Why do people cope that "dale knew" so much? Is it because it makes it seem like he's fine with being cucked or makes them feel better being cucked?
>>152692809>it because it makes it seem like he's fine with being cuckedThis one. I want my boy to be happy. And not blissfully ignorant happy, regular happy.
>>152692809They're joking, you know, that thing non autistic people can recognize.
I’m in a cuckholding relationship, but it’s not gonna change my feelings about it if Dale Gribble isn’t into this stuff. I was fine with it when Connie decided she didn’t want to be emotionally distant fuckbuddies that pretend they’re really dating with Chane. To each his own.
>>152692960How often does suicide become an option?
>>152692809Because it's funny.
>>152692996Rarely, but its unrelated to my sex relationship stuff.
>>152692960>I’m in a cuckholding relationshipI'm so sorry.
>>152692996NTA, but what do you mean?Suicide is always an option.
>>152693196Some people have kids and don’t want to leave them parentless.
I mean, it’s great to have representation of consenting characters once in a while. But for how rare and complicated of a fetish it is, it’s impressive how often it comes up in adult animated sitcoms already. We’re not like gays who go around expecting every show to have one.
>>152693421Its all degeneracy at the end of the day
>>152693445This
>>152693247This is too dark for KotH, but damn. Joseph would be so fucking sad if Dale found out and shot himself and then Joseph thought it was somehow his fault for being John Redcorn’s “son.”
>>152693445>>152693500Cope
>>152693421If anything, too much rep would ruin the magic.
>>152693196Well, I didn't say it was a GOOD option.Still an option, though.
>>152693510But enough about you.
>>152693600This comic sucks for pretending to be sexually open and understanding, but then also immediately shaming raceplay fetishists as though that of all places is where to draw the line.
>>152693630Having a white woman tell me I can’t participate in a fetish because I’m the wrong race for the wrong role is far more dehumanizing than fucking melvin’s wife while he watches.
Why are so many people on 4chan scared of something that will never happen to them?
>>152692809It inherently adds depth to his character, in a time when everyone wants to always tack on deeper meanings and things. But I don't think it would be better if he knew and was at peace with it while also praising Nancy as the best woman ever (and not in ways that people could always say was him guilting her, he says it to anyone including a one-off woman who liked him and no one who knew about the affair was there to hear it.) Sadly there's no real happy angle to it, there's always that bitterness of him not knowing and yet valuing her more than she deserves or valued him, even after she tried to swing back to him. Even after they make the point of Joseph being more Dale's son than someone who isn't raising him.
>>152694850But in the situation presented he is not at peace. He is taking revenge on both his wife and Redcorn. In Nancy’s case he makes her slowly lose her mind and have to balance the secret and the guilt and when she eventually gets with Dale properly she finds out that she will go bald, not to mention there is the whole episode where Dale meets his perfect woman and just goes “nah man I love my wife”. In Redcorn’s case it’s obvious since the guy is some 40 year old burnout that lives in a trailer and has no real legacy save for children that don’t know or care about him outside of being a family friend. And he is constantly doing whatever he can to find a way to pass anything on. But even then has failed since Joseph is just Dale 2.0 in the body of a brawny half breed boy. And even if he does find out I doubt he is going to be happy about it, I mean he is effectively going to learn that everyone has been lying to him and Dale for over two decades. Dale is Joseph’s father, they say as much in the episode when Redcorn gets all weepy about it.
>>152694953>burnout that lives in a trailer and has no real legacy save for children that don’t know or care about him outside of being a family friend>Joseph is just Dale 2.0 in the body of a brawny half breed boyNot saying you’re wrong, but I’m looking forward to Joe and John entering a new phase of their relationship in the form of horse buddies. It doesn’t make Joseph significantly less like Dale or any less his son, but I do think it’s interesting how much more Joseph seems to like animals, whereas Dale’s relationship to most animals is killing them. Like, sure, Dale has kept a lot of creatures before that can sort of be described as pets, but I can’t really picture him ever being instantly enamored with a horse the way Joseph was. And, again, it’s nice to see that blossoming into a small connection with John Redcorn.
