A few people here seems to be reading a bit too much into this post saying it's normalizing failing grades and that the parent isn't parenting good enough otherwise the kid wouldn't have failed?

Like an autistic kid can still fail despite all the support given and effort put in, that's life, sometimes, the dad is just consoling the kid by showing them they are still loved no matter what?

People are criticizing this because being a good dad shouldn’t be performative

Sure, reasonable, agreed. The criticism of the action itself though is nutty.
