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.
Exactly!!! People can be such asshats about these kind of things. That’s what makes the world go around... love for each other.

Hello! I’m a conservative and a Christian and don’t understand why this is supposed to be offensive. I always kissed my dad and hugged him into adulthood, and after he dies I’m 2017 don’t regret anything! If you’re a Christian and you have a problem, then remember that God desires to hold us, John rested against Jesus breasts at the last supper, “greet each other with a holy kiss.” If anyone has a problem with this then there is something deeper with regard to their own uncomfortableness with human touch.
God bless you, I wish for your sake you did too 💔 Before my youngest son past I was fortunate enough to hear him say “ I love you mom “ and to this day I can still hear it in my mind if I listen hard. Know that he loved you with his very last thought. God Bless and stay safe.
I just voted every. Single. Pic. Up! (Yes, I know that’s not how bp works, I did it only to set a statement against sucking #johncardillo s
My son kissed his father on the cheek his whole life, well into his 40's and he is glad as this is part of his memories after losing his father. Those who find it creepy never had a loving family that is for sure.
God, the "conservatives" in this country are not only hypocrites, but uptight as hell. In Europe it is quite natural to embrace and kiss your father or mother. What a bunch of jerks to take something so beautiful and turn it into something sinister and dirty
The picture of President Biden hugging his son doesn't creep me out a bit---- now the picture of tRump with a half-dressed very young ivanka sitting on his lap, that's inappropriate as hell! What hypocrisy from tRumpanzees...what hypocrisy!
This really tugs at your heart strings. This picture is beautiful in so many ways.
I love pictures like this! People that are uncomfortable with this picture have homophobia issues or father issues of their own...
I hug and kiss my family members ALL THE TIME! People that don't are dead inside. How dare people criticize others for showing love in their own family.
I hug and kiss my family members ALL THE TIME! People that don't are dead inside. How dare people criticize others for showing love within a family.
My dad never hugged me. He was an alcoholic that would verbally and physically abuse me. He hated me. My mother was emotionally distant and killed herself when I was 16. She never hugged me or told me she loved me. I don’t hug people. I don’t feel things like I should. I wish I could be like other people, laughing, loving, and enjoying things but I don’t. I just go through the motions. I know it’s how I was raised. I wish I had parents that loved me and expressed it like these two. This isn’t creepy or wrong. How I was raised is wrong.
Sydney, so sorry that happen to you, breaks my heart. I hope you find a true and caring loving person Gid Bless

Both these pictures are absolutely beautiful and I absolutely hate trolls who are really jealously coveting someone else’s love they never got! And they love causing real trouble!
I'm in my 7th decade as a male on this earth, and these images bring a flood of tears to my face. How absolutely lucky these males are, my father hated me. I was one of five children, but the first born son. My grandparents(fathers parents) being immigrants from France and Greece just after WWl, worshipped the first born son. They told me it was tradition.My father told me once when I was fourteen, that he and my mother would have had a great life if not for us kids. I wish I could have experienced the love these men have for each other. It's beautiful.
Try to forget that he said that to you. Try to forget it. He loved 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.
Twins (with the exception of about a 25 year age span). You can tell they're father and son.
"Are not super touchy feely" except when alcohol is added to the mix.
Dean, if you see this, I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a sweet image..
It's nice to have your best friend with you during such an emotional experience.
The little hand holding dad. No question of how much live they xhare.
You are blessed man to know that your father loved you unconditionally every day of your life.
It took me a second to see the "hand placements" in the first photo. I laughed out loud.
At least you recognize the internalized homophobia. Now, you can actively battle those demons when they appear.
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.

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.

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.

