communities like childfree pop up because people get relentlessly harassed by family to have kids they don't want.
communities like childfree become like childfree because the people who need the outlet are the ones suffering that harassment. It's like how the most organized and militant atheists are from very religious areas because they're the ones who actually have to deal with bullshit whereas i haven't had a person assume I was religious or be shitty to me directly on the basis of religion in years.
I think the comparison with internet atheists is apt. Some are lashing out because they're being persecuted. Some, however, are just loud contrarian assholes.
