Tell him to read this, please:
I asked why he's concerned cause even if the console would get banned it wouldn't know that it's banned. See, it would work like that:
- You uninstall Haxchi
- You go online with your console one time to do the exploit. - That's what your dad is concerned about, right?
- You disconnect the console from the internet again and use it exclusively offline just like you do now.
- Nintendo does a ban-wave next months, banning your console in that wave.
- Nintendo servers try to reach the console, informing it that it had been banned. - This fails as the console is offline.
So yea, even if Nintendo would ban cause of you going to a website with stock firmware (For real: Why should they see this as malicious action? They added the web browser for a reason. And at the point you go to that website Haxchi had been uninstalled already and Tiramisu isn't installed yet, so you are running stock firmware) your console won't know this! It will continue to work just like before.
Beside that there's still the elefant in the room. That elefant beeing Nintendo shutting down online services anyway:

So what's the difference between beeing banned and between online services shutting down?
And lastly, what you quoted: When you use the console offline only WHY THE HELL be concerned about what happens online? They will ban you from things like playing Mario Kart 8 online but all these things are things you're not doing cause of the fear of getting banned anyway, right? So you have nothing to loose.
As a fact you lost a shitload of fun in online sessions last years thanks to your fear of getting banned from online sessions... Really, think about that...
//EDIT: I mean... For real... Can't make this more clear: You're not using online services cause you fear you will loose online services while doing so? You fear you are getting banned from services you are not using cause... Well, cause you fear you could get banned from using them? YOU ARE BANNING YOURSELF right now, can't you see this?