>>152692809Because people who lack language to analyze shows thematically love to fall back on thinking of plots as "puzzles" that can be "solved" by thinking of some hidden information that isn't actually part of the series.But if you actually think about it for 2 seconds, the "Dale knew" theory absolutely destroys Dale's character and function on the show, and for what? An easter egg?A lot of the funniest gags on the show are Dale's obliviousness to the affair. It's funny that a character who is suspicious of everything has this gigantic blind spot for the affair happening right behind his back. If you believe that Dale knows, then a lot of these gags just stop being funny. They begin to look like Dale just being a gigantic asshole to taunt Nancy and John Redcorn. And this is better somehow?Another key component of Dale's character is that he's sweet. The guy who is at constant imaginary war with the system, who imagines himself as this badass bounty hunter and collects guns, is actually probably the kindest and most empathetic member of the group. He has such devotion to his wife, son and friend that he can't see the conspiracy right in front of him. The imaginary Dale, the way he likes to picture himself, would be right at home investigating his cheating partner, and marching up to take revenge on Redcorn in cold blood. But a key point of the character is that Dale is not the guy he imagines himself to be. The real Dale loves Nancy, Joseph and John Redcorn so much that he doesn't want this reality to be true and is subconsciously blind to it. Secretly knowing about the affair and just being really passive aggressive about it, is not true to real Dale's character, and not to fantasy Dale's character either. Again, it means he is not a sweet guy who pretends to be a coldblooded bounty hunter, he would just be a run of the mill asshole.
>>152695115I doubt this will actually happen, it was more just a way to deal with a problem.
>>152695115Is the new King of the Hill any good? I forgot it even came out already. Haven't seen it brought up very often, so that doesn't inspire much confidence...
>>152696508Slightly better than seasons 11-13 but nowhere close to golden age, imo
>>152696508It’s decent, not good not bad. The episodes aren’t quite on the level of “Hank gets iPad” but the boomers dealing with modern world stuff can be grating. The only episode I can call bad was the one with GH. While the rest are just sort of there. A big issue is that Kahn is back to being Ted’s suck up which implies that Hank functioned as his spine when he more just gave some decent advice. Also Boomhauer has a GF with a kid which only shows up in side plots and hasn’t really been touched in.
>>152693445True
>>152693421I find it uncomfortable how it's almost always racialized in American media. Like, the cucker is almost always a black guy and the woman and the cuckee is almost always white. It's just creepy to me, like most racial fetishes.It's like "Hey, these arbitrary hierarchies we made up so we can exploit people are now something we get off to." It's more alien to me than the whole watching someone else having sex with your lover part.
>>152693015meanwhile Dale's bloodline dies out and John's proliferates. in the end, that's what matters. in 10 generations none of Joseph's descendants will know who Dale is, but John's blood is preserved.
>>152696743Looks like someone flunked out of memetics 101. The autism will endure and the blood will be irrelevant.
>>152696950how much of your great grandfather's lifestyle have you inherited?
>>152697023Taking into account changes in tech about 85%.
>>152697100bullshit.
>>152692809The thing that stuck out to me is the EVERYONE on that street knew Joseph wasn't Dale's real son, even Kahn, Mihn, & Connie knew too. Even Bobby knew. The only people who didn't know were Dale & Peggy. And Nancy still continued cheating on him despite almost getting her little affair exposed by Peggy.
>>152697104Tell yourself that rootless coward.
>>152697163you're bickering about the lore of a 25 year old cartoon at 3am on a weekday, you are not a quarter of the man your great grandfather was. reflect on yourself and then fuck off.
>>152696743>Muh bloodlineWho gives a shit. I've got my dad's blood and he's a piece of shit nobody, lord knows what his dad was like, or his, or his. We're beyond nobles and purity and shit like that, there's no particular honor to it or anything. At best you can be personally grateful about where you're born or what race you got.All that said though, "my revenge is his kid will love me and not him" is a pretty weak cope. If a dad hits and quits I don't assume he's the type to kick himself over not fulfilling his duties as a husband and father. Hell he'll probably just do it some more.
>>152697213doesn't matter, his blood lives in you and whatever kids you have. a thousand years from now that's literally all that will matter.
>>152697251How does it matter at all? It certainly doesn't matter right now, it certainly didn't matter a thousand years before. So long as whoever breeds doesn't produce a biological reject the world keeps going. We're all just humans making more humans, and none of it's important unless we suddenly decide to needlessly crack open the Eugenics can so we can speedrun the ubermensch and die of inbreeding.
>>152697284and the subversion is complete. in the very near future you will get a vasectomy, it's practically assured.
>>152696743Dale has probably donated a fuck ton of his sperm anonymously to a Sperm Bank just so he could one day replace his failing organs with his children without the emotional baggage he'd get from trying it with Joseph
>>152696508I liked it. One of the better reboots. It’s not a perfectly seamless extension of the series, but it still goes off of the original way better than I would have expected. Some of the voices sounding different is a little annoying, but it sorta can’t be helped.
>>152696504It’s happening in my headcanon, and that’s what matters.
