Fake videos show frustrated, unmarried, childless middle-aged women crying and venting in hospital hallways about their life choices.
Why pay though?
Worst than going to the hospital alone and spending old age alone is doing that after doing all the work of having kids. I will be alone and I’m taking care of that but I know people relying on children that don’t give a fuck about them.
Childless, child free.This is such an important distinction, tbh
They’re each trying to put their own spin on it, there is no actual distinction in the words, just in the subtext/implication.
The former implies it’s a lacking of a necessary thing, the latter implies it’s the avoidance of an unnecessary burden. It’s completely subjective whether a child is one or the other to someone.
It’s a broadcast of one’s own biases to consider either of these terms more ‘valid’ than the other.
At the very least, if you’re trying to persuade to have kids, people who have chosen to not have kids, those people are not childless, they are child free. Their will is to be without child. They are not failing at having kids, they are succeeding at not having them.
I am dubious of your intermediate and final claims. For something to be necessary, it means that one cannot go without it. Is procreation a biological imperative, with strong positive reinforcement from the individual’s biological feedbacks? Sure. But is it necessary? Strictly, no.
I don’t think you can make the claim that someone saying it is not necessary is inherently biased. To claim that procreation is not strictly necessary is a neutral, objectively true position. The bias in the perspective of “child-free” is the implied framing of the lack of procreation as a personal or moral good. Procreation is, again, unnecessary, and is (in many ways literally) a burden. Whether one frames that unnecessary burden as positive or negative is at issue here.
I don’t appreciate the claim that people must be biased in order to observe simple facts, denuded of emotion.
My parents and extended family: “why don’t you find a nice girl to [blah blah blah]”
Me: “haha yes I’ll get right on that”
Me: having mega gay sex in addition to actively not wanting children, even if I was medically a good candidate to father them
Parents/extended: “I just don’t understand”
Me: upgrades to ultra mega gay sex
Out of curiosity, what is the second level upgrade or evolution?
asking for a friend
it goes gay, gayra, gayraga, gayraja
Whack
Parents (not being able to tell the videos are AI-generated): “See this? This will be you in 30 years if you don’t get married and have kids very soon!”
Kids (able to see the videos are visit AI-generated): “Suuuuure!”
The fact that it’s AI generated tells the kids that it doesn’t happen in real life.
Nice to know the ungodly toxic, overbearing and boundryless parent is a universal phenomenon.
How is life in China actually? There must be a reason people don’t want children. I imagine work culture, bad pay, bad prospects, and inability to secure housing are top among the reasons.
NYT put out a video 3 weeks ago covering a few guys that couldn’t get women. The video says there’s 30 million more men than women in the country due to the one child policy.
But that figure could be inflated
AI is a shit show.
Maybe work on fixing that 16% youth unemployment rate, think that’ll work a lot better then showing them slop