Listen. Joe Biden’s first wife and baby daughter were both killed in a car accident right after he was elected to Congress for the first time, in 1972. The two boys survived but were injured, and Biden took his oath in the hospital where they were being treated. Then 30+ years later he loses one of those boys to brain cancer. If Joe Biden is extremely open and demonstrative about his love for his children, considering the amount of loss he’s experienced, he has every good reason to be—-and those who think it’s improper can go f**k themselves.
Boy right there with you. My dad was comfortable in his male self and role of catholic dad to eight kids who he hugged and kissed. When my oldest brother lost his 8 month old son to meningitis my Dad as well as my Mom held him in their arms and cried with him over their loss. I remember my Dad holding my brother in a strong hug with his lips on brothers head while my brother moaned how quick the sickness took Robbie, I watched my fathers eyes bring with tears the ran into my brothers hair. Two fathers grieving deeply together.....I will take that sad loving memory to my grave. Also the tears of the big police sgt who tried to help with CPR when Robbie died on the way to the doctors. It happened so fast it ripped through his little body so fast in six hours of getting a fever he was dead. Let us also take that as a reminder with COVID how quickly disease can rip through one and leave others whole. God bless all loving parents and cops who care and fair.

Just because you have no idea what real affection is doesn't mean it's "creepy"
"Trump supporter says photo is creepy." You want to know what is REALLY and truly creepy? Can you guess? Yes, folks, tRUMP supporters are what is creepy!

I feel like if my dad had received more affection from his father, he would have been a better father himself. I think it's sad that people try to make parental relationships into sexual ones. Internal homophobia has stopped many men from showing affection, when they needed to show more.
This thread is full of beauty and love. Thank you to every person that shared. I'm sorry for all the fathers and sons out there that feel that they can't express their feelings and emotions and love in a hug or a kiss. That is what toxic masculinity breeds - men who think hugging and kissing their father/son is creepy. I'm so sad for all those boys and men who have to hide their emotions and eschew the need for physical contact.
Coming from someone who has never had a father, I would love to have a moment like this with my Dad. Also, I have seen much creepier pics of Trump with Ivanka.
Seriously someone needs to stop cutting onions around me. This was a beautiful thread.
Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one. Was not planning on crying today but here we are. I don’t even have a dad but the love is almost palpable in these pictures. Absolutely beautiful

No, it would not be creepy. I am a girl, and I feel totally comfortable hugging/snuggling with my mom. If not her, who could I have gone to to talk about all that super weird puberty stuff? Parent/child love is beautiful.

The trolls who criticize the Biden photo are probably trying to deflect from the dozen or so photos of Donald looking super-creepy with Ivanka -- lying on her bed, her draped on him like one of his "professional girlfriends," or the photo of them in an audience with Ivanka in short-shorts giving daddy a lap dance.
I got about 8 posts down and now I can't see s**t because of all this water in my eyes.
I have to wonder what is in peoples hearts that can see a pic of a father and son and find it creepy or sexual??? jezzuz Stop sexualizing everything !!!
I don't have a pic of this moment, but I will never forget and neither will my husband. I had been divorced and my 3 sons were desperate for a dad. I started dating my now husband and he easily took over the dad position. We still hadn't married yet and the youngest' ball got caught in a tree. The boyfriend reached up and knocked it down and the youngest said "That's my dad!" to the neighbors watching. At that point I wasn't going to let this man get away from me. Married 35 years now.
Maybe, if there were more affectionate fathers in the world, there’d be more good men in the world.
Anyone who thinks this is inappropriate has some serious issues. I find using this photo as a weapon for political purposes is disgusting. Regardless of who you support, attacking a male for showing love and affection for his son is sick.
A few years ago, the band U2 came out with an album that had a photo of one of the members holding hugging his son and they were both shirtless. I didn't find that creepy and I don't find this photo of Joe Biden creepy. What I do find creepy is the fact that President Trump has said that he would sleep with his daughter if they weren't related. I also find it creepy that people dislike Joe Biden so much that they try to find the negative in everything that he does. I sometimes hug my mother when we are at work and no one finds that creepy. Loving your child is not creepy. Finding fault in everything that a politician that you don't like is.
Not creepy at all ..... Now if he did this with a 12 year old girl, that would be creepy!
Had a discussion once where a woman claimed that parents who kiss their children on the lips are incest-approving pedophiles. Told her that I was sorry that she sexualised even the most pure connection between parents and their children and that her sex-focused view on things could be helped if she'd talk to a therapist. Got some angry DMs calling me a pervert, insulting me and "threatening me" that I go to hell along side my mom. Send her a pic of my mom giving me a kiss. Got blocked. Good day, my Mom and I laughed our asses of that evening. Fell asleep on her shoulder. Lovely evening. She has always been the most important person in my life like... she is my mom ffs. She raised me, taught me to be a proper human being. People seeing something dirty or sexual in that are sick in their head.
Yeah I dont have a father and I have to say i am endlessly envious of these pics. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of, when I have a Son I'm going to kick it into overdrive.
The man who trolled the picture of Joe and his son is letting his hatred and politics ruin his life. I am no fan of Joe Biden at all, but that was uncalled for and over the top. I wish I could have heard my father say "I love you, son" or just once initiate a hug to me as we see in the picture of Joe Biden and his son. To the guy who trolled the Biden picture: you need to sit down and really think about your life and what you are doing with it.
I agree with your comment, but not your political views.

