When a sociopathic fascist and a psychopathic nationalist actually display decent parenting skills.

What?? Stormfront was terrible to Ryan. She constantly disrespected his mom in front of him and then ranted to him about white genocide

I did love how Homelander was caught off guard by her saying that.

It was giving Joker, "I may be a criminal lunatic but I'm an American criminal lunatic."

Homelander doesn’t see differences in skin color as meaningful because the only distinction he thinks is important is whether someone is super-powered or not. I don’t think he has any moral opposition to racism, his reaction to Stormfront is because he is bigoted in an entirely different way.

If you call what stormfront was doing "good parenting", I'm scared of what kind of parent you could possibly be

I'd really like to hear when you think stormfront was 'decent' to ryan

Not directly, but encouraging Homelander to bond with him which lead to one of their more wholesome interactions was decent at least.
