    I’m not taking offense. It sounded to me like the guy in this image was taking offense. I was asking the same questions, you’re asking me now. “Why would you take offense to someone saying they’re happy?” Clearly I’m the only one interpeting it that way

      I don’t know if the original person in the picture meant it that way, but I do know that this meme is frequently used to start an antinatalist circle jerk, so I support you coming out swinging.

        The antinatalists and the childfree don’t need much to make themselves the victims in comment sections tbf

          Really hoping I didn’t come across as an antinatalist because I fucking hate antinatalists. They’re the dumbest fucking people.

            Nah you’re good. Your other comment acknowledged that having kids makes some people happy even if it wouldn’t make you happy.

            Anti-natalists really are the worst at respecting other people’s choices.

      Yeah I don’t think the guy in the image was taking offense, it was just a funny response to the father apologizing for being so happy.

      I really don’t understand your phrasing of your original comment then because it was really coming off as passive aggression
