Mia Farrow with 14 kids. (Impressive!)
And DMX with 17 kids.
Having big family is a fetish
Hmm
Breeding your wife is a fetish
I guess there are all kinds of fetishes, but just having a big family doesn’t seem like one. If it was a woman who wanted lots of kids I guess their fetish was getting bred lol. Those kinky Jehova’s Witnesses and Mormons, now I know what they are all about
I would argue the age of these characters is peculiar. Also, the age difference between the kids. This seems less like someone envisioning a family with a lot of kids and more someone who is delusional about the prospect of ever getting older or having children that grow up.
“I want a wife who is never older than 30 and children who never hit puberty” is delusional. That’s before you get into the Mormon problem of “surplus males” and how that affects the more orthodox corners of their community. When having multiple wives becomes a status symbol, and having lots of children becomes a status symbol, but the guy/girl ratio isn’t 1:3, you have to start asking what happens to all the horny, defiant, increasingly disenfranchised teenage boys who have to watch their dad marry one of the girls from their high school class.
This isn’t strictly a fetish so much as it is a fantasy. While there’s nothing wrong with having vague, mushy, romantic views, you do need to interrogate them a bit at some point. Especially if the fantasy is going to be the foundation for your political viewpoint.
A politics defined by a 20-something wife covered in Forever Four-Year-Olds isn’t rational. A politics of eternal youth is… not going to end well.
It’s a fantasy for sure, I just thought calling it a fetish was a bit weird
All Politics is Sexual Pathology, or so I’ve heard it said.
But, in this case, the thing that really throws me is the idea of people being Forever Young. The parents never get older. The kids stop maturing at the toddler stage. I can half see that mom being pregnant into eternity. Just never giving birth, because the imagery of pregnancy is what the patriarchal artist is truly fixated on.
Kid on the bottom right has a backwards hand; thumb on the wrong side. Also a ridiculously long arm. Kid on Dad’s lap is a Kuato growing out of his leg.
He wants a baby making machine who is capable of dressing nicely and putting on makeup despite being heavily pregnant on top of taking care of 6 children all of whom are in the baby and toddler phase?
None of who appear to be theirs.
Guy’s outfit and haircut would look good on a lesbian (sincere)
Definitely. It seems to be a fairly common style recently in my area. I’m a mostly-straight woman, but I like it. I’ve definitely found myself attracted to the occasional lesbian.
Oh, but it isn’t a fetish! It’s the command of God! They have to push out as many children as possible, because the Creator wishes for us to cover every inch of this planet, and they need a holy army to fight the demons Satan sends against us! And the women need to be pretty and subservient because Gods a man and He loves the good, pretty ladies.
(I have heard this bullshit so many fucking times, with so many reasons why this is their gods plan.)
They have to hold that view! How else would a guy like that get sex once every nine months?
Marital rape.
Oh, wait, so much of it already is “I was raised to perform my womanly duties, no matter my feelings”.
Sorry, this is a personal sore point, not trying to go off on you.
No no, you’re absolutely right. I’ve seen a good deal of that too in the culture I was raised in.
Wow what a list. Charlie Chaplin was a surprise!
Gotta keep that labor pool large so wages can stay low.
I didn’t know that weak pull out game was a political view
“What sort of minimum wage would we need so an honest blue collar working man can take care of a family of ten and restore our society to the good ol days? Oh…ok… well let’s just ignore that part.”
obviously only people who are capable of
inheriting 2 million dollarspull themselves up by their bootstraps deserve a big family
My grandfather is 91, and we were talking about his family when he was a kid. This picture is how many siblings he had.
His father would come home every ten months and then leave a few days later.This picture is not a healthy family.
It’s the turning point of modern medicine keeping too many backup kids alive.
He probably had 3 other families too lol
He did have at least one other family, yep. Good call. They even tried to connect years ago, but it didn’t work out.
Thankfully my grandfather and his brothers and sisters came out as good people. Most of them are still alive too.
Why are all kids blonde? I’m just saying maybe this guy married this poor single lady with a little league project or maybe this is one of those oliver twist situations.
White kids are often blonde even if they won’t be as adults. All mine were at least for awhile, all have medium or dark brown hair now. All born with blue eyes too, but half changed to brown later. Not sure why, but it’s normal.
Yep. I was bleach blonde for years. Starting switching from blonde to brown gradually around age eight or nine. Dark brown now.
a little league project
Do they even make baseball gloves for AI hands?
The broodmare must keep producing! We must push back the invasion!
Ai alert ai alert 🚨
Their fantasy is seeing a barefoot and pregnant woman washing dishes and who’s never had an orgasm.
Serving her family is orgasm enough!
You can’t be a good dad or mom with 12 kids I don’t care what anyone says
I went to high school with a girl who was I think #6 of 12. And yeah she was raised by siblings and raised siblings herself. It was actually somewhat similar to what my girlfriend experienced having a deadbeat mom and imprisoned dad.
At some point, the older kids are providing child care for the younger ones. But also, its very “infinite economic growth thanks to our ever-expanding frontier” understanding of the family dynamic. As soon as all your neighbors start to copy you, and families start bumping up against one another in their effort to cannibalize the surrounding wilderness, you get conflict. Expand far enough, and the conflicts become things of history - even of legend. The War of the Roses. The French and Indian Wars. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Gaza Genocide.
This is a family style game of The Tragedy of the Commons.
At some point, the older kids are providing child care for the younger ones.
Which is called parentification and usually seen as a form of child abuse.
It is rampant in China
It sounds like some kind of ponzi scheme on the fabric of society
frankly it’s difficult to be good parents with one child, humans are not meant to raise even a single kid with only 2 parents. We’re meant to have communities that share the load of raising all the children, we’re not birds for christ’s sake.
