    Are you blind? The first two panels show the female character pretentiously telling an adult male he’ll understand satisfaction when he “grows up” and has a child.

        “Dystopian fantasy”? It’s a god damn internet comic not a polemical essay on the ethical superiority of antinatalism. It ain’t that deep, bro.
