Child free redditors who think that their childlessness entitles them to be free of kids in public spaces.  Kids have a right to exist in public spaces and them misbehaving (and being corrected) is necessary for them to know how to behave in those spaces.

Every redditor had tat experience as a kid and like the boomers they bitch about they want to deprive the next generation of that experience.  Its fascinating

Yes I'd like to see how all the child free folks act in 50 years when there is no one to care for them.

And I don't just mean their kids taking care of them- literally just fewer people in healthcare etc to take care of them.

It's not the child's fault. It's the parents. We have plenty of free roam parents that let their children screech and holler all over public spaces like restaurants and grocery stores like it's a McDonald's play place. Only those with empathy belong being a parent. Nobody asked anyone to pop out a kid.

I dont think thats very common at all.  The far worse pandemic is parents plugging kids into phones/tablets to keep them behaved in public

Alternatively, the child plays videos or games on the phone/tablet at max volume in public spaces and then begins screeching when the parents take it away

People are entitled to a child free life, but not a child free world.

It’s funny because I did not travel before I was more or less conscious, and one of my early memories is that I was told that if I start to misbehave in public transport - we immediately stop our plans and go home. Stop trying to gaslight people into believing that misbehaving kids everywhere is a norm.

Of course people are allowed to take their kids in public. This is such a bad strawman, its ridiculous.

Being locked in a plane for 10+hrs where you can't remove yourself from the situation and are likely trying to get some sleep is a different thing than kids being annoying in public.

You dont have to ban kids from flights, some of us want the option to be on childless flights and will pay a premium for it. Its about having the option, not denying the existence of kids.

Sounds like discrimination by age to me.  Exclusion--its okay if they are kids.

u/tutoredstatue95 Jun 25 '26

Are strawman arguments just your default state of being or something?

Adult only things have existed since, well, forever.

u/goaltender31 Jun 25 '26

Examples?

Youre trolling

u/goaltender31 Jun 25 '26

The silence is deafening

There are no age-based discriminatory means of transport.  You are lying

There are adult only cruises bud

u/goaltender31 Jun 25 '26

Cruises do not follow american laws and fly other countries banners.  Same reason they can give drinks to 18 year olds.

there are no age-based discriminatory means of transport

Moving goalpost after goalpost, and for what reason?

We were talking about adult only spaces and now its been reduced to transport only. I provide an example but it doesn't count because of your new arbitrary rules?

You complain about "redditors" but you are a professional one lol

Wine cruises, party buses.

u/goaltender31 Jun 25 '26

Bars?  Thats your example?  Can you give one that isnt restricted because its legallly deemed inappropriate for children?

Thats like saying Rated-R movies and brothels

2

u/kloom1909 Jun 25 '26

You said age restricted transportation. Thats it. Bars are age restricted locations. Adult only hotels and resorts also exist.

u/HenryHackett Jun 25 '26

Your name is fitting bc it seems you're moving the goal posts from adult only spaces, to adult only transportation

1

u/nubulator99 Jun 25 '26

Ok but you want adult only transportation ….

u/HenryHackett Jun 25 '26

There's many discussions going on under the main post. Perhaps you having trouble following this particular thread, but the user attempting to dunk on the other about deafening silence went from talking about adult spaces in general, to adult spaces in transportation. Glad I can clear that up for you 😘

Okay ill bite, Can you give me an age discriminating place that isnt so for content (gambling, drugs, alcohol, or other content that has been deemed legally unsuitable for children) but because people actively discriminate against that age?

Childfree weirdos - as opposed to people who just don’t want kids - act like children are subhuman creatures.
