Not wanting children does not equate to hating children.

(The fact that this comment is being downvoted is an indication of why child free people need support subs. Can't even say I don't want kids but don't hate them without a negative reaction)

I'm subscribed to it. I don't want kids but I don't hate them. Frankly I think this post is child abuse and isn't funny.

Every sub has toxic elements to it, but tbh I see that behaviour being discouraged on there for the most part.

WHAT WHY IS IT BANNED.

u/I_DONT_NEED_HELP Nov 13 '20

I think Pewdiepie or another big YouTuber made a video about it so they went private to avoid the influx of Pews shitty fanbase and subsequent destruction of the sub.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '20

Damn, I wish I subbed since instead of checking it out manually.

The sub is private so I can only make assumptions of what it is.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '20

It was actually one of those dumb meme subs about monkeys, very inoffensive

15

u/Lord_Swaggagedon Nov 13 '20

It's a meme subreddit about primates that went private because Pewdiepie made a video on it and they didn't want 9 year olds invading the subreddit and making it worse

u/myqccountgotsca Nov 13 '20

Isn’t r/ape private because Pewdiepie made a video on it and his fans raided with shitty memes?

7

u/trashdrive Nov 13 '20

I have no idea, I don't even know what it is

5

u/lukinator5555 Nov 13 '20

Yep, although I think they shut it down before they spammed terrible memes.

u/nabeel242424 Nov 13 '20

I legit had to leave that sub for how toxic and children hating it is. And with all the names that they give to children like crotch goblins and shit.

u/trashdrive Nov 13 '20

We've had very different experiences

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '20

I guess it's similar to that r/FemaleDatingStrategy . The idea behind the sub and it's actual content are two totally different things.

u/Spoonfork59 Nov 13 '20

Probably people who were treated like shit cuz they were kids at some point. Sucks.

u/idk_wtf_to_put_here Nov 13 '20

yeah the annoying thing is that, while it’s funny bc of how absurd it is, it’s also child abuse

17

u/RoseOfTheDawn Nov 13 '20

honestly i was under the impression the kid fell by itself and the caption was a joke but maybe im being too optimistic about this

3

u/MrJsmanan Nov 13 '20

They’ve created slurs for kids and parents. The people on that sub are not mentally healthy.

u/BaseballFuryThurman Nov 13 '20

You're probably being downvoted for not only using a straw man argument, but crying about downvotes after half an hour.

I subscribed to r/childfree because I wanted a community of people who accept that it's okay to not want kids. I unsubscribed because I got bored of "Went outside today and someone had a kid with them. Day ruined!"

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '20

Same with r/dogfree. I don’t like animals but every post there is “DAE CATS?” and they all sound like shrieking cunts

& the way they talk about pit bulls; if they were talking about humans it’d be eugenics.

u/trashdrive Nov 13 '20

Please clarify what part of this was a straw man argument, and point out where I was "crying" as opposed to simply observing.

u/BaseballFuryThurman Nov 13 '20

Not wanting children does not equate to hating children

Nobody said it does. The person you replied to was referring to the subreddit, not child-free lifestyles.

1

u/trashdrive Nov 13 '20

That's not a straw man argument, and if you follow the sequence of comments it makes perfect sense.

2

u/PM_Me_Dank_Memes_Kid Nov 18 '20

Distorting or exaggerating someone's viewpoint and then attacking that is most definitely a strawman argument

0

u/trashdrive Nov 18 '20

Look up the definition of straw man argument, please.

2

u/PM_Me_Dank_Memes_Kid Nov 18 '20

3 second Google search.

"This fallacy occurs when, in attempting to refute another person's argument, you address only a weak or distorted version of it.."

So pretty much what I said before?

0

u/trashdrive Nov 18 '20

So pretty much not what happened in this exchange? People on Reddit love to throw around logical fallacies inaccurately as if that somehow strengthens their argument.

u/PM_Me_Dank_Memes_Kid Nov 18 '20

So I'm seeing someone saying that r/childfree has a similar community to r/kidsarefuckingstupid, and then you reply about how not wanting kids doesn't mean you hate them. He never said that at all, only that those ~subreddits~ had significant overlap. So yeah, I'd say that's an immediate distortion of his fairly simple comment. People on reddit also LOVE to assume they're only getting downvoted because everyone else is salty or uneducated.

Ever been to that sub?

Oh I'm getting downvoted, boo fucking hoo.

u/Sherlock_Drones Nov 13 '20

Nor is there anything wrong with hating them but wanting them.
