This immediately makes me think this is a plot to make "anti-natalism" considered terrorism. Not a single person I know of who is against having kids is radical about it, but oh man are the pro birth weird Christians sure radical about it.
Having been to the antinatalist subreddit back when I still visited the other place, I can say there were deffo some weird folks in there and that as a matter of statistics I could see one or two being that far gone. This also applied to most of the other anti-thing places there though, ex. Two million subscribers to r/atheism, that's two "one in a million" whackjobs.
I reckon that any group of two or more people that gravitate around an ideology is probably gonna have at least one weirdo in it.
One might be weirder then the other but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're a full on weirdo. I think a group has to get to 10-20 before we get someone close the edges on that bell curve.
That's kind of where I'm at, I see bad people in every single camp. Every single one. It's no big deal, that's human nature, but we can't gatekeep radicals out of any camp. I see some pretty radical people on here, wishing death on people & such.
Not everything that happens has to be a massive conspiracy; something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. All kinds of people get really riled up over IVF.
The childfree subreddit was pretty toxic, too. Calling people with kids mombies cause they think they're better than them. 🙄
Or calling the kids crotchspawn and wombfruit. Like bruh I get it, y'all ain't having kids, fair play, but there's no need for the weird slur nonsense.
They are pretty funny, though.
Not producing more children when so many are abandoned and the planet is dying is morally superior to people who create extra lives in the same situation.
My wife and I have decided we don't want kids. We're telling them tonight. Badum-tish.
I saw a comment like this years ago. Its why I called it that the child free movement would create radical idiots like in the article. Radical idiots usually require an assumption of moral superiority.
Don’t want kids? Straight to jail.
Birth quotas incoming
Gay? Straight to jail.
This is very much my concern as well.
