the striders

The relationship between Dave and Bro is depicted as unhealthy and toxic, with Bro often berating and belittling Dave. Bro also regularly tells Dave to "man up" and be more masculine, which leads Dave to act recklessly and impulsively. As a result, Dave struggles with self-doubt, insecurity, and a lack of control in his life, all of which contribute to his strained relationship with Bro. Additionally, Dave's experiences with Bro lead him to have a negative view of masculinity, which plays a role in his struggle to come to terms with his own identity as a gay man. Also training a 13 year old is a bit much with the fight between Dave and Bro, Bro didn't hold back he's a kid man.
