Note that I’m not just talking about the shitheads who cause forest fires or water contamination, with their bullshit. I’m talking about ANY of this dumb shit.

People used to have some goddamn dignity. If you wanted to keep the sex of the baby a secret, then you’d have both pink and blue cigars ready to hand out, after the birth. If you wanted the doctor to tell you, then that’s fine. You’d be talking to your friends and you’d go “yeah, the new kid’s gonna be a girl.”

The whole concept of an extra baby shower, just to hoot and holler about that shit is FUCKING INTOLERABLE.

As far as I’m concerned, it shows that these dipshits are only interested in their offspring as accessories to their own lives. They’re after the attention they can get, off the back of their children. They’re after the lifestyle of being a parent, so they can associate with other people who define themselves based on the social and material trappings of parenting. And they’re drooling after social media likes and views.

Anyone who participates in that shit is proving that they’re not interested in being the parent of a human being. They’re just making a doll to dress up and pose for pictures, starting before the child is even out of the womb.

To reiterate the title: if it was up to me, everyone who has ever had any kind of gender-reveal nonsense for their upcoming kid should have that child seized by the state, hopefully to be raised by real people, rather than soulless degenerates.

    It is annoying, but you’re way too extreme. Take their kids from them!? You are an actual crazy person. You should not be allowed near schools.

      Agreed. It’s annoying for sure, but OP is insane. Even if it’s stupid, there’s absolutely nothing about it that indicates negligence of anywhere near the degree needed to justify forcibly removing a child from their parents.

      Where is this attitude coming from? I really don’t get it. People have their kids taken away from them all the time. For a whole bunch of different reasons. It literally happens every day. I just want to add one more reason, and it’s a perfectly good one.

      I’m genuinely confused by your extreme reaction.
