This is especially true today. I have seen a critique of Marvels infinity war where (spoilers) Thanos needs to "sacrifice that he loves the most" to gain a special stone.
So he throws his daughter off a cliff, and cries as he does. He "loved" her.
People have pointed out that for an abused child sitting watching with her abuser, this reinforces the idea that the person who is harming her actually loves her ... a repulsive idea and perhaps as damaging as jumping off a roof with a towel.
I guess "with great power comes great responsibility"
PS
not being American Mr Rogers is a mystery to me - can anyone recommend a documentary / example ?
