You're right on the money, anon. Children essentially exist because:
>I'm too lazy to try to make this world a better place, so let me have a kid - if they do so, I can take all the credit, pretending I somehow inspired them even if I was a deadbeat loser the entire time.
You can tell this is the primary rationale for your parents having you when they go "anon, why can't you be like your friend X whose parents actually had the money to raise them properly, enabling them to do Y?"
>I'm too lazy to clean my house up, so I'll just pop out a kid or two. They can mow my lawn, do my laundry, cook my dinners, and all that, and I can frame it as "teaching them life skills," but how to do a budget? How to fix a car? How to avoid toxic people? Nah, don't need to, I'm sure they'll learn that shit on their own.
>I need a legacy as I'm too lazy to do something like write a book or make music - no, I gotta have a kid I can live vicarously through!
This one becomes tragically funny when you look at serial killers and the like - I mean, imagine Dahmer's parents and how they likely couldn't show their face in public ever again.
>muh religion told me that I can't abort this rape baby, so I hope said baby doesn't mind knowing their whole lives that they weren't meant to be and the subsequent shame culture compelling them to accept they were after all because "muh reasons lol".
Simply put, >>17815 is right. Children are essentially vanity projects. The ultimate taboo in society isn't incest, pedophilia, or even anti-semitism. It's parental infallibility - you can literally do whatever you want to your kids, and they'll be forced to forgive and forget, no matter what.
