Kinda hope people are not making big life changing decisions like this based on what their parents did or did not buy them as a child.

I think you’re taking this meme way too seriously.
And parents should not be pressuring their kids to have kids they don’t want.
Oh honey…
No “You sweet summer child” ?
Which ever dialect works best.
👍
We call this hyperbolic dark humor. It’s meant to be irrational and to sound unhinged. That’s where the humor lies.
Good to know 👍

There’s a kind of a streak of maybe well intentioned but pretty relentless humourlessness on Lemmy. Apologies for being argumentative, but did you think this 2 panel comic strip was representative of an actual scenario someone’s experiencing? Do you think they really are as you say, making big life decisions based on what their parents did or did not but them as a child? Or do you not think maybe the decision to depict this scenario in this format might indicate it’s more likely a joke?

Most humour has some truth to it no? Otherwise it’s not normally funny.
I can see from comments outside of mine that it’s struck a cord with some, as they have seemingly had bad relationships with their own parents.
Not sure why my comment sucks out enough to question my sense of humour, as I was just commenting that I hope people really are not making these sorts of calls based on spite. I suspect sadly that’s probably not always the case due to the complexities of people.

Yes. It is funny.
Not everything on the Internet should be taken as seriously as you are. If you are upset by this two panel meme, that’s something you need to reflect upon yourself.

To put your mind at rest, I’m not losing sleep from this or in any form of distress. My comment is so mild and not critical of the post, that I can’t even understand why it provoked anyone else to reply.
