[–]Sornos 209 points210 points ago

But he almost didn't. Timone and Pumba taught him to be lazy and do nothing with his life. They were not what propelled him to overthrow Scar and take back his kingdom.

They were awful parents.

[–]FuhrerVonSwagg 87 points88 points ago

Terrible parents, but great buddies. I think that's the problem with parent's now, they want to be friends with their kids. BULL CRAP, be the parent!

[–]Astrapsody 7 points8 points ago

Why not...why not both?

[–]FuhrerVonSwagg 61 points62 points ago

You can, later in life, once the kids are grown, but be a parent first. I'm very close to my parents, but when I was a kid my dad was The Dad, and his word was law, we still had good times, but if he told me to do something I damn well did it.

[–]ChuchuCannon 21 points22 points ago

But remember, this means be the PARENT, not the ASSHOLE. If you raise your kids right, keeping the asshole level to a minimum should be a synch

[–]muffinmonk 20 points21 points ago

cinch

Also, it's damned near impossible not be an asshole to your kids. Sometimes they won't listen to reason and/or are stubborn and that's when asshole parenting is in full effect.

[–]bkm190 5 points6 points ago

It's pretty tough to be a parent without also being an asshole occasionally, at least from the kids point of view.

[–]ChuchuCannon 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, kids are people too. And like any person, you have to be an asshole sometimes xP just not 24/7

[–]CowsWithGuns304 6 points7 points ago

Thank you for saying this, my father has never grasped the concept of not being an arsehole to his kids, or anyone else really.

[–]FuhrerVonSwagg 2 points3 points ago

Of course, love is the biggest part, and knowing that the parent wants to make you a better man/woman, then they are. Plus it helps if your dad has cool stories. My dads stories would blow your mind.

[–]402newguy 1 point2 points ago

I think it's cinch

[–]ChuchuCannon 2 points3 points ago

Yeah i noticed that right as i posted it, but it's a pain in the ass to edit comments from my phone :P

[–]SquishMitt3n 0 points1 point ago

My father didn't quite get this concept.

[–]nonresponsive 0 points1 point ago

Do you remember when you were a kid? Honestly if I had to raise myself as a child, I would slap myself upside the head quite a few times for just being plain dumb.

[–]blaghart 0 points1 point ago

same here. I used to hate going to my dad's because he was the rules...but now my mom is all lectures while my father treats me as an adult who is going on his own path.

    You could make the argument that the only reason he lived is because Timone and Pumba had no real values beyond live with the moment. Take the lion cub? Why not. Sure. Whatever, man.

      He would have died without them in the first place.

      They were his hobo mentors. I guess that's kinda like parents.

      [–]Illivah 8 points9 points ago

      I will henceforth refer to timone and pumba as hobomentors.

      [–]erbtastic 0 points1 point ago

      And I will refer to my parents in the same.

      [–]Midnightruth 7 points8 points ago

      Timone and Pumba took Simba under their wing after the Coup D'état from Scar. They showed him how the animals of their kind lived down the ''social scale'' so he can in the future help and understand the animals in the jungle. So his not too disconnected from them and their needs, unlike Scar who don't give a damn about anybody in the kingdom.

      They wanted to make him a King close to his people, the people champ goddammit.

      If he hadn't meet Timone and Pumba and his dad hasn't die, he would have end up a selfish King that was spoiled since his birth and would have been killed easily by Scar or the animal in his kingdom would have overthrow him.

      [–]Krsst14 3 points4 points ago

      Musfasa had great respect for all of the animals of the kingdom. (See Circle of Life Speech where the lion's bodies become the grass and the animals eat the grass etc...) Had Simba not lost his father, I think he would have turned out much more like Mufasa and far less like Scar. Simba was not raised to be a spoiled brat. His parents did teach him things. They were just not around long enough to have the impact they needed. Note, in the end, it is Mufasa who reminds him who he is and sends Simba back to take his place as king.

      [–]Hotrootsoup 2 points3 points ago

      My teacher actually gave quite a good speech about how Timon and Pumbaa were bad guys in that movie for that same reason.

      [–]lawofgrace 2 points3 points ago

      also, it's a movie.

      [–]twoclose 1 point2 points ago

      Additionally, they weren't faggots.

      [–]LinXitoW -1 points0 points ago

      Yes, but monarchies are bad, so...

      [–]MelancholicFool 1 point2 points ago

      Exactly! They fed him a diet of insects. Lions don't eat bugs!

      [–]WonkaKnowsBest 0 points1 point ago

      He also turned out to be a little bitch too.

      [–]Wolfman87 1 point2 points ago

      Also they did little to help him with his crippling emotional issues. "Let's have fun all the time" is no way to raise a child.

        You do realize you are using a warthog and a meerkat raising a lion, as a comparison for two male humans raising a baby? And also Mufasa taught Simba life lessons and responsibilities of a king. Timon and Pumbaa taught Simba how to turn his back on everyone, and live only for himself.

        [–]0h00m 257 points258 points ago

        Also. They're cartoons.

        [–]IDoNotAgreeWithYou 154 points155 points ago

        And they're not gay.

        [–]0h00m 103 points104 points ago

        And it's a scripted scenario.

        [–]I_Photoshop_Movies 87 points88 points ago

        And they're not humans.

        [–]0h00m 33 points34 points ago

        No no no no. None of this is adding up.

        [–]gabriot 19 points20 points ago

        I've found the solution, and it all comes back to a question: "How the fuck is this OP an adviceanimal?"

        [–]mikev7743 6 points7 points ago

        You're all forgetting something very important. "Hakuna Matata."

            But OP is trying to use them as parallels to real life, so I think the comment's just trying to respond along that vein.

            [–]cryingblackman 15 points16 points ago

            OP is trying to justify him being a whore.

