It was the same on Reddit, people openly say disturbing things against children. What prompted me to post this is someone saying that babies should be put in overhead bins inside airplanes. Even if they’re joking, this is a disgusting thing to say. I won’t say that about anything else.

Would they say this openly about dogs or cats? I doubt it. If they do, people will be ready with pitchforks.

But no one gives a fuck when it’s said about children? Why is that? I though that the general consensus were that children are cute. Maybe annoying sometimes, but still cute. But with the amount of hate I see about them here, I’m really concerned. Does anyone have any thoughts about it?

    Seriously what a terrible joke. You could still hear them screaming from the overhead bin!

    They should put them in a kennel with the luggage, clearly.

      At least in the pet carry area so they blend in with the howls and screams. And y’know- it’s pressurized. I’m not positive the luggage bin is.
