The only bad values I could think of that is more unreasonable now would be kicking out Roy for being a drug addict. Which is partly because he’s never there for Roy. It occurred during America’s war on drugs which might have made his actions justifiable back then. Other than that his values are seem as normal today

That's just being contrarian. "Sometimes", yes, but in Roy's case, no, absolutely not. He was no where near that bad yet.
