Let's recall that in Goof Troop he:>Temporarily forbade PJ from hanging out with Max just because he hated Goofy's guts>Made PJ pull all-nighters studying math threatening to ground him forever>Pretended to be deathly ill just to make PJ do his job for him while he's out fishing>Lied to PJ about being a fearless pilot while in reality he chickened simply from climbing a ladderClearly he either didn't bother parenting his son all that much or favored Pistol more.

>>150551922Yeah, Pete was a shitbag.He still cared about his kids, but showed it in counterproductive ways, not helped by being exceptionally dumb and lazy. Also he didn't care about Pistol more, he was just easily manipulated.Goofy was ALSO very dumb and probably a bad father, but he tried his level best, and most importantly wasn't too proud to admit it when he fucked up.
>>150554343>He still cared about his kidsHe cared about them as he viewed them an extension of himself. They were his property. It's frequent behavior in narcissistic parents—they only love you when you're useful and/or feed their ego. Many times, that's why people have kids. They want to raise little sycophants, and they get mad when it turns out their kids are actually independent people.
>>150554519Whose cock? Max's?
Who's more likely to end up in the shittiest retirement home his son can find: Goofy or Pete?
>>150555593Pete dies at the age of 60 to one of many fat related causes of death.
>>150555615You're missing the point of the question.
>>150555593Definitely Pete. While Goof is a bad father, his fuck ups come from simply being himself and wishing the best for Max, which the latter often acknowledges in both the series and the movies. He wouldn't do his pop badly. Pete, on the other hand, treats his son like his property and doesn't give two shits about PJ's well-being or show him any fatherly love. If anything, PJ would probably visit Goofy alongside Max more.
>>150555694And there you have it. I think that answers OP's question just fine.
>>150551922In Pete's defense he knew PJ wouldn't resent him for doing those things because PJ would still sneak around Pete's back and stay friends with Max to get into more shenanigan and also was not abused by him either. Pete was just a hardline father figure and it is very common. PJ was meek, timid and soft. Pete was trying to prepare him for the world by being the scarier version of it.
>>150551922Overall, yes he was. Though, his counter to Goofy that “My son respects me!” in the movie wasn’t meant to be him in denial over the effectiveness over his parenting methods, just a contrast. Pete treats his son as his son, but only insofar as he understands overt obedience and lack of backtalk as “respect”, while Goofy wants to treat Max as still his little man and best friend. And neither one was fully in the right, since you could tell that while Pete would never have to deal with PJ lying to his face like Max did, he’ll never gain the full trust and understanding that Goofy did with his son either due to never being willing to open up to him like Goofy eventually did with Max.
The only bad dad I can think of in 90s cartoons was Helga's dad. Imagine betting your family livelihood on pagers
>>150551922He's not a good father but I can't call him bad either. He doesn't slap his family around (that we know of), and he provides. He actually has a fair point when he and Goofy are talking about how kids should respect their parents but Pete confuses his sons fear for respect. Also despite his bluster it seems like Peg keeps him in check...and for a fat fuck to get top shelf MILF pussy like her? He probably stays in line.
>>150555593Goofy is just that, a goof. He's not a bad person. Pete however is very aware of his actions.
>>150556701Funny thing is that there's speculation that Peg eventually divorced him, given that there's zero sign of her, Pistol or the dog in either of the movies
>>150556117Beepers were useful in the 90s and he'd eventually shift to cellphones anyway if he isn't retarded.
