Trolls Call A Photo Of Joe Biden And His Son ‘Creepy’, People Respond With Similar Pics To Shame Them
The love between a dad and his son is a beautiful thing. And no troll on the internet can ruin it. When an artistic photo of former Vice President Joe Biden holding and kissing his son Hunter on the cheek surfaced on the internet, right-wing commentator and TV host John Cardillo criticized the fatherly expression of love and called it ‘creepy.’
However, the internet was quick to respond in the most beautiful way. Liz Plank, journalist and author of ‘For the Love of Men: From Toxic to a More Mindful Representation,’ invited the men of Twitter to share photos of them being held by their dads. The photos are powerful, honest, and we hope you enjoy them, dear Pandas. Let us know which ones you liked the most in the comments and remember to upvote your fave ones.

So much love in one picture... if that creeps you out, there's obviously something wrong with YOU.
Tom Nichols, senior adviser to The Lincoln Project, writes on USA Today that the photo of 77-year-old Biden and his 50-year-old son might seem “awkward,” but it’s moving.
“Even strangers to these men would know what it means. All of us, after all, were once children. In this case, to know the circumstances in which it was taken is to know that it is a picture full of pain, love, forgiveness, and acceptance, and to look at it for even more than a moment is to experience at least some of those emotions, especially in the memory of our own parents or children,” Nichols writes, alluding to the fact that Biden stood by his son during his struggles with drug abuse and other troubles.
I lost someone who I didn't see for nearly a year because of COVID. By the time I finally got a test and planned a safe way to travel home without exposure, it was too late. He was already in the hospital where we couldn't see him. It breaks my heart. I could have gone months before if I had just planned. But we always think we'll have more time. My advice is to make a plan to safely see your loved ones. Get tested, find a safe way to travel without risking exposure, or plan to quarantine and test on arrival. You can make it happen and you will deeply regret it if you don't.
According to Nichols, the way that right-winger Cardillo reacted to the photo shows how his sense of masculinity has become corroded and shows his inner insecurity.
“More accurately, it is a child’s view of masculinity. Come on, Dad, quit it, guys don’t kiss. This is the insecurity of the boys who did not learn that to accept a father’s embrace is part of becoming a man,” Nichols explains.
He adds that males (not men) like Cardillo are “to be pitied” because they might have had troublesome family relationships that led them to have a “terrified” and “embryonic male identity of a small child.”
They were very fortunate to be able to have such a wonderful relationship.

Dean, if you see this, I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a sweet image..

Kissing your child on the cheek is not creepy or inappropriate. Constantly talking about how hot and beautiful your child's body is and how you'd date your child if you weren't related, THAT is creepy and inappropriate.
RIGHT? It's so insane, Biden supports his son and with everything Hunter has been through I think it's amazing. Vs Trump saying he would sleep with his daughter cause she is so hot. WTF? Ew.
Remember when Tiffany had just been born, Disgusting Donny was on the record speculating about what kind of”rack” she was going to have? Who looks at a newborn baby and thinks about sex? What a scumbag, and that goes for all his supporters too, esp. the “Christian” ones.
Right? You just gotta wonder WTF goes in in their private lives.
this definitely qualifies as something I don't want to know.
He is plain old trash, how can any women vote for him, when he said, I can grab any pussy I want any time. He needs to be behind bars. Worst President ever.
@edie, but he's PRO LIFE!! sure, he's not a good person, but at least he doesn't- Hold on a second, I need to barf-
Edie Joyce haha
Someone would have to Photoshop Trump having a threesome with himself to make a picture that would even come close to illustrating his brand of family love.
Podunkus lol
Michael J.: Your're talking about Trump und sohne, right?
who in their right mind would say that? don‘t say it‘s... oh no, i don‘t want to know it. that photo of biden with his son is lovely though
A certain cheeto dust covered baffoon would date his daughter if they weren't related (probably also if she would have him and the world wouldn't criticize it...)
Jay Loren: Joe and Hunter Biden do no look like gay lovers. Besides, what is wrong with gay lovers? In the end, love is love. And, it is so much better than hatred.
Thank you!
Jay Loren , thank you for your input. If we ever find ourselves in need of the opinion of a complete and utter moron, we'll keep you in mind.
No old joe is for sure creepy
RIGHT

Look, all of the pictures underneath the Biden one are beautiful, and some even heartbreaking. You can dislike this if you want, but the way that the one with Biden and his son just gave off a creepy awkward feeling. Giving your father a hug at the beach or holding your infant are so much different.

