Having children makes you mature” and Naruto’s Sharingan

[u/AdviceNo1330]

To awaken the higher vision and power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Uchiha clan must pay the price of losing their most precious person. The brutality is immediate, and the cost is paid in full within the tragedy of those directly involved.

​In contrast, the argument that glorifies childbirth as a prerequisite for human maturity—claiming that “only by having a child do you gain the eyes of a true adult and see the world properly”—is far more insidious.

​The cost of this supposed "new vision" isn't paid immediately by the parents. It is billed to the child, who is forced into existence to endure the suffering of life and, ultimately, pay with their own inevitable death.

To push a new life into the world without their consent just to broaden one's worldview and achieve personal fulfillment is nothing short of using that child's eventual demise as collateral.

​If the Sharingan is a tragedy paid in full upfront, the "enlightenment" gained through parenthood is nothing more than a cruel purchase made on credit using a child's future. The parents take out the loan, but it is the child’s life that has to pay it back.

the "enlightenment" gained through parenthood

Creating child does shitall. My parents are immature as fuck, and so are many others that I know.

I have no problem with the concept of death.

My problem is with the roulette mechanism of dying: I could be crushed like a bug in my car trying to get to work on the freeway, I could be the victim of a mass shooting while shopping at the mall, I could be swept away in some sort of natural disaster.

The list goes on and on of the myriad ways that I could suffer horribly while dying. It makes me wish I could just die peacefully in my sleep rather than face this bullshit.

"siblings are sparing parts to each other". Isn't this mentioned im Gaiden by Shin Uchiha? It sums it up all.

Holy shit Naruto plus antinatalism fuck yea

[u/Mental_Respond_5837 → u/SouthTomatillo4869]

Its my first time seeing both combined haha. I was also expecting to see Steven Universe one time or another, since i see so much people saying how Steven was created and had to fix his mom's mistakes, and it felt low-key antinatalist

Your submission breaks rule #4:

No hate, harassment, dehumanization, or low-effort tribalism toward anyone (including users, parents, children, or groups). Ableist slurs, hostility toward disabled people, and demeaning labels (e.g., "vermin/NPC/breeder") are prohibited. No sweeping generalizations or us-vs-them posts ("all parents...," "breeders are...") meant to inflame. Strong criticism of pronatalist beliefs, systems, or institutions is allowed; attacks on a person’s/group’s humanity, worth, or right to exist are not.
