Hm. I've never seen it used the second way.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-26 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I have only ever seen this tag used sarcastically.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-27 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Me too.

That hasn't been my experience with the tag. I mean, usually the character who is the child of the "A+ parent" is one of the focal characters of the fic, so naturally they are going to be the most fleshed out. But most fics have one or two characters who are the focal characters; I don't find "A+ parenting" fics to be particularly notable in this regard. *shrugs* Maybe it's fandom specific.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-26 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought A+ parenting tag was to indicate the fic would be dealing at least somewhat with a character's shitty childhood and/or result of child abuse? Like I see it in fic with Tony Stark with the tag "#Howard Stark's A+ Parenting"

(Anonymous) 2024-04-26 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I've... literally NEVER seen what you're talking about?

I see 'John Winchester's A+ Parenting' as a tag all the time and NONE of those fics are about or focused on John. I don't know how it gets used in your fandoms, of course, but at least with SPN, with Marvel (as with the person above who mentioned Howard Stark's A+ Parenting)... in every other fandom I have seen a similar tag in, it's because there's at least some focus on how that parenting has damaged that parent's child(ren).

Which means YEAH, of course it can be used to describe a wide variety of parents, from the absent to the physically abusive (and of course with both the above examples, different writers will lean to one side or the other)-- because a parent not being there at all messes up a kid, too!

Exactly this. It wouldn't make sense, though, to use "Mary Winchester's A+ parenting," as a tag, since she was absent but it wasn't her fault. Dean was definitely affected by his father's choices, though.

Well, Mary was a shitty parent when she came back as well.

Apples and oranges, mate.

The secret says "the evil parent's kid", not the evil parent.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
But I agree with it being used for a wide variety of parents. Like, I get that the show might not want to cast anyone for a bit part, but that often makes the parent neglectful at the very least, in practical terms, since they don't show up when the kid is in serious jeopardy or has been seriously injured.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-27 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
The secrets says that the focus on the KID.
Have you NEVER seen this? How do you people read text, you have 0 comprehension.

Not really on topic but...

Wow, I could really demolish a stack of pancakes right now.

(Anonymous) 2024-04-26 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I think this is just your fandom, OP.

I see it done with the Fentons in DP fandom all the time lately and like I know they were ideal and all but people also like to ignore the fact that the show showed Danny's parents accepting his half-ghostiness and acknowledging why he would have been afraid to tell them on MULTIPLE people occasions in varying AU timelines (long story but it's a super hero comic esque show) and even being horrified at themselves they didn't get it.

Every time they found out in canon they had an "oh my god what were we doing" response.

But people still like to show them throwing Danny out, abusing him or vivisecting him like it's canon .

(Anonymous) 2024-04-26 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like they're working through some issues with their own parents.

[personal profile] dani_phantasma 2024-04-27 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Probably

Isn't it a usual thing in fanfics? One ore two characters more fleshed out than others?

This reminds me to one of the funniest tags I've seen: Bruce Wayne's C- Parenting xD
