I find it unconsciencable that it’s just assumed that you’ll be okay with having to live dispite lacking any ability to consent to being born. And then when you don’t want to be alive everyone calls you selfish for considering suicide. It’s an inherently broken system.
This has given me food for thought. I’ll make an indie rpg that tackles this very topic.
People be like “life’s shit” and then they consume food designed to keep them addicted, media picked by an algorithm to keep them watching and move less than a sloth in a day.
You’re not forced to be a wage slave. Just go live in the woods, plan a heist, get rid of a CEO or something like that. Live a little.
You gonna practice what you preach?
I quit my phone addiction when they added YouTube shorts and the Reddit API changes, I stopped eating processed foods during covid, because I was bored and learned how to cook (I gained 80 pounds due to overeating on my own cooking…) And am forced to move because I’ve picked up RC driving as a hobby and I don’t really like to drive safely.
Apparently I’m the result of a ripped condom and I’ve already made it known that I wished they’d have aborted. They divorced within a year of my birth, neither had any business being a parent. I still care about them enough that I don’t want them to suffer at all so I’m just waiting until they pass so I can do the job myself.
This Be The Verse
By Philip LarkinThey fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.The other side of that coin is that people also tend to learn from their parents mistakes and at least avoid some of the negative patterns that came before.
No one can be a perfect parent, but most parents try their best to give their kids a good childhood and then there are some who should have never had kids in the first place.
A bit of nuance is in order, else poems lile that one just feels too fucking childish for me to take seriously. It reeks of I’m 14 and this is deep.
Let’s not get too hot and bothered by sixteen lines of copypasta doggerel. As far as nuance goes, the entire point of the poem is to serve as “baby’s first nuance.” Its intended audience is indeed 14-year-olds (and others who share their solipsism) who think they are deep, and who resent their parents – as if those parents didn’t try, as if those parents weren’t ever children themselves. And Larkin, misanthropic shit that he was, mischievously suggests that perhaps those people should not have children themselves.
Anyway, it seemed appropriate to post in response to a shitpost about someone who is angry at being born without their consent.
disavow
Feel bad for people named EULA
You didn’t even agreed to come, much less the rules
no one had a choice, the cycle continues
Can’t selflessly have a baby and consent is impossible.
I get serotonin via sex and I ain’t never got pregnant. 🤷♂️
Men be like
Lmao sex isn’t real.
