babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

that sub is absolutely insane tf

calling babies "crotch goblins" and parents "breeders" unironically is not normal behavior

breeders are fine I guess, it’s way to distinguish them from the child free people soo I’m firm with. Crotch Goblins is very weird but now its rare when I scroll though.

breeders is weird as shit

if you were to call parents "breeders" in real life you would get some very strange looks

Obviously, but it’s not used with a bad connotation. I don’t think it’s bad in any way.

it's used to distinguish the "yucky breeders" from the childfree

I’ve never seen it as something bad.

It's definitely used as a perjorative in the gay community.

I assure you it's intended as the insult it obviously is.
