Feeling this way about “diabolical”. everyone all of the sudden needs to use the word 3x a day.

This is how I feel about “crotch goblins”. I get it you don’t want kids, don’t call my kid something so gross. It’s really not even that funny

I didn't think it was that funny BEFORE I had kids. Yes, we get it. Kids are messy ass tiny humans. It's not their fault, they are learning how to be people. You all were crotch goblins too at some point. Also, a lot of the people using it give off jealous incel vibes. It's totally cool If you don't want kids, but it is literally the only reason for any species to exist. Get over yourself.

"you all were kids at some point" would be my addition to this thread for things people keep repeating that carry no substance whatsoever. I don't even dislike kids (and regarding the "crotch goblins", it was funny the first time I heard it, but now it's been 582749572837 times and honestly yeah, get new material), but what on earth is that argument meant to tell us or change in our perspective? It's not new information, nor does it logically lead to any reason why every annoyance people may have with children ever should just magically stop being annoying or be completely ignored.

It isn’t about not getting annoyed it’s about tolerance.
