I don't get the rage that some of these comments have from seeing this meme.
It doesn't say that anyone actually did or said anything, just that their expression dropped after seeing an infant board a plane.
People are allowed to be disappointed. I mean, I don't think that most parents actually love hearing screaming and/or crying either. Is a (probably) brief facial expression seriously the same as hating all children, or wishing for them to dissapear to some of you guys? Jeez Louise.
I mean, normally I wouldn't give a hoot either way. Kids on the plane, no kids on the plane, whatever. If I had a migraine that day though, yeah, I wouldn't be thrilled. I wouldn't be upset at anyone for the noise in the slightest, but I also wouldn't be joyful about it.
Are we certain that that's the actual contect of the picture, or did someone just say it was? Is this the accurate, OG text on the picture? Did any one of those people actually say or do anything beyond a facial expression when seeing very small children board the plane?
Some of you guys need to take a deep breath and just relax. I'm referring to both extremes with this.
It's because they themselves have kids lol
and some people in these comments seem to fail to make the distinction between being childfree and an antinatalist
For real. Ill never understand when people are like "having children is the best thing you can do". Like hell nah!
Makes me think that a lot of these people are pissed off that those who can't afford or just don't give a shit about being sentenced to parenthood for life won't have anyone to exploit when their kids grow up. Also misery loves company. People get really angry when they realize their life didn't have to end that way and that they actually had a choice so to validate their mistakes they shame and try to push others who didn't into the same so they can say "there, you see? There really isn't any other choice"
Hard disagree. Kill all the children!
