I feel like a whole generation of kids are missing out on positive male role models.
Step up, and pass on the good vibes and knowledge
My father didn’t bother in my life til I was 25. My stepda , the first one, was an abusive piece of shit. A neighbour guy took it on himself to be a father figure for me,and damn he did good. Second person I came out too. His reaction? Tears, a hug, and dinner. Damn I miss him.
I’m more of the “this is an example of what not to do/be” kind of role model
Fishing is a good acid test of how far down the value of animal lives are in almost everyone’s minds. Here we have an activity that’s almost universally seen as something wholesome, when really it’s just a form of super casual, lowkey animal abuse.
Plenty of other nice things to spend time doing on the water, like swimming or kayaking.
But fishes don’t look like us, so it’s okay.
That’s what matters right?

What, you don’t like the thrilling pastime of… *checks notes* waiting, but with occasional cruelty?
Exactly.
But also, kayaking is awesome. Like even from a purely recreational perspective, why do so many choose to fish when they could be kayaking?
Why choose? I often fish from a kayak, even hunt ducks and geese on the water in one.
Because all of those animals just want to live their lives, and there is no good reason to take that away.
Food is a good reason for a lot of things.
There are plenty of better sources of food.
