    The most irrational thing to me about this whole situation is why the fuck do so many people like creepy pictures of crying children

      Yeah, like holy shit do these people come home and relax to a picture of a crying child?

      “It was a tough days work, but at least this boy is still crying!”

      Probably a lot of different possibilities, frankly.

      • Unhappy childhood, so there’s a sense of familiarity.
      • Reminds them of a child or childhood friend they lost.
      • Maybe they work with kids, and it reminds them of what the kids’ lives would be like without them and similar support systems.
      • Maybe it just moves them in the artistic sense.
      • etc…
