Personally, I much prefer to believe that Chell is NOT Cave's daughter, just like I much prefer to believe that RED Spy is NOT BLU Scout's father.
For entirely subjective reasons, I LOATHE the "Luke, I am your father!" trope. I really can't stand it. IMO, it reinforces the idea that biological bonds are the only ones that truly matter :/
If Cave is Chell's father, that would make Caroline Chell's mother. And IMO the Chell-GLaDOS relationship would be immensely cheapened if it turned out that GLaDOS grew to care for Chell not out of respect for Chell's strength and determination and out of appreciation for their partnership, but just because they share the same blood.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
