Well it's true. If you don't believe that Donkey Kong kidnapped Pauline because of abuse, can't deny that Mario tried to kill his son who was just a child. In Donkey Kong Junior you can see Mario whipping animals to hunt for DK jr. and late ron he used some sort of high-voltage electricution machine against the ape.

And let's not forget Yoshi. In Super Mario World, Mario finds that striking Yoshi on his head gets him to use his tongue. Plus most Mario gamers have no qualms of ditching Yoshi in a pit in order to achieve further height distance.

I just dunno why these things have gone overlooked and still considered appropriate for the "hero" Mario.
