Childish, meron! Joke!
Used to regularly take a peek at /r/childfree years back, pero di ko na rin kinaya yung tone nila dun. There’s only enough ways to say “being childfree is a choice!” “It’s a sin to make another soul undergo torment in this world!” or other stuff.
I get it, it’s difficult to live a childfree life, especially when surrounded by the conservative, religious-minded. I get the need to rant about it, pero susmiyo… Like, uh, parang ang hirap mag-tambay dun nang matagal.
Sorry for the rant ah.

I was exposed to it and /r/antinatalism quite early on in my Reddit carreer. While I am sympathetic to their cause, I feel that the overall mood over at those subs are just a bit too much.
I suppose as more and more people find their way over here, a childfree community would arise here as well. I hope they won’t have as much toxicity as their Reddit counterparts.
Ako din. While karamihan sa friends and family members ko child-free, they’re not in the same boat as the typical card-carrying child-free that are just as annoying and toxic as those who keep on pestering singles/couples when they’re getting kids.
Tapos napanood ko pa yung kumakalat na vid about gen-Zs, and I just facepalmed hard on how cliche the answers were. Tbf, the “survey” was done in bad faith because why would you be asking inexperienced kids about parenting? Lmao.
I’m childfree myself, mostly by circumstance, but also partly by principle. Mostly, I adhere to a “if you think you’re up to it, best of luck!” kind of a stance. However, yeah, yung iba dun sa subs na yun (also /r/antinatalism) are just a bit too toxic in their beliefs to the point that it’s alienating.
