    kids only benefit corps: they want human labor, they can create gmo kids and raise them on their expense, else a baby trashes his mother’s body, and a financial burden for the dad only to benefit corps. also noisy and uncontrollable, and personally i hate when things are out of my control.

      I don’t not have a boat because I hate boats. Same applies for kids aswell.

      I must say tho thay when ever I hear my friends talk about their kids it’s rarely about how nice they are.

      I’ll attempt a real answer. I don’t hate kids or the parents of kids who care for them and raise them to be good people.

      I hate that societal pressures place having kids at the near top of life’s implicit goals. I hate that my wife and I almost had kids because of these pressures, when neither of us really wanted it. And if it weren’t for one (slightly older than us) couple we were friends with sharing that they were childfree, we would be there, and likely unhappy about it. So we speak out, not out of hate, but just to provide the other side, it ok to have kids… It’s ok to not, it’s a choice.

      I see no hate in this thread.

      We just don’t want kids (or don’t want to be around them). Doesn’t necessarily mean we hate them.

      I don’t hate kids, but it would be a horrific nightmare for everyone involved if I had some of my own. Never wanted them, never will. I do adore my niece.

        it’s okay to not want them, but calling them “shitty fucking kids” or “crotch goblins” or other stupid names is a different matter and only reflects badly on the person who says these things

      Because they had a bad life and think they were “forced to be born (and then new humans would live a life as miserable as theirs)”

        Everyone that has existed did have existence forced upon them though.

        Doesn’t mean you have to be miserable, but existing was not a consensual decision (as far as we are currently able to understand).

      What did you hope to accomplish, publishing this comment in a community explicitly for child-free people? Did you think I was going to have a come to Jesus moment and turn my life around and become a parent because you posted this?
