I'm fine with him not passing on his genes. We've got 7.5 Billion people; we can afford to cull.
How many of the people mad that Dax Herrera doesn't have a Brayden and Elisabette Herrera-- how many of them even have a spouse? I don't understand the whole "having kids is the most important thing ever also I'm 20 tfwnogf" synergy.
I think maybe all they are considering is the egocentric "muh legacy" thing. There's a lot of ways having chilluns can go horribly wrong. Everyone with a thread was created by people who never suspected what their baby fever would lead them to.
EDIT: Don't take the above wrong. I'm not going r/childfree on you. If you want to have a kid because you think it will give your life meaning, go ahead. It's risky, but nothing ventured.
I just object to the whole "genetic legacy" argument. Why is that something worth caring about? And why do I mostly hear that from young men nowhere close to creating a genetic legacy? Furthermore, if that's your.thing, you should focus on fucking as many other people's young wives as possible. You'll pass on way more genes if you aren't responsible for your progeny.
