Nah, the red-necks of the forum are occupied with hating other shows with more explicit boobs

That's usually the case when someone wants to defend controversial social mores against those of so-called bigots, usually of the conservative variety.

But on the relativist note, well you know morality is transient, but being a relativist does not necessarily imply that one has no morality (within his era), that would be lawfulness, when one discards morals in favor of convenience. From a nihilistic (aka mine) perspective, the whole father deal is just teenage angst / elderly lecherousness, as long as things don't get out of hand (e.g. he rapes her, she commits suicide, he shares the photos, etc)... now obviously (preview X spoilers) things will get out hand, and therefore none is eager to defend the dad
Now... on the other hand, where are all our contemporary feminists to curse that mother
that is the worse example of subservient adult female since all the cast that Okada Mari has ever written