            If anything he would've let the kingdom go to shit if it wasn't for Nala.

            But the meerkat was voiced by Nathan Lane. Check.

            You do realize that the warthog, meerkat, and lions in question are not only fictional but also animated? I myself was shocked, SHOCKED, to find that out.

            You are absolutely correct. I did not understand the concept until you pointed that out. Thank you for the insight. jabberworx you have given me a gift on my cakeday, the gift of knowledge. Good on you, cheers!

                1) Saw this on Facebook last week. Reporting from FB? Seriously?

                2) The comparison is terrible. They aren't living humans. They're cartoon characters. Of course they did a good job, the script says so.

                3) Simba was selfish, a dirty hippy (as opposed to the nice clean ones), careless, and a FUCKING LION. (Cue my old friend BITCH_IM_A_LION)

                4) We don't care to discuss politics here. Or lifestyle choices.

                5) Image macro. Cue rage that is pointless. The other rages are not pointless though.

                Even if you think they were born homosexuals... none of us are born parents.

                Disney movies actually have a dearth of mothers. Think about it; Belle was motherless, Cinderella and Snow White had stepmothers, Aladdin was an orphan and Jasmine didn't have a mother. And they hardly ever even acknowledge that their mothers are missing. It's weird.

                [–]tjm80 1 point2 points ago

                Never really thought about the others. With the exception of Lion King and (sort of) Bambi, I can't think of any other Disney movies that represent a "two parent" household off the top of my head.

                Yes, they raised him to run from his problems and say 'fuck it, shit happens'. Parenting: they did it wrong.

                This is a good comparison if you are against gays adopting children. I will post here what I wrote on facebook when I saw this picture

                They only raised him correctly in that he didn't end up dead or as a blood-thirsty rapist, but he was definitely a disgruntled lowlife to which their response was 'hakuna matata', a phrase that is shown as abhorrent as the movie progresses. His change to a person (lion) of any meaning or substance comes after he sees Nala again, and has the encounter with the baboon and his father's ghost, at this point he grows up and becomes a man (lion). Timon and Pumbaa effectively held him down, keeping him in the childish hakuna matata mindset long after he should have grown up, which I would say is bad parenting.

                Also, Mufasa was pissed at him for acting like such a schmuck.

                [–]bobisgoofy 1 point2 points ago

                    Statistically, single parents often (but certainly not always) fall into lower socioeconomic status (especially if more than one child is involved, or if it is a single mother). Socioeconomic status has a huge effect on how a child does in school, some studies suggest it affects kids even more than quality of education. That said, gay parents won't make a kid gay any more than straight parents make a kid straight.

                    [–]MsMorningstar 1 point2 points ago

                    Sociologically, it is more likely for those that already fall into the category of low SES to become single mothers. While caring for a child with only one income is certainly a strain, low SES causes single motherhood more than single motherhood causes low SES.

                    [–]tubadude86 0 points1 point ago

                    I'm not arguing that, simply that statistically, having a single parent, especially a single mother puts a child at a disadvantage. By saying that the fall into lower SES I meant it as a category of sorts, just saying that single mothers generally come from lower SES. I think we agree on that.

                    Why can't we hold people accountable (male and female) for their offspring?

                    A child is best raised by its natural mother and natural father. Both should be expected to properly raise what they have brought into this world.

                    If either natural parent fails to fulfill their role, they should be held accountable by us as a society.

                    Fuck.

                    Regardless of the content or meaning of the picture, it pisses me the hell off. Simply because lately I've been seeing pictures like this here and on other subreddits that I saw weeks before on fucking Facebook.

                    Seriously?

                    This is the kind of thing I see from 12year olds who post about this debate on FB not because they actually have an informed opinion, but because they want to look cool and controversial.

                    Um, you prob don't want to present a cartoon as support for your arguments in reality. Unless you run Acme Incorporated, I guess.

                    [–]ferdoodle24 1 point2 points ago

                    Last time I checked, neither a meerkat, nor a warthog were considered men. The statement would have been correct if you said two males however.

                    Okay no.... he didn't kill his Uncle. Simba kicked Scar off the face of a mountain, and watched as a pack of vicious hyenas ripped him apart and presumably ate him. So no Simba turned out fine, if you consider feeding your Uncle to a pack of hungry dogs fine..... but yeah, I totally understand the message.

                    [–]jacobtaylor1987 0 points1 point ago

                    Yeah, but only Timon was gay.

                    To be fair, on that picture Simba's got a rather stereotype 90 degree tilt to his hand. Looks like a, dare I say, -dandy lion-?

                    Mufasa could probly kick the shit out of Simba. That's how he kept scar in check all those years. Scar was down to throw down with Simba because he knew he had a chance.

                    Simba pretty much went off and became a stoner, neglecting his true responsibilities. Much like me, as a matter of fact...

                    I remember an article in a magazine (QUO iirc) about the huge amount of subliminal crap stuffed in that movie, among the most evil ones was commune with the deceased and homoparental child rising.

                    Goddamnit, it's a fucking cartoon. And to say that Timon and Pumbaa had any real parenting skills is kinda funny, if anything they were children right along with Simba. Stop using fucking children's movies to further political motives.

                    [–]lvlegabyte 0 points1 point ago

                    Timone and Pumba only took up Simba because the wanted to use him as protection from other predictors.

                    They were just going to forget about him until, "You know, having a lion around might not be such a bad idea." Meaning, he didn't care if Simba was a cub that probably would have died. Having a lion (any lion) around on their side would be beneficial to Timone and Pumba. Even when Simba get's older, they make fun of Sumba's idea of what stars were while Timone and Pumba's ideas weren't made fun of. They only stay with Simba because he's good protection and has power.