I feel sorry for those who obviously don't know what love from a parent is. All of these pictures are amazing!
Fortunately, most people all over the world is normal, which means that dads hug their sons and daugthers with love, embrace and kiss them and take care of them just as moms do (and nobody would criticize women for kissing and embracing their kids) . Men and women do the same things concerning their offspring. That's normality. The abnormal, the inmoral is what is not the rule. Is what must be punished. Nobody should shame another people for showing love for their children.
Dads who are not afraid to show affection! Their children are BLESSED and certainly have a healthy self-esteem! If only all kids could have such wonderful fathers!
These photos brought tears to my eyes. My father not only never kissed me, he never touched me!
Ok ok I’m not saying that I like Biden or even hate Biden I just don’t really care about him. But what the heck mother’s can kiss their children and hold them and people wil be commenting on pictures of moms holding and kissing there grown children and say it’s beautiful but dads can’t do the same???? Like the person who said that was wrong must not have a very good relationship with their dad because this is perfectly normal
These photos are not staged for publicity. These photos show family life in candid and spontaneous settings. The Biden photo is shot in a studio and obviously staged for publicity.
Gotta respond. Biden is not creepy because of photo of him kissing his son. You know damn well why people think Joe and his son are creepy.
I'm female, but even I love hugs from my dad. He used to read to me and sing to me when I was small. And we had tickle fights. He just recently let me have a phone, too. I'm a teen lol.
these are beautiful. maybe if more fathers would show their sons emotions and affection they wouldn't be so scared of it when they become men.
While the other posters show genuine affection between fathers and sons, Hunter’s photo is wired. It looks like a genuine hug from Joe, but Hunter is not reciprocating or participating in the mutual hug. Instead, his eyes are on the photographer, and his expression seems to say, “Are you getting this? This is your chance for a great photo op.”
I feel like that's more Hunter's fault than it is Biden's
Load More Replies... I wish I had a picture of my sons dad kissing him. The prick thought showing affection was un-manly. He died old and alone, I wonder why, (not)???
This photo of Joe and his son is son. It is NOT “creepy” or “inappropriate “.Its a photo of a dad showing his son that he loves him! There is NOTHING wrong with that! I also LOVE all the dad and son photos....it actually made me cry!
I worry that the USA's fear and judgement over male affection will transfer to my country where thankfully men can still be affectionate with their family and friends (kisses, hugs, hand holding, dancing together, etc) without it being seen as sexual.
My Dad was never very demonstrative toward my brother (even though he was the favorite) because he grew up in that whole "toxic masculinity" culture. He wasn't really all that comfortable with physical affection period, to be honest. Fast forward to April of 2014, when he found out he had stage 4 lung cancer. He couldn't hug or kiss ANY of us enough. He passed away on August 18, 2014 after a (thankfully) brief period of time.
Dads kissing their young sons are - should be - an everyday thing. How ever I thought this post would show how that token of love had followed up to the sons adulthood. But there are just a few of them represented in this post 😞
Really? Why is one party so obsessed with sex and genitals as if they’re pure and should rule over others - consenting adults - who do what they do and... if we are all equal, they should never get to rule over the bodies of strangers (women). Doing so makes us less of a full person. Not having it. Truth is, this is all show and snake oil. It works for their base. It’s so creepy that they do this. These anti gay, anti equality, anti woman, anti sexuality (trust me - their damnable obsession actually belies what they really think/do) - are truly odd. If they want a serious argument about actual deviance, they should focus on why their Trump* is silent about his close friend and pedophile who I think is still in jail - and that whole horrific criminal abuse spanning years. Ghislane (sp?) somebody. Who wishes pedophiles well? Being LGBTQ+ is normal. Always has been, always will be. I’m straight - that’s normal too. It’s abnormal to see a loving dad loving his son.
I don't think it's the cheek-kiss that's inappropriate, it's the weird death-stare from Hunter while it's going on that makes it creepy. Biden has done a fair few creepy things in his time at the top though, just as weird as Trump fancying his daughter, at least she's of legal age! You look at all the pics here and find me one that looks creepy like that Biden one...
Biden is just being a parent who loves his son. Not telling the world that his son is hot and that he would date him if he could. Trump is a gross pig, Biden is just being a good father.
Go to middle east and learn how humans interact. The love and bond of a family is much greater there and unlike the west not every action is translated to a sexual act.
Hugging your son (child or adult) and giving them a kiss is unnatural? Wrong? I don't see that. I think it's the most natural thing between parents and children. (I wonder what kind of mind these disproving people have? That physical touch is only for sexual purposes? Weird!)
Just get out of america and people kiss each other to say hello, goodbye and a whole host of other reasons. We are not all repressed putitans. And if you want creepy just have a look at those pictures of trump with his underage daughter. Or hanging out with a known paedophile/people smuggler. Im no american and usually i couldnt give a f**k what you civilised animals do to each other but get your f*****g house in order. Its such a train wreck I cant believe any of you have the audacity to look each other in the eye.
I see you have missed out 'those photos' that would be on every news article had it been Trump.
To all the Trumpers: if you voted for a man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you don't get to criticize Biden.
You guys who are trash talking trump, you ass wholes, you have no right too!!! Who are you to say that about him?!?!?! He helped are country a ton so shut the f up!!!
Trolls are probably all Trump-humpers with daddy issues and are defined by toxic masculinity. Can't stand seeing anyone care about another person.
Anyone who sees something “wrong” with that sweet photo is likely projecting and has some baggage they may want to examine more closely with the help of a professional. Or they’re just disgusting.
Biden is a child molester and so is his son. His son is also nothing but a crackhead to. I still can't believe he is our president. He is destroying America. We need Trump back. SO WE CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
You're a moron. We need Trump back like I need a red-hot poker up my ass.

