Grandma Refuses To Acknowledge Her First Grandchild As Family Because He's Named After A Video Game Character

Dutch van der Linde. Uncle. There are quite a few names in the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game that would make terrible actual baby names. However, Redditor u/Bloofykins8675309 and his partner picked one that both sounds good and doesn't have any negative connotations.

But when word got out and his mom — the baby's grandma — learned about it, she was livid. Not only does the grannie believe it's ridiculous to give this honor to a fictional character, but she also had something in mind herself and decided to stand by her opinion even if it means destroying the relationship she has with her son and his family.

Not sure what to make of it, u/Bloofykins8675309 made a post on Reddit, asking if he was the jerk in the situation or not.

Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan is a hard man. He kills, he steals. But determining whether or not he's a bad person is quite difficult. Even impossible if you haven't played the game.

When he's not chasing bounties or running from the law, he can be found providing his crew with much-needed supplies such as ammunition and food.

He's often the mediator between disputing gang members as well. If he's not involved with them directly, that is. But he's quite reasonable. Arthur can put the solidarity of the camp before his own pride. Family comes first, and the gunslingers, runaways, and outcasts he lives with are the closest thing to family the man has.

Arthur cannot be bought or intimidated. Regardless of his enemy's size, strength, wealth, or power. Confident in his ability to handle any situation and overcome any adversary, Arthur rarely shows any hesitation and will engage in combat even when outnumbered.

But after the smoke from his gun barrels settles, Arthur clearly understands that his behavior can sometimes be morally wrong. Though he justifies his actions saying he's different from most criminals (Arthur genuinely believes he can help people), as time goes on, he questions this philosophy more and more.

There are definitely plenty of reasons why someone like Arthur Morgan can make a lasting impression on you.
