People are sharing their own views and outlooks. There is nothing "distasteful" about that, nor are these people selfish and entitled. Bizarre comment.

If they were really selfish, then they'd stop being parents. It's not selfish to say that something you're going through is hard or sucks if you're still putting in the work.


I think there's a strong argument to be made that people choosing to not have children far less selfish as far as ecological damage is concerned.

The thing with the most impact to climate and environment is without a doubt, people. People having kids are selfish.


The answer is not for there to be less people--less youth and vitality in the world--or to deny anyone the right to have children (within limits. You can't just be plopping out 5 kids if you're a broke fuckwit).
