>>771157> most dudes are bitchless or avoiding that family faggot shit?Not true. Roughly 75–85% of adults have at least one child by the end of their reproductive years. In high-income countries (like the U.S., Western Europe, Japan): The share is lower, typically around 65–80%, but still a majority. Isolating it to males in high income countries, roughly 60–75% of them eventually have at least one biological child attributed to them.
Even if this number drops significantly, it will likely remain a sizeable percentage of the population. Even people who regret having kids or have kids on accident usually love their families and friends and would do something to save them, which is why fiction frames these scenarios so commonly. Why might certain people feel alienated by others having loved ones?
