he wasn't a coward, he could have been happier. ♡
This is what eugenics do to a mf...
The worst part of this is, not only did Shogo's dad not learn ANYTHING from his past, but he doubled down on his philosophy of breeding for genetics only and wanted to sabotage his own son's relationship. The best way I can kinda interpret this is that he's jealous as his son's successful monogamous relationship reminds him of what he could've had with the teacher. In this case, it's a perfect, tragic story... But then if he truly loved his first love, he could've just questioned whatever his own parents preached, quit the 'spreading muh beast genetics' bullshit and lived a childless life with the person he truly loved. I guess the drama and angst had to happen somehow, so they made Shogo's dad extra dumb. Or just brainwashed lol
