If you read this thread I'd argue there are more people shaming people for their choice of having children (as you appear to do) than otherwise. Basically everyone here who has a kid argues "to each their own" while half of the child free people argue "you're a selfish idiot if you have kids". One dude literally called children an STD. Another one calls it a mental illness.This isn't even subtly shaming.
Yeah and you're talking about probably less than 50% of 2% of the population. Just because you see the sentiment does it make it prominent. Shaming people for not having kids is so common you could have it happen to you and barely notice it because you're so used to it.
