Is r/childhate actually trolling us?

I'm proud to share my first post from/childhate!!!

http://www.reddit.com/r/childhate/comments/unxqw/finally_a_subreddit_to_show_off_my_child_hat_e/

Edit: I say, lets flood it with funny since the throwaway MOD is unlikely to ever come back and change the 'Sister' comment.

Edit 2: WOW. They banned all of us and deleted the pics. Oh well, guess such negative people have a hard time taking a joke.

Why don't we just let them be trolls in their little subreddit that nobody's ever heard of or cares about, and we just represent ourselves here, and not give them free advertising?

It's obvious that that subreddit is someone's idea of humor, and if anyone ever asks, we can politely set them straight.

At the moment, it's an unknown sub with 9 people and 2 links. We don't need to stamp a link to them in our sidebar.

It has to be a troll. I didn't look at it, but I disliked how it was called 'sister' subreddit, and that it was created by a throwaway.

The childfree already have a lot of bad PR and people already make generalizations about us. I really don't want to be associated with that subreddit. I may unsubscribe from this subreddit, because it's becoming counter-productive. I can actually engage in more meaningful childfree dialogue with real people much easier than I have been able to here.

It's definitely something I don't want associated with Childfree. There's still the one link on there to the pictures of dead kids. In the comments is a link to pictures of abortions.

I don't think we are being trolled because looking at the poster's history (of the link), he spends most of his time looking at this shit.

I just want to "sister subreddit" thing to go away because associating a perfectly legitimate life choice of being childfree with a desire to look at pictures of dead children is going to do damage.

There were a handful of legitimate child-haters that showed their true colors in this thread. They were extremely offended to find the rest of us did not share their views so they made their own sub.

/r/beatingwomen calls itself a sister subreddit of /r/MensRights. Just let them troll, it's only another troll subreddit, like /r/RapingWomen, /r/spacedicks or /r/ShitRedditSays.

That is disgusting. There is a HUGE difference between deciding to not have children and legitimately hating kids. In no way should /r/childfree be associated with /r/childhate. It's not only disrespectful to everyone, but down right inappropriate.

I am 100% for a disclaimer saying we don't hate children and are in no way affiliated with r/childhate. If the angry people don't like it, they can leave our sub reddit for the other.

A disclaimer disassociating ourselves with r/childhate is a good idea. I don't want to be connected to pictures of dead children; I love children, I just don't want any myself. And I definitely don't want to see dead children.

Yea dude, we need to make sure that people don't see us as them. I have nothing against kids. I don't hate them. I just don't want any of my own.

Perhaps some people from the childfree community should not have accused some of us of hating children and to create another subreddit. That actually happened. I am sure it was meant as a 'fuck off' from another childfree.

DONT FEED THE TROLL!

MrsViking · 11 months

Indeed, it should be in our little sidebar that we are not affiliated with r/childhate.

A small disclaimer would be a good idea, seeing some of the trolling from said unwanted subreddit here.

Frankly, this place is pretty much is a hate group already. Any time I've tried to moderate hateful comments, I've been told I'm in the wrong place by someone else.

I know a lot of people are venting about the constant pressure to have kids, which is a legitimate expression. But maybe if they learned to respond like adults and not peevish teenagers things would go better.

I don't know what I was expecting when I subscribed, but this isn't it.

People obviously don't understand the meaning behind /r/childfree. Let me hit you up with some knowledge redditors! /r/childfree is a place for women who are infertile/do not want children. It is not a hateful place towards children. /r/childfree is for women to come together and celebrate why we having children is not a necessity. I do not want children, I find that not wanting to have a child because I know I cannot raise it is the most loving thing, not child hate. I personally do not hate children, i just do not want to give up my life to have one, I do not see the benefit in it for myself. For those of you who hate children, really do disgust me because they are innocent beings, you were once a child also. Do not hate, hating something is only going to bring more negativity in the world. That is all folks.