I wish I could have heard my father say "I love you, son" or just once initiate a hug to me as we see in the picture of Joe Biden and his son. To the guy who trolled the Biden picture: you need to sit down and really think about your life and what you are doing with it.
I agree with your comment, but not your political views.

Fortunately, most people all over the world is normal, which means that dads hug their sons and daugthers with love, embrace and kiss them and take care of them just as moms do (and nobody would criticize women for kissing and embracing their kids) . Men and women do the same things concerning their offspring. That's normality. The abnormal, the inmoral is what is not the rule. Is what must be punished. Nobody should shame another people for showing love for their children.
Dads who are not afraid to show affection! Their children are BLESSED and certainly have a healthy self-esteem! If only all kids could have such wonderful fathers!
These photos brought tears to my eyes. My father not only never kissed me, he never touched me!
Ok ok I’m not saying that I like Biden or even hate Biden I just don’t really care about him. But what the heck mother’s can kiss their children and hold them and people wil be commenting on pictures of moms holding and kissing there grown children and say it’s beautiful but dads can’t do the same???? Like the person who said that was wrong must not have a very good relationship with their dad because this is perfectly normal
These photos are not staged for publicity. These photos show family life in candid and spontaneous settings. The Biden photo is shot in a studio and obviously staged for publicity.
Gotta respond. Biden is not creepy because of photo of him kissing his son. You know damn well why people think Joe and his son are creepy.
I'm female, but even I love hugs from my dad. He used to read to me and sing to me when I was small. And we had tickle fights. He just recently let me have a phone, too. I'm a teen lol.
these are beautiful. maybe if more fathers would show their sons emotions and affection they wouldn't be so scared of it when they become men.
While the other posters show genuine affection between fathers and sons, Hunter’s photo is wired. It looks like a genuine hug from Joe, but Hunter is not reciprocating or participating in the mutual hug. Instead, his eyes are on the photographer, and his expression seems to say, “Are you getting this? This is your chance for a great photo op.”
I feel like that's more Hunter's fault than it is Biden's

