think about it, freepers ridicule EVERYTHING that doesn't fit within their own personal view of the world. i agree with you, there are judgmental statements made about those who are intentionally childless, but there are also plenty who ridicule those they consider to have TOO MANY kids [eg; the it's not a uterus is a clowncar gif that riles people up], or people who aren't SCIENCE majors in college etc etc etc. Freepers are just a judgmental lot, period. i think the freeriders need to take a chillpill and not feel so singled out for ridicule.
There are so many other ways I can be ridiculed.
I think the difference with the clown car is that it’s a teasing jab whereas the attacks on the childless are very pointed, mean and insulting. just in this thread they are called selfish, deformed and horrible people. Regardless of the jokes thrown at those with too many children, I’ve never seen anyone call them deranged or accuse them of being the downfall of society. Frankly, many of those I know who choose to remain childless do so for very unselfish reasons. And many of those I know who have chosen to have children have done so for very selfish reasons. To try to lump all into one category or another is rather shallow.
FReepers are a very judgemental lot, that’s for sure.
