As far as we can tell, Dwyane Wade has fully and proudly embraced his life as a girl dad, but it seems not everyone thinks he should. After Dwyane shared a recent makeover — where he allowed 5-year-old daughter Kaavia James to do his makeup, of course — on his Instagram Stories, people are sharing their opinion, and they're not all about how sweet this father/daughter relationship is. In fact, some people actually think that this kind of activity is "emasculating." Wait, what?

Recently, Dwyane shared a sweet moment with his daughter on Instagram.
In a few posts that he shared on his Instagram Stories earlier this month — which have since expired but were captured by fans online — Dwyane can be seen holding still while Kaavia applies lipstick to his lips.
"I love being a girl dad," Dwyane wrote on the photo.
The photos have gone viral, and some people don't love the idea of a father getting a makeover.
To us, this just looks like a dad letting his daughter have fun with him, but as First Sportz pointed out, some people seem to believe that it points to a much deeper issue — at least, according to the messages that they've been sharing on X (formerly known as Twitter). One person even called it "emasculating."
"Just pray for Dwyane Wade," another person added.
Far more people were ready to defend him.
As soon as people found out that Dwyane was getting hate for his makeover, fans showed up to defend him big time, with many praising him for being a good dad.
"I've seen girl dads dress up as Disney princesses and get their nails done with their daughters. Getting p—ed at this would be like getting p—ed at dads for playing catch with their sons," one person wrote.
"I'll wear a dress if it makes my daughters happy," one fellow dad wrote.

Dwyane has never shied away from showing his support to his kids.
Along with Kaavia, Dwyane is also dad to two other children who he shares with ex Siohvaughn Funches: 21-year-old son Zaire and 16-year-old daughter Zaya. It certainly doesn't seem like Dwyane has ever cared what people think about his parenting, so why would he start now?
Many dads have worn makeup or nail polish to make their kids happy.
Dwyane seems to be a pleasant father who doesn't mind putting on a little lip gloss to make his kiddo smile, and the world could use more dads like him in it. It's these little moments that Kaavia will remember and appreciate having with her dad when she's all grown up.
