r/AITA is just a creative writing prompt sub where socially maladjusted 18-35 year old men go to roleplay as normal people and other 18-35 year old men roleplay professionals to critique their writing prompt.

@@davidlazerz8564 A lot of the people to reply to the posts are women as well; can't speak to the posters though. Back when the AITA Twitter account was active, the replies were like 50/50 men/women, and oftentimes equally as unhinged as Reddit (although they would never admit that)

I think the subreddit overlap thing actually says the user base is mostly 40+ year old single women, which I'm not sure if that's more or less sad

It's for validation. People get into a conflict and want to be told by a large group of strangers that they're on the right side.That's why the vast majority of stories are NTA, because people are less likely to submit a post of they think there's any chance they might be wrong. The neat thing is that people who do submit as the asshole are almost always completely insane.

@@sayantanmazumdar3 industrial farming keeps the world functioning too why do I have to give a fuck?

Yeah fr I don't want kids ever but idk how that would be congruent with hating them, if you hate kids, be a parent! The limitless damage you do to them both intentionally and unintentionally is something you could only do if you hates kids.

Exactly. Whenever a kid does something mildly wrong, because hey, it's a kid, so many redditors are like KIDS ARE FUCKING STUPID

Most cultures still have the primitive belief that having children is good and important and something you need to do, while more enlightened philosophy paints having children as deeply unethical. This disconnect leads to a lot of conflict with neither side holding much, if any respect for the other.

antinatalism is objectively rational. Anybody who's against it is deductively for any sort of human having kids, including a child abuser. Antinatalists are the only hope of preventing future child abuse in the world. The hedonist atheists certainly don't care about others but themselves. Fact.

People need to hear the antinatalist message whether they like it or not. If atheism ought to be advertised whether theists like it or not, so should antinatalism which is the next rational step for the atheist movement.

@@for_logic_and_reason-mark_3 "everyone's life is bad because my life is bad, and if anyone likes life they are just blind" have you ever thought not everyone lives the same life as you and many are happy?

​@@MickeyMouse-lm6zjantinatalists can't fathom the possibility that someone could go through no/minimal suffering in their life.

@@for_logic_and_reason-mark_3 That's an insane take, no inherently biased "ism" ought to be advertised by virtue of existing, that includes atheism AND theism. Also the only thing antinatalism has in common with atheism is that they both are philosophical position ruined by insufferable redditors who have no real idea what the philosophers had in mind when they came up with them (shocker: their point was not "insult everyone who disagrees with you").

nah, for a lot of people it's a way of dealing with expectations their family keeps pushing on them. Trust me, whenever you see someone flying off the handle about kids, they probably hear "When are you gonna get married and have kids?" like 5 times every time they call their mom. If it was what you just said, they wouldn't mid kid crying, would they? But they usually hate crying kids more than everything else

Bad psychoanalysis, it's definitely more just people who either are pressured about having kids like the other person said or people who are resentful/terrified of the fact that more than likely they're getting/going to get older and eventually most of their friends are going to get married and have kids and then drop out of their lives, leaving them alone. Maybe a splash of people who had bad families and are projecting their trauma onto everyone else.

It can be distressing to see the priorities of everyone in your age group shift to something that, from a certain perspective, just looks like a quality of life downgrade for no tangible benefit. Their lives start to revolve around something that's far outside your experience, and it becomes difficult to relate to the people you once considered friends. It can be a little like your friends were replaced with pod people. I don't necessarily agree with their perspective, but it's really not that hard to understand. No need for that "people dislike a thing I don't dislike, therefor they hate happiness" stance. One doesn't need to be a reprehensible person to have an opinion you find kinda shitty.

@@Suavek69 maybe they should be pressured tho

@@nathanrobbins2440 All I'm gonna say is that of all people who shouldn't reproduce, people who think it's ok to push others into having a child are the first group, and people who don't actually want kids are second

There's no way this isn't a troll. Imagine you start doing a new activity, your pick: new sport, new hobby, new job, home renovation, volunteer work, whatever. You do it for 16 hours a day. It's a lot of work but it's rewarding, seeing your effort make unbelievable results. You meet a friend who asks you how you're doing. You give an update on the huge part of your life involving this new activity. The "friend" rolls his eyes and looks at his phone while you're telling him about the biggest change in your entire life and then says "finally" when you ask him how he's doing. No shot you'd be like "oh yeah he's in the right definitely"

@@DurkDiggleryes it’s morally wrong to force life upon somebody who will have needs, desires, obligations and problems that they never consented to have.

@@ForcedIntoExistence such a shit take but ok

I had to look up antinatalism because I've never heard it in my life, can you tell me why you believe that? I'm genuinely so curious.

@@Bob13454 I believe that to be born is to be cursed in a way. No matter what choices one makes in life, you can't avoid suffering. Suffering is as much a part of life as breathing. Pain and sickness are constant factors of life for every living person. We are all fated to grow old and die from the moment we are born. Learning to endure suffering and rise above it is one of life's challenges, but it's not something we want to do; rather it is something that must be done because the alternative is to kill oneself. The way I see it, no one can choose to be born, so creating a child is like signing a contract for them without their consent. You are forcing them to live, suffer, grow old, and die. Forcing someone into life without their consent is immoral. Simply because you cannot obtain their consent prior does not make it any less immoral, because lack of consent does not equal consent. Therefore, I am an antinatalist not because I hate children, but because I do not want to force anyone into a life they don't want to live. Because I believe it is immoral to force someone to be born, experience suffering, and die.

If you hate kids you must want them to suffer, and nothing can accomplish that like being their parents lol the damage you do intentionally or not is limitless and makes them hurt others it's a cycle of pain and hatred

ive noticed on r/childfree they hate kids but on /antinatalism they don't, i think the latter gets more of the flak that really comes from r/childfree.

@@cheilith1031 don't get me wrong, r/antinatalism is awful. The problem is that antinatalism isn't something that you go to a subreddit for - it's much more interesting when applied to a more general view of the world. Because of this, the subreddit has to latch onto hating those who choose to have kids which a lot of the time falls into classism. Yes, having kids is immoral, but people who do immoral actions aren't evil - people are a result of their environment and it is likely that most have never considered the moral reprecussions of having a child.

@@watchingaccount it's not immoral to have kids, stop huffing online weirdo juice

@@Senjamin please engage in good faith. it is easy to make an emotional stance on this topic - many people do. a lot of people have it hardwired into their brain that to create another life is not only moral, but it ought to be done. both society and nature itself has conditioned us to believe creating human life should be a key part in our lives. you don't have to agree with me, but don't boil down my perspective to being on the internet too much. many factors have led to me adopting such beliefs, and it is important to note that i do not feel any disgust or hatred for those who choose to have kids.

@@feihceht656 Yeah that's fair. But people always bring it up for no reason, and then they start listing all of the cons of having a child like I'm not aware of them. It's fine to not like things, but it's annoying when they start bashing that thing expecting me to agree with them when it's irrelevant in the first place

@@rayzecor like if they don't want to be around kids that fine, but they brought it up when the kid wasn't even apart of the situation.

@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 Yeah. To be honest I am not great with kids myself but I think it's weird to bring it up or to try to get people to stop their child from interacting with you. I really like parents, though. It's amazing how if you look past your momentary annoyance and try to have a conversation, they're usually great people

@@rayzecor it’s a Reddit post about kids and the conflict they can cause between adult friends…

@@feihceht656 nah honestly this is silly. Kids are just people who exist in the world. It's ridiculous to think you can go through life while having zero contact with children.
