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!"
