I hope this doesn't come across as too semantic, but I dunno, I bet you can understand them. They're just stupid! They will do anything to avoid blaming themselves, accepting they were wrong, or simply accepting their daughter. It's gotta be that got dang vidya game's fault! Everyone knows that games have been indoctrinating children into devil worship since at least as far back as the invention of D&D!

Understanding them is easy. It's empathizing with them that is damn near impossible
