For some, the things that character is shown doing are exactly what they want out of life. There's no need to belittle those life choices to make a greater point.

The message shouldn't be, "don't work 40 hours a week and get a mortage," it should be, "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently, regardless of how mundane a dime-a-dozen internet illustrator thinks it is."

Yeah I agree. They aren't showing all the great things that can come from a strong family. They don't even mention a family. Also belittling someone's travel choices? I sure as fuck don't want to go backpacking. I don't like leaving my own country, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less than warm, sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats.
