So am I, and I must admit that I am somewhat ashamed that I don't know.

Oh ok. So Freud had this psychological theory that a child first love is their parent. (A girl with her dad and a boy with his mom, generally speaking) it makes sense seeing as you got Mommy's Boy and Daddy's girl. Usually one grows out of it. But sometimes a child doesn't grow out of it. This is where you get the whole "Daddy Issues" thing. He brought up the terms Opedius and Electra Complex. To a degree he had a point, but as psychology grew and expanded, his theories were not well liked or accepted. So the joke is, the more you say daddy, the more you prove him right.

Ohh. I see. I wonder if he was right.... Animes would like that very much, I think.

Well I think there's a truth it. A lot of his theories has, to an extend, truth to it.
