it still does boil down to selfishness, even if they dont see it that way. at the end of the day, if they thought about it at all, they decided that their desire to procreate is more valuable than the autonomy of the child they would be creating that way . thats just selfish however you look at it
i dont hate people for having kids of course. in the grand scheme of bad things you can do, it's pretty mild. it's still on the list of bad things you can do, though
completely 100% irrelevant to everything, because that would never happen.
Taking someone's trash out for them is not a massive decision about their life the way forcing someone to exist for (ideally) 80 years or so is.
Furthermore, it is an action almost certain not to cause any suffering whatsoever, while the act of creating a child is 100% certain to cause suffering to that child.
I think that it is fundamentally wrong to make a massive decision for another person without any input or consent from them. That is what it is to create a child. You are just deciding for another person that they must now accept the responsibilities of existing for the next 80 years or so, and that comes with the added detail that you'll make them feel bad about it if they want to opt out at any point before that.
It's just wrong. Fundamentally, without any context about my own feelings on raising children, it is the morally wrong thing to do to another person. If you want to raise kids, go adopt a kid.
"authoritarianism" isnt a real thing to begin with, thats where your question fails
ok that was actually pretty good lmao
But you’re being hostile to somebody who doesn’t support it.
then why are you supporting it right now? downplaying its severity, going "its not so bad, you guys are overreacting" that shit is supporting it. if you dont support INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION then stop supporting it. you can't say you don't support it and then go around supporting it
It’s not that parents couldn’t be bothered to inform themselves.
yes it is
They were given the wrong information.
I'm given wrong information about things all the time, and so are you. Hopefully you don't just believe the first thing you're told and refuse to ever look into it, especially if you're planning to MUTILATE ANOTHER PERSON'S GENITALS.
Though it is factually correct that it’s more hygienic.
no it isnt you fucking genital mutilation advocating goddamn freak. fuck you
mutilating your child's genitals because you couldn't be bothered to inform yourself about it is also abuse
imagine making this argument for literally any other form of abuse. hell, even any other form of mutilation. oh, yeah, i cut off the baby's earlobes because, uhh ... i get cysts in mine sometimes and thats kinda scary. earlobes must be bad.
and yes, im being hostile. we should be hostile toward INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION and those who support it.
mutilating your child's genitals without anesthetic for cosmetic reasons is abuse. if you disagree with that you're fucking wrong.
ive been playing it because a friend bought it and has library sharing with me
the keanu thing is even worse than i thought. i thought he'd be a one-off character who does his thing, dies, is le epic gamer wholesome 100 or whatever and then he fucks off.
spoiler
the entire story is literally about him now. i have no idea if the rest of the game is gonna be like this but he has invaded my mind and physically abuses me in my bedroom at night. im not even joking. that's what the game's story is at the point im at now.
i would hope people would be "a little extreme" about widespread, normalized infant genital mutilation
you are the weird one for not being upset about it
It honestly doesn't even seem unlikely to me. Like, one of Reddit's most active power-users was an eccentric and narcissistic rich pedophile, wow, what a surprise. I would've assumed they all are.
