It was the same on Reddit, people openly say disturbing things against children. What prompted me to post this is someone saying that babies should be put in overhead bins inside airplanes. Even if they’re joking, this is a disgusting thing to say. I won’t say that about anything else.
Would they say this openly about dogs or cats? I doubt it. If they do, people will be ready with pitchforks.
But no one gives a fuck when it’s said about children? Why is that? I though that the general consensus were that children are cute. Maybe annoying sometimes, but still cute. But with the amount of hate I see about them here, I’m really concerned. Does anyone have any thoughts about it?
Valid question, terrible example. The joke’s funny, and pretty tame.
A better example is how so many r/aww commenters would whinge when a human baby was posted, as if somehow only baby animals are cute.
À lot of those pics were objectively ugly af babies. People seem to have no perspective on their own children, and it ruins one’s eyebleach scrolling.
An “ugly” cat is still awwdorable. An ugly human is not.
Most human babies look like a sack of potatoes or Elmer Fudd. They aren’t cute. Ever.
I admittedly do not like children, do not find them cute, and don’t want to see them. Plus, I have a HUGE issue with people posting their children on social media sites, when the child can’t give consent. On top of the security issues with posting a pic of your kid, their first name and location (at least in the data if not stated). “Oh look at little Johnnys first trip to the blah blah lake” not cute.
Very excellent point. Exploitation of their own children is equally creepy.
Edit: those downvoting this should have CPS called on them.
I think it’s the lack of fur. Fur makes them nice and fluffy so we overlook the fact that they’re incredibly dumb.
Yeah, that’s a great example. Look no further than the replies to find some offenders.
Agreed
