If you have ever told people IRL you don't want kids the level of personal attacks you get are fucking wild.

That's why i call it "a bitter adolescent thing". Building identities and communities about "bad behaviours other people supposedly have" is very common in children.

Nobody really cares about what you do with your life. What you identify as "wild personal attacks" is probably benign behaviour which you choose to interpret dramatically. If people actually attacked you for these topics you would remove yourself from them. The only people who cannot remove themselves from the toxic people in their lives are children.
