I remember there being a community in here I stumbled into a while back, it was like anti having children or something but was pretty wild to me as a topic to create a whole community around and memes about no children
So there are “childfree” communities on the internet that are for adults who want to celebrate their choice to live their lives for themselves, without kids.
Then there are “anti-natalist” communities for people who believe anyone having children is morally wrong. Their mastery of ethics is roughly on par with a cartoon super villain.
Unfortunately the second type of community inevitably bleeds into the first type of community, so it’s not always clear which one you’re getting.
I mean I would think a pro having children community would be equally as strange to me, but I guess I’ve just never interacted with someone that was so for or against having children that I was surprised when I saw it
Theistic thought and tradition is the basis of most culture in the world. In many parts the world it is entirely unthinkable to not believe in some sort of deity. Which why atheists come together to form communities about not believing.
Regardless of that, this post just reminded me of that community, at least some of the comments I read at the time.
The comment asked “who hates children” and it reminded me of some comments in that community were very anti children, not just about having children but children in their proximity. Its just something I observed so I replied with my comment

Yes, childfree. But that’s not happening here. It’s just someone not wanting to share their ice cream.
Every time I walk down the street with ice cream I’m in fear of seeing a baby in case I’m forced to share.
And with good reason, they can be vicious. Luckily protection is easy: they are very weak against raised middle fingers.
One time I saw someone walking their dog, with an ice cream cone in one hand, and a bag of dog shit in the other.
My screen is so small, I can’t quite see but I thought it’s possible the baby was also flipping his middle finger.

That you find any niche strange on the internet is what is throwing me off.

Ah, that’s where the misunderstanding happened: the comment (I) asked “who here hates children”, as in “in this context”.
“It’s strange to me that there are things on the internet that you find strange.”
