#‘tucker would actively choose to leave an injured wash for a year without intentions to return back to the same time that he left’

listen. season 15 is not evidence he does not pay child support.

1) it’s literally been rendered non canon. what’s the point of 15-17 being retconned if we can’t write off the shitty ooc decisions made for the characters in them 😭

2) even if 15 was still canon, it’s not actually evidence he doesn’t pay? we know by the start of 15 it’s been ten months since the end of 13. tucker has been in hiding for nearly all of that. it’s very likely that tucker was away for literally the entirety of the pregnancies. he had no idea this happened. the kids are, at most, a couple of months old. he was not being told that he was actively skipping out on child support payments, he was being made aware that a bunch of infants existed for the first time.

3) like. the joke is racist. we can all understand how “black guy gets a bunch of women pregnant and doesn’t want to pay child support about it” is a racist joke, right? and that, given the lack of evidence that he isn’t paying (see: 1 and 2) and the amount of evidence that we do have that he takes care of his kids (he fully adopted the alien a parasite that used his body as an incubator as his son. hello.), i think actively perpetuating the racist joke is. mm. i don’t think you should do that!
