"They" in this case is the gamers. Harsh, because I love my tabletop and computer gaming friends, but kind of true in this case.
Nah, I read that as him implying Jake's mother's and her family "ruined" him. Much more likely he's blaming the people who raised Jake instead of a bunch of random nerds that play games. Sounds like there's a few screwy women in the family. Grandma is crazy, his mom was doing some real woo shit and posts shit about indigo children...and lets her grown ass unemployed son live in the attic on a permanent basis. Dad is probably right to an extent, but didn't seem like he was ready to put in much effort either. Does he have other children? I don't think Jake has ever mentioned half-siblings but I could be wrong.
And let us be clear, this is before he even trooned out. Papa Alley's tears were purely for Jake's unrelenting failure.
I don't believe for a second he dad knows anything about him being a true and honest woman. I think he's only vaguely hinted at it with his mom, doing cowardly "what if" scenarios.
He was just trying to find out whether his son had any chance of having children. Also no matter what he did, just being Jake is a fucking embarrassing scene. Nothing his dad could have done would have made being Jake any more embarrassing. Any crying he did would have been after realizing his son was a completely fucking worthless loser and maybe he should have done more to try to stop that.
His biggest worry was probably Jake being gay. From the looks at of his Dad he probably would the type of guy terrified to discover his son was gay. Trying to get him to comment on hot girls was his way of getting an indicator that he was even interested in women or found them attractive.
I can't imagine even his own father wants to see Jake reproduce. But it's pretty funny is Dad got laid at the convention and left Jake to weep in the basement all night alone. Go Jake's Dad, at least the dude knows how to party, even at a nerdy game convention. Add "knows how to get laid and have a good time just about anywhere" to the list of things Jake didn't inherit from dad.