>>152697192I’m actually more of a man since I’m nearly a foot taller than him. But I see you have to trivialize and cry now that your point has been btfo and you outed yourself as a rootless coward who has no values or generational experience to rely on.
>>152696743What with Dale’s dad being gay, Dale got pretty lucky being born with both his parents’ genetics at all. And he got pretty far marrying Nancy when he coulda just wound up alone.
>>152696731>the cucker is almost always a black guyWell, the bull from the example that started this thread is Native American. Which doesn’t change your point at all, but is a distinction to be made.
>>152698200>Dale got pretty lucky being born with both his parents’ genetics at all.What a strange thing to say
>>152698297Some version of Dale might exist in a hypothetical world where his mother married a straight man.
>>152698354The same could be said of you, what makes that particularly lucky or unlucky?
>>152698356Because Bug’s a cool guy and Dale is lucky to have inherited his clown like reflexes.
>>152698356We’re talking about Dale passing on his genetics. Dale’s genetics would not exist in the first place if his father did not consummate a lavender marriage. Ergo, they only exist by luck, because he’s lucky enough to exist in a world where is gay dad was socially pressured to breed.
>>152696743In 10 Generations John will only share 0.098% of his DNA with his offspring. That child will literally share more DNA with their 3rd Cousin once removed.
>>152698145>One of the better reboots *revivals It's a direct continuation, not a complete reimagining with an all-new canon.
>>152696743>in 10 generations none of Joseph's descendants will know who Dale is, but John's blood is preserved.Do YOU know who your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was? A family's legacy is not in the blood, dude.
>>152699149Ah so that’s the distinction
>>152699252>fatherAre you suggesting it’s in the name?
>>152692960>
>>152699270Did you really think there weren’t any unironic cucks on /co/?
>>152697213> I don't assume he's the type to kick himself over not fulfilling his duties as a fatherRedcorn didn’t think he was gonna grow into that type as he got older, but he did.
>>152699364Yeah because KOTH is fictional
>>152699431>REAL people can’t grow and change!I feel bad for you.
>>152696743In ten generations, Joseph's descendants will still tell tales of their ancestor, Dale son of Bug, who led the people of Texas to glorious victory over the secret alien invasion. No one will even remember John Redcorn or his tribe ever existed.
>>152699149I think Peggy looks better in the revival.
>>152697667Dale wouldn't donate sperm for two reasons , he would think the government would try cloning him and his future children might ask him for blood/organs some day.
>>152699447People don't change, not for the better. Many people want to, but there is nothing in this world that can truly inspire someone to grow, they can only decay.
>everyone arguing whether Joseph’s descendants are gonna be more meaningfully influenced by Dale or by John Redcorn>missing that this requires Joeseph to get laid by someone whose eggs haven’t already expired yetJoseph was made for cougar MILF pussy. If he’s ever getting a kid, it will be an adult stepkid almost his own age that his future wife already had, if he’s lucky. Maybe Connie.
The entire joke is that Dale is obsessed with conspiracy theories and cryptic myths while at the same time being blind to very obvious deceit happening right in front of him for decades! That's the whole joke! That's what's funny about it! How can so many people not understand such an easy-to-understand running gag?
I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I think Dale growing up with a closeted gay dad mighta been what gave him the imbedded unconscious sense that he’s always surrounded by some horrible big secret that everyone knows about but will never explain to him directly. Like, I know Bug’s over the top flaming homosexual attitude is a further extension of the joke that Dale wouldn’t know a real conspiracy if it bit him on the nose, but knowing that that was a trait of his from early childhood, it makes me think that Dale actually retreated into fake conspiracies as a coping mechanism, to hide himself from truths people taught him he didn’t want to know.
>>152699471I think so, too!
>>152692809>Why do people cope that "dale knew" so much? Is it because it makes it seem like he's fine with being cucked or makes them feel better being cucked?wouldn't it be better if he didn't know? why would he still be with his wife otherwise?
>>152697251Why is it genetic destiny retards don't understand genetics? Genes are undeniably powerful, but a thousand years? That's 40 generations, my guy. His genes will have been diluted to just over 1 in 550 _billion_ in any descendant. And since only ~20,000 genes actually make us, you're looking at state lottery chances that he's even got one single functioning gene in any descendant. Even less when you factor silencing and epigenetics.Nothing about you or him will matter in a thousand years. If someone goes looking for their ancestor, they'll find someone far more interesting in the way to fixate on. If you want a legacy in a hundred years, children are the best way to go, but if you want one in a thousand, culture or environment is the *only* way to go.
