U.S. — The New York Times has sounded the alarm, issuing a dire warning to the nation: involved and loving cartoon dads could be the catalyst for an epidemic of involved and loving dads in real life. The jaw-dropping revelation comes after an in-depth analysis of popular animated shows featuring positively portrayed father figures.

According to the Times, the animated landscape is teeming with examples of dads who actively participate in their children's lives, dispense sage advice, and occasionally find themselves in wacky but heartwarming situations. This, the newspaper claims, sets unrealistic expectations for real-life fathers who may now feel compelled to follow suit.

"We cannot underestimate the potential dangers of presenting fathers as supportive, caring individuals who take an active interest in their kids' lives," warns parenting expert Dr. Anita Parker. "These cartoons are planting the dangerous idea that dads can be nurturing and emotionally available while showing strong leadership. It's a slippery slope that could lead to a generation of well-adjusted children and happy families. We simply can't allow it."

"Shows like Bluey and Chip Chilla threaten to undo decades of hard work to undermine dads by portraying them as perpetually confused, overly stern, and mysteriously absent," Dr. Parker continued. "We can't risk families starting to respect dads and their leadership of the household."

At publishing time, the New York Times issued another alert advising parents to avoid wholesome shows with present fathers and instead, watch more appropriate content like little boys crossdressing for their gay dads on Cocomelon.
