Editing Richard Tweak (section)

==Personality and Traits==
===Inattentiveness===
Although Mr. Tweak cares deeply for his family, he is nonetheless often inadvertently dismissive towards them, often too engrossed in his own actions to notice or acknowledge their feelings to their satisfaction. For example, he disregards his wife’s concerns about the morality of using children to advance his anti-corporate agenda, and is often shown minimizing or ignoring his son’s concerns about such things as [[Underpants Gnomes]] or the North Korean regime, sometimes alongside his wife. When he discovers his son is homosexual, he admits that he thought of him as only a “spazz”, but promises to be a better father in the future. This dismissive behavior extends to other townspeople, such as his casual dismissal of [[Stuart McCormick]]’s defense of [[Priest Maxi]] because of [[Kenny McCormick|Stuart’s son having died]].

===Radicalism===
All three members of the Tweak family seem to exhibit paranoia in the face of uncertainty, but while their son often falls upon anxiety as a result, Richard often responds with radical or elaborate solutions. The most notable example is during the early stages of the [[Child Abduction is Not Funny|child abduction scare]], when he impersonated an armed police officer to educate his son about child abduction, a markedly more radical solution than any of the other parents would enact until after the arrest of [[Frederick Johnson]] for an attempted abduction. 

===Lack of Ethics===
During his campaign to ban small business from town, Richard exhibited a lack of concern for ethics, citing that “all is fair” in love and war, and coffee. He felt using Tweek and his friends to campaign against big business and funded exploitive commercials suggesting opponents of the ban hate children.