This photo of Joe and his son is son. It is NOT “creepy” or “inappropriate “.Its a photo of a dad showing his son that he loves him! There is NOTHING wrong with that! I also LOVE all the dad and son photos....it actually made me cry!
I worry that the USA's fear and judgement over male affection will transfer to my country where thankfully men can still be affectionate with their family and friends (kisses, hugs, hand holding, dancing together, etc) without it being seen as sexual.
My Dad was never very demonstrative toward my brother (even though he was the favorite) because he grew up in that whole "toxic masculinity" culture. He wasn't really all that comfortable with physical affection period, to be honest. Fast forward to April of 2014, when he found out he had stage 4 lung cancer. He couldn't hug or kiss ANY of us enough. He passed away on August 18, 2014 after a (thankfully) brief period of time.
Dads kissing their young sons are - should be - an everyday thing. How ever I thought this post would show how that token of love had followed up to the sons adulthood. But there are just a few of them represented in this post 😞
Really? Why is one party so obsessed with sex and genitals as if they’re pure and should rule over others - consenting adults - who do what they do and... if we are all equal, they should never get to rule over the bodies of strangers (women). Doing so makes us less of a full person. Not having it. Truth is, this is all show and snake oil. It works for their base. It’s so creepy that they do this. These anti gay, anti equality, anti woman, anti sexuality (trust me - their damnable obsession actually belies what they really think/do) - are truly odd. If they want a serious argument about actual deviance, they should focus on why their Trump* is silent about his close friend and pedophile who I think is still in jail - and that whole horrific criminal abuse spanning years. Ghislane (sp?) somebody. Who wishes pedophiles well? Being LGBTQ+ is normal. Always has been, always will be. I’m straight - that’s normal too. It’s abnormal to see a loving dad loving his son.
I don't think it's the cheek-kiss that's inappropriate, it's the weird death-stare from Hunter while it's going on that makes it creepy. Biden has done a fair few creepy things in his time at the top though, just as weird as Trump fancying his daughter, at least she's of legal age! You look at all the pics here and find me one that looks creepy like that Biden one...
Biden is just being a parent who loves his son. Not telling the world that his son is hot and that he would date him if he could. Trump is a gross pig, Biden is just being a good father.
Go to middle east and learn how humans interact. The love and bond of a family is much greater there and unlike the west not every action is translated to a sexual act.
Hugging your son (child or adult) and giving them a kiss is unnatural? Wrong? I don't see that. I think it's the most natural thing between parents and children. (I wonder what kind of mind these disproving people have? That physical touch is only for sexual purposes? Weird!)
Just get out of america and people kiss each other to say hello, goodbye and a whole host of other reasons. We are not all repressed putitans. And if you want creepy just have a look at those pictures of trump with his underage daughter. Or hanging out with a known paedophile/people smuggler. Im no american and usually i couldnt give a f**k what you civilised animals do to each other but get your f*****g house in order. Its such a train wreck I cant believe any of you have the audacity to look each other in the eye.
I see you have missed out 'those photos' that would be on every news article had it been Trump.
To all the Trumpers: if you voted for a man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you don't get to criticize Biden.
You guys who are trash talking trump, you ass wholes, you have no right too!!! Who are you to say that about him?!?!?! He helped are country a ton so shut the f up!!!
Trolls are probably all Trump-humpers with daddy issues and are defined by toxic masculinity. Can't stand seeing anyone care about another person.
Anyone who sees something “wrong” with that sweet photo is likely projecting and has some baggage they may want to examine more closely with the help of a professional. Or they’re just disgusting.
Biden is a child molester and so is his son. His son is also nothing but a crackhead to. I still can't believe he is our president. He is destroying America. We need Trump back. SO WE CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
You're a moron. We need Trump back like I need a red-hot poker up my ass.
