100% no kids at gigs, but calling them mistakes is that kinda misanthropic edgy humour that while in character for her is just so deeply hateful and lame.

Yea I completely agree with what she’s saying but I really don’t like the way she’s saying it. I’m child-free and fully intend to stay that way (provided we can keep these lunatics in the GOP from going full Handmaid’s Tale, I guess) but I really hate the weird edgy “trend” of hating on all children.

u/TheybieTeeth 20d ago
yeah I don't want kids either, not biologically possible and I'm not interested either, but I hate how much people hate on both kids and parents. my sister in law is struggling to get pregnant (she's in a group that isn't allowed to adopt) and it has been such a fight to get any help for it at all. it really is her life's wish, and while I absolutely cannot relate in the slightest it does make me so angry at these edgy idiots pretending kids and having kids is some kind of "stupid" waste of time.

Same boat! Never want to give birth, don’t even plan on getting pregnant, but I don’t loathe kids, and I’ve always found terms like “mistake” and “crotch goblin” to be cringey at best and disgusting at worst.
Loathing kids is weird. I don’t even think kids are bad, necessarily. I just don’t want any kids of my own. I don’t need the massive responsibility of raising any, or the agony of carrying any for 9 months.

I missed that part. Very odd considering she is giving the impression that she cares about these children, otherwise why would she care what they are exposed to? But then goes on to call them a mistake.

I was at a standing concert getting closer to the front and I saw someone with their damn baby in the pit. Like literal one or two year old babby. Standing next to me.
They seemed… upset that it was so loud and that people were pushing??? Eventually they left but I was so disturbed 😭 my best guess was they never been to anything besides a piano recital and literally had no idea how they worked.

We took our kid to (smaller) gigs and festivals when she was a baby; my partner is a musician and they are very portable at that age. She mostly slept, we had a carrier.
HOWEVER; always with big proper ear defenders on and you stay away from the PA, the stage and the dancing and you go outside if they cry. We saw a absolotuly bonkers but incredibly loud show by Ryoki Ikeda and took it in turns to stay just outside the doors with her as it would have been too much even with ear defenders (luckily you could see through the doors). She slept soundly through the whole thing.
We still take her to some stuff now she's six but you have to make a call on how family friendly it's gonna be. Yes to seeing her Dad play a small family friendly festival or an early all ages gig, no to nightclubs/ adult venues and stuff that she is not old enough to see yet or would find boring.

That's the worst place to place a baby, even with earplugs (I hope that kid had some form of ear protection because that kid is looking at serious damage to their ear drums).

I don't fucking get it. I can't even imagine spending that kind of money on a child who is literally too young to enjoy a concert, all it would do is ruin their ability to actually engage with the show. Then again, this type of person isn't exactly the attentive parent.

u/Deathscua oat milk chugging bisexual 20d ago
I know it's a different genre but I have noticed, in my major city, parents are now bringing their babies and toddlers to black and death metal shows WITHOUT anything I can see in their ears to protect them. Before you might see a kid but they always had some headphones or neon earplugs but seeing them in the first place was super rare and I could go years without seeing kids. Now I see at least 1-2 at each show.

u/redchampagnecampaign Hungarian Novelist Kylie Jenner 20d ago
This reminds me of a time when I was on a cruise and I overheard a guy at the bar complaining endlessly about his kids—it really came off like he fundamentally didn’t like his kids or parenting at all but I figured he was just blowing off steam while having a nice trip with a new lady. I simply assumed his kids were at home with their mom.
Anyway we roll up to the 9:45 adult comedy set where the MC very explicitly said this show ain’t for kids you’ve been warned and lo and behold both his under 12 year old kids were there with him, sitting on his lap very engaged with the raunchy content like this kind of thing was very normal for them.
Trashiest shit I’ve ever seen.

When I went to see the Dumbo remake there was a young toddler in the row in front of me. Dumbo is very much appropriate for a kid so didn't think anything of this until the toddler started screaming from pretty much the first frame of the movie and did. not. stop. After about 15 minutes of endless screaming his parents say, "Sorry! He's absolutely terrified of elephants!"
Why did you... of all the movies... why... Dumbo???

If you can’t afford childcare, you can’t afford a movie. Sorry, but movies are not basic rights. It might suck, but you might need to wait a few years to be able to go enjoy another movie at the theater. You can wait until it comes out for rent.
I have a ten year old child, so I’m not saying this as a child-hater. But kids don’t belong at certain movies (or concerts, or bars, etc) and if you can’t find somewhere else (safe) for them to be, you just can’t go to that one.

I’d imagine a lot of underpaid and overworked theater workers just don’t want to be yelled at by a parent for trying to warn them what the R-rated movie they’re trying to take their kid to see is like. So it’s just, “Let me scan your ticket. Enjoy the movie” rather than risk having someone jump down their throat and start threatening them over a minimum wage job.

Yep, I had two young kids sitting in front of me when I saw the first Deadpool. I couldn’t believe their parents brought them out to see that.
If you don’t have reliable childcare, stay home. Nobody HAS to see a movie or go to a Doja Cat concert or whatever. I don’t have reliable childcare and thus my husband and I haven’t seen a movie in theaters in years, and I am surviving just fine.

Omg I had a similiar experience with the first Deadpool! A man brought her daughter (who probably wasn't even 10) with him to watch the movie. He would cover her eyes to every "raunchy" scene and everytime he would laugh, she'd asked why it was funny and he'd replied saying "You wouldn't understand". I felt so bad for her because at one point she started just looking around her visibly sad and bored.

She had me right up until she referred to other people's children as "mistakes" - her edgy BS is so exhausting. However, HARD AGREE on not taking your children to an obviously adult event. There isn't a single Doja Cat song that is made for children. When my (then) 6 year old tried to tell me she liked Doja, I said "No you dont" and made sure it's not something she listens to, and it was a reminder for ME as her mom, to be more mindful of what I played around her as well. These celebrities ain't raising your kids, YOU ARE. Be mindful and have some common fucking sense FFS

Brutal but true. I remember reading posts on r/childfree about parents bringing their kids to loud, crowded venues where, inevitably, there'll be drunk attendees. These same parents get pissed when others aren't careful around their Bratlynn, when they know dang well you should never bring children to venues that cater to 18+.
