What the fuck was his problem? Would Dexter have turned out different with another dad?
>>217079473Recognizing and treating the problem early would have resulted in Dexter being kind of an asshole but otherwise functional. Harry deliberately groomed into being a mass murderer and was kind of a scumbag himself. If adult Dexter ran into somebody like Harry, who was teaching his adopted kid how to murder, he'd have killed him.
He didn’t want Dexter going faggot
>>217079524Nah be for real, Dexter would initially try to kill him, but then would become intrigued and try to learn from the guy, and then after the adopted kid ends up almost murdering an innocent person, dexter kills him in the season finale
>>217079473what if dexter had an ugly sister
deb wanted dex to eat her butt, that says it all

>>217079692dex really getting in there
The one thing that would have cured him that he didn't try? Loving Dexter like a son.
>>217080604He did love Dexter that’s why he groomed him into being a vigilante instead of beating his ass
>>217079473Why does Dexter never talk about his adopted mother? She appears in like the first two episodes and then never again.Was she just an NPC?
>>217080726She died when he was young
>>217080624He didn't show him true father-to-son love. He gave him legal guardianship caring, which was insufficient. A boy like Dexter needed more affection, hugs and kisses, from his mom and dad. Harry dropped the ball big time by just acting as a guardian and caretaker instead of a loving father. That's why Dexter became a serial killer.
>>217079616His sister was already ugly
>>217079473Dexter would either be in a mental institution or another typical serial killer killing without remorse. Instead he's a hero that takes out the trash and probably saved over a thousand innocent lives. Harry made the right call. Therapy bullshit wouldn't work, only women believe in that shit. He was well into his mid teens and still had his urges, and his first human kill wasn't until he was 20. He obviously wasn't going to change.
>>217079524>Harry deliberately groomed into being a mass murderer and was kind of a scumbag himselfHarry didn't groom him until he was already in his mid to late teens and still hadn't improved.

Back in the 20th century parents tried to help their kids lean into their natural talents and didn't try to "fix" them with drugs and counselling from some oversocialized roastie.
>>217081400How do you know? Just because we didn't see a bunch of kisses and hugs on screen? They were doing all kinds of bonding, fishing, going to beaches and pumpkin patches, playing sports together. Dexter didn't respond well to a lot of things and called them pointless or boring, and probably wasn't very receptive to physical affection either.
>>217081921He literally does not bring up channeling his urges and killing bad people to Dexter until he was a teenager. It's in the very first episode. What do you mean false?
Dexter is a highly efficient killer that has saved countless lives, and lives a successful life loving what he does, and people act like it's a bad thing. Dexter would be a fucking depressed loser without Harry and would probably also get caught killing innocent people.
>>217082014false
>>217079564>didn't pound his adopted sister every day even when she was desperate for itDidn't work.
>>217081978Harry never once hugged Dexter or told him he loved him, and that's the real reason he became a serial killer.