Thank you jay. I'm glad someone is sane enough to agree
Trump said his daughter is a hot piece of ass, would date her is they weren’t related, and constantly touches her rear end. If anyone is creepy, it’s certainly not the guy who is giving his son a hug and showing him a normal amount of affection.
Scyth, there are photos everywhere of trump touching his daughters ass. I can send you the links. Want to talk about creepy... how about talking about a ten year old girl and saying “that’s my future girlfriend, isn’t that crazy?” How about walking into a room full of naked teenagers and making them horribly uncomfortable? How about going on a talk show and allowing an old man to tell you how hot your daughter is and agreeing with him? How about talking about how long your 1 year old daughters legs are, but saying you’re unsure about how big her breasts will be? What about when asked what he and his daughter both enjoy, answering “sex?” What about saying his daughter has a nice figure for playboy? How about being accused of raping a 13 year old? What about wishing a known child sex trafficker well? Saying you can grab women by the pussy? Nah, just go ahead and ignore all that so you can continue to worship your dear cult leader.
Scyth, neither Biden’s raped any underage children nor are there any real accusations of that. But trump has damn near 30 sexual assault allegations against him, one involving a 13 year old. You claim to care about children being abused, yet completely ignore the allegations against trump, and we’re supposed to believe you’re not a fan? Please. And as far as the teenage girls go, you know trump was part of the Miss Teen USA pageant, and had numerous complaints from the teenage girls that he would regularly walk into their dressing room unannounced while they were changing, and make comments about how they were his future girlfriends. You’re free to look up all the ways trump is creepy, but something tells me you will continue to deflect any time someone says something against him.

happyhippie what
You know this Scyth person will not respond! They never do when facts about the orange one are brought up.
Lynn Smith good
Lynn Smith love
emphasis on facts
The fact that he won't take a DNA test to prove the rape allegations by E Jean Carroll are false (and the repubs aren't pressuring him to) proves to me that these rape allegations are real. He raped Ivana after his hairplug surgery went bad (she had recommended the surgeon). It was in the divorce settlement, but a few more bucks prevented that. He's a rapist, a misogynist, racist, xenophobic, lying bigot. He needs to GO!!! Remember to VOTE!!!
He also said, I ran as a Republican because I knew they would be stupid enough to vote for me, that's why their his puppets. You must be so proud.
You’re angry
proof it I don't believe you

Raping underage children is significantly worse than all of them combined. Is caring more about abusing children than a man describing his daughter in a sexual way a bad thing? Also I would like you to send the link about trump walking into a room full of naked teenagers, I didn't know that. And finally, I'm in no way a trump supporter, stop assuming that everyone who disagrees is immediately at the far end of the spectrum.
Meanwhile, he's probably yelling at his sons.
Al Christensen ?
Scyth, keep asking questions.
Like how you add your own word,s ! hot piece of ass show me he said that ? Show,s how you think 🤔
P.S joe is creepy as hell !!!!! So I guess you would rather have crack head son then a hot successful daughter????

Sniffing little girls' hair and talking during an event about how he really likes girls jumping and bouncing on his lap is creepy. And trump doesn't constantly touch his daughter's rear end.
Great photo. How the h**l is this in anyway creepy ??? I would give anything for a photo like that of my son and his father but sadly his father died when my son was 7 months old.
I feel you. I don't know why anyone would downvote your comment, but my upvote brought it back to a zero. It is a great photo. I wish my dad was here too..... even though I'm a daughter, I wish he was here to hold my son.
Joe Biden IS creepy.His son may be creepier! Normal pics of father's and sons will not change that fact an iota. "Fuzzy Kodak moments"...exactly like the serpent Obama. Only shown by the crooked Media in " sweetness and light". ALWAYS GIVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE WRONG IMPRESSION OF WHO IS THE GOOD GUY AND WHO IS THE CREEPER! IN THE RIGHT LIGHT ...FECES COULD BE MADE TO LOOK GOOD....AND HAS!
So sorry you didn't get to know your dad... And no, this is definitely not creepy, but beautiful AND normal. Anyone who thinks this is a creepy picture, must have a very unhealthy relationship with either their dad, son, or both.
it looks staged to me. That's as standard photographic backdrop (a little nicer, but basically the same thing you had in school photos,). I find staged photos creepy- there's a certain rigidity there that isn't when it's candid. has nothing to do with what's happening in the photo, though.
Hooked good
