I think the poster was being hyperbolic, but the parents are both ick-y, even though, in an historical context, they're forgivable. Maria doesn't cave to the Nazis, Nellie breaks through her prejudice, Dot & George and Bobby & Joanne move on, Guenevere & Arthur make peace, Eliza stands up for herself, etc. The parents in FUN HOME stay stuck and the grown-up artist records the stuckness. Might want to throw a shoe just to wake them to trying a different way. Not bad, though. We kinda want to throw things at Troilus & Cressida and Hedda, too.
