Being a parent has often had this virtuous narrative attached to it, and I think a lot of society is clinging to that. It’s undisputable that bringing a child into existence cannot be done consensually, and equally so you cannot do that and guarantee that they won’t suffer. To exist is to suffer, the two are intrinsically linked.
However, people don’t like to have their world views upturned, so it’s easier to dismiss, diminish, or ridicule an argument that you don’t have a proper response to, than it is to absorb it and consider that perhaps it carries some merit.
Why is my telling people the impact of their decisions something you consider toxic?
I’m not wrong and I’ve literally given undisputable scientic sources for my arguments.
Do you just not like seeing people talk about the very real consequences of your actions?
Is that what is upsetting you to the point of lashing out, attacking my character, and calling me names?

My actions? I’m literally not having children.
You’re so busy trying to say anything you can to get at anyone around you that you’re not even paying attention.
I get it. The world is a bit of a mess and it’s disheartening. But making everyone your enemy doesn’t make you part of the solution.
