I am disgusted by the guy saying no man should feel comfortable having this sort of physical contact with another grown man, cause it's unmanly. Sir, it's a father and son, how is it unmanly to have a bond with your children/parents. It's thinking like that that creates emotionally effed up toxic men. Also: fellas, is it gay to hug your son?

Wait, you people are telling me that you dont hug your dads/your dad doesnt hug you? Hell, I'm so sorry for you!! You should see my Dad when I come home for the weekend. Take your toxic masculinity and stuff it up your ass 'cause thats where s**t is supposed to be!

Some people tick me off. Let fathers hug their sons. There is LITERALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. I hug my dad regularly, and it's not weird.

Imagine being the kind of degenerate that would have a problem with this. It seems like they need a hug, or a shot from a fly salt gun. That’s how I want to deal with pests. I love it, I love it, I love it. 🥰 We really take physical contact from loved ones for granted. Why would anyone have a problem with an amazing and touching display of male bonding?

This is sad. He should be able to hug his son toxic masculinity aside.

This is not only fathers. Kids also feel this weird pressure not be inimate. My son who I see maybe once a month gives me a brief hug. I remember snuggling with both my parents and falling asleep watching Columbo as a teenager. And it wasn´t weird.

Hug your father too much it’s inappropriate. Father is absent it’s inappropriate. Wtf do you want internet

i never had that kind of 'display of affection' with my dad if i can say it like that. but he was always there, always played with my brother and i always come to watch us played hockey. even in his suicide note about 20 years ago where he wrote that he always loved me, i always figure that he didn't need to told it. only by his act i know he was. i think what's hurting me the most about this is he never had to chance to saw his 3 grandkids... oh god he would have loved to saw them play soccer

At the end of the day, anyone who is made uncomfortable by people not in a romantic relationship cuddling because they love each other (be that through friendship or family bonds) has a problem. As a 32 year old man, I wish my dad were still alive to hug and cuddle.

I grew up with (one side of the family) hugging, etc., and it was just normal to be affectionate. We were family, we knew it was normal (for us), and it was just a fact of life. Hugs, cuddles, cheek-kisses... Whatevs. So this horror at a dad and son loving each other in a healthy way? Really freaks me out.

I'm a 48YO female. Hugged my father once when I was maybe 10 or 12 when he was leaving for a business trip. Mom made us do it. Hella awkward. First and last hug. (BTW, He's still alive) I've seen affectionafe fathers and think it's amazing. People who criticize it need a hug more than anyone.

This is ridiculous. 😡 Everyone deserves hugs and affection.

What I find most bizarre is that they say it's OK for father and daughter, or mother and daughter/son, but dad's aren't allowed to show affection. If they found a guy sitting like this with his mother to be weird too, it would at least make them consistent. Anyhow, yes, so many people just don't understand what toxic masculinity actually means. Just like to add, I'd find a woman slapping my ass to be weird - and don't men do that in sports games all the time?

I think it is great . Because the last time my(alc addict) dad called was for my sis bday in Dec last year I'm 12 now i wish i had a dad it's such a burden in india i have to lie every time that my dad works in Brazil when he is actually dating and drinking in SEA(south East Asian) countries

I have a few gay friends and I'm happy to go out to clubs with them. I'm not gay but I will happily get up and dance with them or hug them no matter where I am. I've lost some friends over it but if that their attitude I dont want them as friends. To me these father son pics are the same thing, and if showing your love for friends and family is wrong you better jail me now

Strangely, I don't see Leo H ranting and whining here yet, but I guess it's acceptable that he's afk some of his time.

bruh why we gotta judge? what, you can't cuddle with the homies anymore? is it GAY now to kiss the homies goodnight? *scoff* PSHAWWW

My dad and I are pretty close. Like best friends. We even share women.

Toxic masculinity is when ANYONE reinforces those stereotypes, not just men....

get over it , I kiss my mom 4 times in a day I'm 46 still love her heaps

Those pictures are beautiful! Shame on those who don't feel the same!

It's not the men touching each other who have the problem. In this any sin is strictly in the eye--and the mind--of the beholder. I have noticed that most people who get pissed off at other people's touch seem to be voyeurs. That is, they take personal pleasure in judging and disapproving. But they still watch.

He looks like he just has been grounded XD Lovely photo thou

EXACTLY. Those people getting butthurt about men hugging and crying are such crybabies. I'm, like... mildly amused.

look at the body language in each photo. dad lovin', son lovin'...then dad is relaxed and son looks stressed, theres the story. the kid is stressed. whoever took the pic must have thought the moment was something to capture, because all the photos display lovin' as its happening.

I dont see the problem here, let them snuggle if they want. But can people just be allowed to have their opinions? So f*****g sick of this. Oh you think something slightly different than me!? BURN THE WITCH!
