    The issue, as i see it, is you criticized him for your own perception. Objectively, the picture isn’t about a father, brother, Uncle, etc… It’s just some person receiving what appears to be genuine affection from others. You taking it to the extreme of “it makes me feel bad because i think it’s implying i need kids for happiness” is the real issue. That implication is your subjective reality. OP isn’t responsible for that.

        Please take this as feedback, as I truly don’t mean any harm. Even if you’re not attacking, your comment comes across as egocentric because there’s many ways to express love, and a picture can hardly represent every way it can be done. The comment comes across as annoyance at the picture because it doesn’t show your perspective of it.

        I’m pretty sure this place welcomes bespoke love portrayal because everyone has their own way, and love is love. It’s something to be glad at. It’s wholesome. :)

        edit: btw sorry if I misgender or something, this is my first time writing a comment to a person that uses pronouns different from what I was taught in english class when I was a teenager. I’m more used to this kind of things in my native language.
