Bro Strider is a character from Homestuck, a web comic by Andrew Hussie.
He's the adoptive older brother/ biological father of Dave Strider and the post-scratch/alpha version of his brother, and in this ver. he's called Dirk Strider. ( This might not make sence if you haven't read the web comic.)
Bro Strider is a very controversial caracter, as some find him very attractive and don't see why he's a bad person, and others despise him.
The creator of the web comic has described his actions as abusive, and the Fandom Wiki for Homestuck says that "Dirk seemed to lack any sense of self-awareness or empathy in his methods in preparing Dave for Sburb, such as his tendency to deprive Dave of food and deliver constant physical abuse, which Dave later describes as totally sociopathic in nature and believes he saw raising a child as a game. He holds martial prowess and fighting above all else besides puppets, as he started Dave's training when he was just a baby. Many of his interactions with Dave only involve violence and his constant poker face is never broken by body language, to the point that Dave likens him to a robot."

Person 1: "I really don't understand why people don't like Bro Strider... yeah I guess he was a bit tough on Dave, but I think that he truly loved him and wanted to see him succeed! Not to mention he was under the influence of Lil Cal"
Person 2: "Are you FUCKING kidding me? Bro Strider was nothing but ABUSIVE to Dave! He hurt him constantly, exposed him to the smuppets (smut puppets) and starved him! If you think his behaviour is acceptable you're crazy!"

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s
