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.

    Lol, spoken like someone that specifically hates a certain couple. You compared it to a baby shower, but it’s a distinctly separate deal. Where a shower is for the parents, they get gifts and such to prepare them for a new child. A gender reveal party is more like a wedding, it’s a party for your friends and loved ones, more the soon-to-be grandparents. In the past where medical tech couldn’t accurately guess the sex of an unborn child, sure, people would get pink and blue stuff, but when that changed, finding out became a bit of a milestone in the process. Some people keep it low-key and just tell people who ask, others want to make a cute event of it. Your post says far more about you than the people you call “soulless degenerates”.
