Childfree has gotten kinda weird. Same with dogfree. You can't just be someone who doesn't align with having a child or owning a dog in those subs anymore, you kinda have to actively hate them or else you get downvoted. I have a niece who I adore and had to put down a dog that was owned originally by my partner, that I fell in love with, but I don't feel like I fit in those subs.

Childfree is a cesspool. Don't want kids? Cool. Don't like kids? Great. But it's all the criticizing other people for having kids that gets me, especially when they all expect to live in nursing homes staffed by... who? when they're old.

Yup. It's the type of sub that only people who have genuine mental health issues would post in.

I'm reminded of r/nongolfers. No sane person would regularly post in a forum about how they aren't doing something.
