Online new-mother forums are an extremely special and extremely toxic outlier.
We know how heated normal online discourse can become over the most trivial things. Right?
Now, raise those stakes by orders of magnitude. Now, if you're wrong, it doesn't just mean you have a bad opinion about Rust or mechanical keyboards or Star Wars or whatever. No, being wrong means you are literally a bad parent, or will perhaps be perceived as one.
Oh, and on top of that? Everybody on those forums is stretched beyond their physical limits due to chronic sleep deprivation.
And they probably just chugged a bunch of coffee.
And there's a crying baby in the background.
Yeah.
I wouldn't draw conclusions about anything else in the world based on new-mother forums.
