    In cartoon ducks: overly simplistic but cute, naive, and innocent

    In humans: pronatalism. weird disgusting pseudo colonial bullshit that’s the dark mirror to “just” wanting kids.

    Edit: sorry for throwing cynicism into a cute comic’s comment section. Promise I’m fine 😅

        True. Lots of pronatalists tend towards eugenics, so doubt they’re huge fans of adoptions.

        OTOH, even nurture-over-nature pronatalists would be problematic. “I’m better than everyone else so I should have an outsize impact on the next generation by adopting as many children as possible” is only slightly better than the eugenic variant.

      I can’t tell if you hate ducks or are simply a pro-natalist. Regardless go watch a movie or play a game or something, may I suggest Red Dead Redemption? It’s currently on sale on steam.

        That’s an impressively incorrect reading of the comment.

          Can’t see any other point they were making then. Unless they are just trying to call hypocrisy towards folks thinking animals having lots of babies is cute while humans doing the same is bad. Because if that is the point that’s missing so much fucken context that if it was a physical object it’d be a fucken mountain range, mostly because most animal babies die pretty fucken often. From experience chicks alone have like a 60 percent mortality rating if humans aren’t directly involved in taking care of them, roosters apparently love to eat chicks.

            They’re saying that “more babies = more success” is a funny and cute idea when expressed by a cartoon duck, but is extremely harmful when expressed by humans in the real world. I honestly can’t imagine how you reached your interpretation of the comment because it seems to have very little in common with anything they said.
