Well, this thread is really quite worthy of the term ‘mega’.

Why is it in this subreddit anyways ?

This thread is typically either people emotionally scarred by their parents venting, or people arguing spanking is a valid parenting tool cuz they got hit as a kid and turned out fine.

Parenting is one of the few topics that can cause a lot of arguments that isn’t politics or religion related.

Probably bc if it wasn't, plenty of people would be advocating for child abuse to "discipline" their kids in the main subreddit.

Yeah, the “i got hit as a kid and i turned out fine” (spoiler: they were not fine) type of posts used to be a big problem.

You would think that they would be self-aware enough to realize that the sole fact of them arguing with internet randos that beating kids is a-ok is proof enough that they did not turn alright.
