Philippe posted:I watched Children of Men! I hadn't seen it in ages and didn't really remember any of it, and it turns out it's somehow more depressing than Threads. I haven't seen it in ages, but it was a well made movie. As a person who doesn't have children though, I felt the premise of complete societal collapse because humans stopped being able to have kids a bit of a stretch. |

I remember thinking this movie was the poo poo at the time, and maybe it's better left that way. Cannot relate at all to flipping out because people can't have kids anymore tbh

The book was a lot more hedonistic and focused on both the youngest generation and the weird poo poo people did without kids (like elaborate baptism rituals for baby animals). |

Yeah it's kind of funny how the one central "what if" thought experiment fell so flat. Like, all the elements are there. There was An Event. Civilization is at an end. A child appears, who is The Key To Salvation. One Man must protect the child and Deliver Them. Waterworld, Last of Us, the Bible, it's a pretty well established trope to build a good story on. But when you circle back to The Event... What was it? War? Aliens? Zombies? No, people just stopped procreating. Okaaaaay. |

I think the gist is that, worldwide, life is turds rn and having kids is something that was more possible in the Before Times and thus the possibility of No Kids was possibly a hella scary concept for a movie in slightly less poo poo times like when the movie was made and now it's kind of quaint honestly compared to how bad everything is

RavenousScoot posted:huh I assumed breeders was derogatory towards vance/musk types who are creepy about their opinions on those who don't have kids, not whatever's going on here It's origin is a derogatory term for straight people, mainly targeting women, that was, used by gay men and women since at least the 1970s and probably earlier. It was picked up by malicious people who infested "childfree support" communities and used to describe anyone who so much as thought positively of any child, anywhere, at any time. Again, mainly targeting straight women. (childfree on livejournal started out as a place where women (and men!) could talk about the pressure from family/community/culture to have children when they didn't want them or, at most, didn't want them right now. the insane people were the ones who actively hated children.) I just assume anyone saying it looks like this all the time
