Childish, meron! Joke!
Used to regularly take a peek at /r/childfree years back, pero di ko na rin kinaya yung tone nila dun. There’s only enough ways to say “being childfree is a choice!” “It’s a sin to make another soul undergo torment in this world!” or other stuff.
I get it, it’s difficult to live a childfree life, especially when surrounded by the conservative, religious-minded. I get the need to rant about it, pero susmiyo… Like, uh, parang ang hirap mag-tambay dun nang matagal.
Sorry for the rant ah.
It’s okay. I get what you mean. Medyo ganun nga doon. Naging lurker din ako. This year ko lang nalaman na may mga ganun palang sub. I remember months ago someone posted sa r/ph asking if may childfree people ba doon and their reasons why they chose to be so tapos ang daming nagreply. Napaisip lang ako kung andito din sila.
I was exposed to it and /r/antinatalism quite early on in my Reddit carreer. While I am sympathetic to their cause, I feel that the overall mood over at those subs are just a bit too much.
I suppose as more and more people find their way over here, a childfree community would arise here as well. I hope they won’t have as much toxicity as their Reddit counterparts.
Ako rin. While karamihan sa friends and family members ko child-free, they’re not in the same boat as the typical card-carrying child-free that are just as annoying and toxic as those who keep on pestering singles/couples when they’re getting kids.
Tapos napanood ko pa yung kumakalat na vid about gen-Zs, and I just facepalmed hard on how cliche the answers were. Tbf, the “survey” was done in bad faith because why would you be asking inexperienced kids about something that’s a product of adult/serious relationships? Lmao.
I’m childfree myself, mostly by circumstance, but also partly by principle. Mostly, I adhere to a “if you think you’re up to it, best of luck!” kind of a stance. However, yeah, yung iba dun sa subs na yun (also /r/antinatalism) are just a bit too toxic in their beliefs to the point that it’s alienating.
