My grandchildren will enjoy the relative bliss of non-existence.

I got fixed a couple months ago. Best decision ever.
For nearly 40 years, I’ve been told the horrors of climate change. For nearly 40 years, I’ve watched climate change unravel. And now at nearly 40 years on this planet, I’ve reached a point where I am more concerned about immediate human activity affecting my life rather than the breakdown and collapse of our planet’s environment.
At no point in my life has there ever been a desire to bring a new life into this horrifying existence.
Now if only those weird and miserable old men would stop calling me selfish for not having children. Their obsession with my genitals makes me uncomfortable.
Come on. Can I just have a little bit of control over your genitals? It’s all I ever think about!
D:
Now if only those weird and miserable old men would stop calling me selfish for not having children.
I’ve found it works pretty well to just beat em to it. “Man, I’d love to have a kid, but bringing a child into this dumpster fire on purpose just so I can have a ‘little bundle of joy’ would be so selfish. It’s just not fair to the kid, ya know?!”
Worked on my parents at least, lol.
i’d say that’s a coin flip on whether it works or not :)
(that’s because unfortunately not all parents give a flying fuck about the mental health that that child would be going to have, or rather, not have)
i’d go with something like “sure i’ll make children if you pay for them”
the moment they realize how expensive having children can be, that typically shuts them up rather quickly.
oh i’m not sure if it means anything to you if i say it, but:
i think you’re doing good for the environment. I’m not saying there’s too many people already (because there aren’t), but still, if there are fewer children being born, that will take off a significant pressure from the environment and that will affect everything positively. :)
username checks out?
In more ways than one!
Surgical tech, here. :D

Antinatalism or anti-natalism is a philosophical view that deems procreation to be unethical or unjustifiable.
Technically we haven’t made it through yet. In the 2020’s 5 years is a REALLY long time.
Well, I hope we both make it.
None. My line ends with me.
hear, hear!
None. A very long time before any of this started going down, both my sister and myself informed my parents that neither of us were having children and that this particular line stops here.
Not because of any trauma (that I can remember). But we’ve both seen the state of the world and decided, with our respective partners, that forcing children into this shit-show is unconscionable.
I completely understand that kind of decision. Unfortunately its only gonna make it worse. If the people potentially making a positive impact on the world stop having children the downward spiral accelerates.
Kinda implying people born to idiot parents can’t overcome and disagree with their idiocy.
Speaking from experience, you have to admit it IS quite rare. Like it’s probably just common enough to raise-up another frustrated, powerless minority. I do have kids, by the way, so it’s not an anti-kid rant.
Im not saying they cant, but kids indoctrinated by racist egomaniacs are much more likely to turn out the same way.
Yeaaaaa and I don’t disagree lol
Worse for people who are here, yes, but not a reason to bring into being a whole new person.
Not just people
Yes and every other being is probably better off without us.
So you think the downward spiral is caused by the people in the population and not the political situation?
Bold to asume I want children.
Even bolder to assume those fictional children would even want children.
The assumption was that you might have grandchildren. Not that you want them 😉
Some want their own kids, some not. Some don’t know them…
Fortunately my grand children remain unborn.
It’s impossible to say since no one has actually lived through the 2020s. It’s 2025 dude, we’re all right in the middle of the 2020s.
I think there’s enough trauma already to go around.
People in power are actively dreaming up new unspeakable horrors to release upon the American public as we speak.
I’m sure there’s plenty more trauma to come
Every decade had it’s pile of shit, and for the moment, the 2020’s have been a walk in the Park compared to 2010’s.
Sure covid was a wild-ride, where we had to mostly stay at home when no valid reason to go-out, and when out the city was quiet. and then proceeding to normal life with some accommodation is weird,
Remember the 2010’s with the long-tail of the 2008 economic crisis, the terrorist attacks (and all the security measure impact on day to day life), The start of the Ukraine war, The Syrian civil-war, the politicians not listening to kids protesting climate change, the Brexit, and tons of other crazy problems ?
I love my children so much I chose not to bring them into this fucked up world.
Two gay men can’t make a da baby
I’ll pass none :3… unless they invent mpreg, the chances of me having grandchildren are close to 0
Brb gonna register “AO3 Laboratories, LLC”
None, because I’m never having children
The value of working in my home office. Since the start of covid, and ongoing. Maybe I am overvaluing it now. But maybe not?
Never trust the news, never trust the government, always keep your security at maximum
Actually, you should have learned that earlier. “Earlier” doesn’t mean 201x or 200x. “Earlier” was at any time when you were 15-20 years old :)
As someone who was 17 during covid… seems like it was a fine time to learn to me /j
Never trust the news, never trust the government,
Actually, I’ve been okay with our government this last half-decade. It’s not been awesome, but it’s been nowhere near as bad as, say, America’s last 90 days. We avoid the foreign-owned press a bit more, now that they’ve self-identified themselves, but our leader has been … I’m gonna say ‘okay’ … and the health advice and status from our head health honcho was … adequate.
A deranged flatlander, though? Never trusting one of those whackadoos again.
Lack of existence because I sterilized myself after the SCOTUS decision ending Roe leaked
Who says I’m gonna have any children in the first place, why would I bring a human being into this shit hole without their permission
Maybe you’re just a bad person and would do that to someone
Who am I to judge? (Unless it’s a phat rack)
