          My partner has been in some child free communities and i saw a lot of people hating on kids. Most of the stories she’d relay were about kids being annoying with minimal mention of their parents.

          My old boss was super into those groups and would post just vile, hateful stuff about kids.

          I do think that child free groups are mostly about hating kids, in practice.

          That’s very idealist of you, and that’s how it should be, but it’s not always that way

            It actually is nearly always that way until parents come in to those spaces and start deliberately misinterpreting things and claiming the straw men they’ve built are saying hateful things about kids. Most parents see hate in any refusal to glaze them for their choice to become parents. And they nearly all see hate in not being impressed by or wanting to coo over their little vacation souvenirs.

              I don’t have kids, likely never will given the state of the world, but the absolute vile shit I’ve seen from child free communities ensures I’ll never use that label.

          I wouldn’t have nearly as much disdain for those communities if they focused on bad parents instead of attacking children.

            This is easily the third time today you’ve said something correct and insightful and been downvoted to hell.

            The fuck is wrong with Lemmy?

              This is a male-dominated space and some of them really don’t like outspoken women.
