The community is called childfree, you'd think everyone here would be at least somewhat opposed to the concept of having children.

Yeah, reddit childfree is insanely hostile and spread to other subreddits with their hate on any child. I was childfree until i understood the concept of life and how we came to be in humanity and society. I would not exist if any one of my billions(trillions?)of ancestors decided to be child free.

I don't think anyone else here is confused on where humans come from.

It's Africa, right? I'm pretty sure it's Africa.

This is the problem with the childfree community these days, antinatalists (who argue no one should have children) have taken over.

But they are an extreme and vocal subset of child-free people. I am happily childfree but i acknowledge that other people who do want to have kids should have them, and that we need children to sustain society.
