Why are you taking offense to someone saying your lifestyle sounds terrible to them? They're not saying you must be unhappy, just that they don't want to live that way.

I don't want kids, and I'm sure those with kids that they wanted are very happy, and I'm glad there are people for whom that is a happy life because it wouldn't be to me.

Gotta edit my comment to say I was totally being autistic and completely missed your joke on the first pass, my bad!

I'm not taking offense. It sounded to me like the guy in this image was taking offense. I was asking the same questions, you're asking me now. "Why would you take offense to someone saying they're happy?" Clearly I'm the only one interpeting it that way

I don't know if the original person in the picture meant it that way, but I do know that this meme is frequently used to start an antinatalist circle jerk, so I support you coming out swinging.

The antinatalists and the childfree don't need much to make themselves the victims in comment sections tbf

Really hoping I didn't come across as an antinatalist because I fucking hate antinatalists. They're the dumbest fucking people.

Nah you’re good. Your other comment acknowledged that having kids makes some people happy even if it wouldn’t make you happy.

Anti-natalists really are the worst at respecting other people’s choices.
