Fake videos show frustrated, unmarried, childless middle-aged women crying and venting in hospital hallways about their life choices.
I would lose so much respect for my parents if they used an AI generated video to try and convince me of something.
Would you respect your parents more of they paid actors and a cameraman to create the video instead?
At least then they put some effort into it
Shaming people into having kids works so well
They rush to have children who are then cherished and not resented
/s
The one child policy really gonna be up there with killing all the sparrows long term…
It was in place 45 years and only gone a decade.
You can’t just flip a cultural switch and expect them to become bunnies overnight. And that’s not even getting into the economic part.
Kids are fucking expensive.
When workers aren’t paid well, people stop having kids. That shrinks labor supply in a generation, workers can command enough pay to have kids, and population will stabilize.
The wealthy hate populations dropping, because they have the luxury to plan ahead and know eventually it leads to more powerful workers.
It’s why it’s a constant boogeyman and reproduction has been prioritized thru virtually all of recorded human history.

Except that killing the sparrows was a bad idea.
Getting rid of pests was the problem, and it was a real one…
Killing all the sparrows was a legitimate attempt to help that backfired.
Overpopulation was and still is a problem.
One child would have theoretically been managed, but ignored how people act individually and the desire to have a son. An honest and legitimate attempt to mitigate a real problem backfired.
I feel it’s an apt comparison, even if I didn’t explain enough at first
Yeah… the difference is that one (sparrows) was just a bad idea due to a total misunderstanding of the problem. The sparrows weren’t the pests, the bugs they eat were.
The other (one child) is a good idea that was poorly managed due to unexpected cultural mores. Even so it would still be effective once people are “incentivized” to give up on the foolishness of prioritizing one sex over the other.
Well, you might not understand it, but you learned how to repeat it at least
We’ll call it a win I guess.
Well, you might not understand it
Pretty strong words considering what they were meaning to say with their original comment completely flew over your head
Good thing the government, led by the vanguard and guided by the Immortal Science, wisely choose to implement a one child policy for so long.
My parents and extended family: “why don’t you find a nice girl to [blah blah blah]”
Me: “haha yes I’ll get right on that”
Me: having mega gay sex in addition to actively not wanting children, even if I was medically a good candidate to father them
Parents/extended: “I just don’t understand”
Me: upgrades to ultra mega gay sex
Out of curiosity, what is the second level upgrade or evolution?
asking for a friend
it goes gay, gayra, gayraga, gayraja
Parents (not being able to tell the videos are AI-generated): “See this? This will be you in 30 years if you don’t get married and have kids very soon!”
Kids (able to see the videos are visit AI-generated): “Suuuuure!”
The fact that it’s AI generated tells the kids that it doesn’t happen in real life.
Nice to know the ungodly toxic, overbearing and boundryless parent is a universal phenomenon.
Worst than going to the hospital alone and spending old age alone is doing that after doing all the work of having kids. I will be alone and I’m taking care of that but I know people relying on children that don’t give a fuck about them.
How is life in China actually? There must be a reason people don’t want children. I imagine work culture, bad pay, bad prospects, and inability to secure housing are top among the reasons.
There must be a reason people don’t want children.
Yeah, kids cry and shit a lot. You don’t need a reason not to want them, you need a reason to have them.
They also take up all your goddamn time with storytime and cuddles and teaching them how to ride a bike or type their name out on a keyboard or playing lego or making crafts or going on adventures or eating cheese
And doctor appointments, and driving them to school and from school and standing next to them watching them stand there not doing anything just in case the fall down and hit their head on the floor and cooking 3 different breakfasts for them because they changed their mind 3 times and so on and so on. Yeah, it’s very rewarding for some, not that appealing for others.
NYT put out a video 3 weeks ago covering a few guys that couldn’t get women. The video says there’s 30 million more men than women in the country due to the one child policy.
But that figure could be inflated
I believe China has too much housing right now. But the rest seems to be reason enough.
Don’t get carried away. The reason is the opposite of what you think.
Their birth rates dropped dramatically because they raised so many people out of poverty with socialism. But now capitalism demands that they generate more workers.
Pretty deep irony, because very recently they weren’t allowed to have more than one child.
Maybe work on fixing that 16% youth unemployment rate, think that’ll work a lot better then showing them slop
AI is a shit show.
Absolutely unhinged lol
Seems more likely to cause some suicides.
Why pay though?
china’s long history of controlling their
citizens’prisoners’ reproductionHave a feeling this will backfire simply because comedy