>>152701421See >>152693015 for the popular explanation.Alternatively, he might not let on he knows for the same reason nobody tells him. Once it stops being a secret, everyone has to drop the act and confront it, and his whole family falls apart. If he stays with Nancy and Spooner Street knows he knows, everyone also knows he has accepted being a cuck, which is the next most shameful thing to being a cuck that doesn’t know. And mire importantly, if he DOES leave Nancy, Joseph finds out. And, most likely, Dale loses contact with him significantly. No court in their right mind would grant him custody. Even if Nancy is a slut, she’s the one with a real job and a clean record. And no matter what, Dale loves Joseph and always has.
>>152701676Like how those nuclear waste disposal guys concluded that the best way to send a message into the far future is to craft a religion around it.
>>152692809It's a mega cope, people still think Mike Judge is based when he's a total wokie lunatic who gets his kicks off making white men look like retards and wimpsAnd the reboot proves this even more lmao, isn't Bobby a cuck in it as well?
>>152700623plappable
>>152692809Dale always knew because Dale is weird and he knows he is weird. He says consistently he is the luckiest man alive to be married to the hot weather lady. Even if Joseph isn't """"his"""" he is still Joseph father figure and responsible for his happiness and well-being. The same with Nancy.You know, adults being adult about shit?
>>152700623man, I want to fuck Peggy Hill so bad
>>152692960that is kind of heavy dudehope you know what you got yourself intonever spread the love aroundsomeone gets left out
>>152693421>>152692960Being a cuck is a pathetic existence. All you're doing is letting someone else fuck your girl, & which case, you should feel bad. I have more respect for the guy who shoots the cheating wife & her cheating buck in the face before he blows his brains out than someone who enables a cheating vapid whore to continue her evil ways. I wish we could go back to making adultery a capital punishment with a heavy prison sentence & make cuckolding illegal again.
>>152703805>You know, adults being adult about shit?I don't think being an adult means losing your principles or ethics. That just seems dirty.
>>152703974Psh. Okay Mr My Sexual Fetishes Are More Morally Pure Than Yours.
>>152692960Break up with your partner and stop being such an actual cuck.
>>152702372No. Connie starts the season in an “ethically non monogamous” relationship with Chane Wassonasong. Chane and her permit one another to sleep around because neither of them wants to bother with any form of commitment, including sexual exclusivity. But she still doesn’t sleep with Bobby because she considers him “husband material,” and not fuck boy material Towards the end of the season, Connie breaks up with Chane because he’s not meeting any of her emotional needs, as per their agreement, but she gets sick of it and realizes it isn’t worth it to her anymore. Because her relationship with him is pretty much a sham if they won’t support each other in any way. In I think the last episode, Bobby and Connie start dating properly. One of the final scenes is them suggesting they may want to go on a trip to Korea together I don’t think that makes Bobby a cuck. Though Bobby does at one point defend Chane’s character when Connie is starting to consider Chane might be too much of a douche for her. That one part might be called cuck behavior.
>>152696508I liked the new seasons they had a good number of topics they handled well.Only gripes are Dale's VA but that can't be helped and that Luanne sized hole.
>>152704395Dale’s new VA did better than Kahn’s.
>>152692809Subversive takes on traditional relationships are overplayed right now, this is an act of rebellion against those.
>>152693045It's okay to accept not everyone is into the same thing as you.
>>152703974Nice fanfiction
>>152700623Some rules are made to be broken
This bickering over bloodlines and honor is hilarious. You sexless malcontents just latched onto the cucking plotline because you want to troll. Nobody should ever take your word on anything resembling relationships.
>>152704642cute feet
I'm pleasant surprised with how much tail Bobby got in the new season.
>>152696743who the fuck remembers anyone further than 3 or 4 generations back? If you don't do something majorly memorable nothing in your life will remain in anyone's memory in a hundred years.
>>152692960Do you stick to simply enjoying the show, or are you allowed to join them? Do you also have sex with the bull?What race are you and the bull?
>>152707184We’re here to talk about King of the Hill.
I've always said they should've given Dale a second kid after Nancy started being faithful again. It gives him a win while also keeping him being a great dad to JoesphThey could've even made it quite funny
>>152704395>and that Luanne sized hole And what a curvy, voluptuous hole it is!
>>152707695Sure, because we never talk about things off topic; the thread is going fine, anon sharing his cuck life a bit isn't going to derail the whole thread.
>>152707897I always thought the same thing. Maybe have it so Dale is more paranoid about his second kid not being his like in the episode he thought Joseph was an alien.
>>152705673It's strange. In the original seasons, there were quite a few episodes where he's shown to be charismatic and suave enough to woo some girls.Even in the later seasons leading up to the reboot, there was at least one where he wanted to enroll in an etiquette class to meet chicks.
