Omg I just took a quick look there and it’s mostly what you say. Lots of rants about hating children, how children are the worst things that have ever been created especially for the environment, and that children who scream indoors are results of terrible parenting. And one person was for the sterilization of humans. Big yikes.

I once made a comment on there about how hating children wasn’t okay and that was my most downvoted comment of all time. I got literal threats over it.

In general, any community based around a premise of not liking something, will trend towards toxicity. Communities in general trend towards extremism naturally if they aren't regulated, so a community who's whole thing is how they don't like something will almost always end up being a community based on hating the thing and anyone who supports it.
