#bruce can never truly be a 'stable' model member of society and thats outside of everyone's power! alfred didn't worsen anything

AND there are canons where Bruce is perfectly well-adjusted, has hobbies, hangs out with his friends, loves his family, and is a perfectly normal, sweet guy other than the whole "billionaire and Batman" thing. But Alfred gets all the blame and none of the credit with you "Alfred was a bad parent" people.

But??? I never said?? Alfred was bad???

#being an unprepared parent doesn't mean bad parent #alfred was not prepared to deal with a traumatized child. 'good' parents would have issues dealing with a traumatized child #and let me just get this out of the way; there's a very big difference between turning out 'good' and turning out mechanically functional #bruce can never truly be a 'stable' model member of society and thats outside of everyone's power! alfred didn't worsen anything #and the things you describe are spoken for for any well written bruce who's not a fictional puppet for a man to jerk off on abuse #and macho ism #guess what -- a lot of traumatized folks lead happy lives as well. and a lot of people with stable upbringing with ' healthy parents' #can experience social hardship as well. the post i think you're referring to (which was one: already disqualified alfred as a bad parent) #and two: was a joke that even a tweleve year old could comprehend - wasn't calling him a bad dad. he was a dad who didn't know what to do #at the time. if you can't tell those two apart thats your issue mama
