| I was very struck. | |
| I always am struck when these TikTok trends take off. | |
| I'm really struck by what people are willing to do for attention, the stories that they want to tell. | |
| And yes, this father is being held as a hero. | |
| He's 20 years old, and he's showing everybody and talking about how he got a vasectomy. | |
| You guys, take a listen. | |
| I got a vasectomy at 20 years old. | |
| Hi, I'm Tristan. I'm 21. | |
| And I got a vasectomy. This decision is ridiculous, but I have my reasonings and I stand by them completely. | |
| And here they are. Coming in at number one, I already have a kid. | |
| Kind of ridiculous to already have one kid at 21. | |
| Arguably irresponsible. | |
| Reason number two, kind of weird, kind of... | |
| My wife is really firm. | |
| It's just like genetic. Her sister has four babies. | |
| They're awesome. I love them so much. | |
| But they were all accident. I'm also just trying to think about the future financially. | |
| I live in my parents' basement right now. | |
| I don't think it's a very good decision to have two kids while you live in your parents' basement. | |
| So all that in mind, I got a vasectomy. | |
| I think it's reversible, but also I've seen online that it's... | |
| So much happening there, guys. | |
| Just so much happening. | |
| First and foremost, just admitting that he doesn't even know if it's reversible. | |
| He's like, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to have children again. | |
| I didn't even think to ask the doctor the question. | |
| But hey, I'm holding a microphone. It's on TikTok, and I look pretty cool, and I've got millions of views. | |
| So isn't that enough? Why ask the doctor any questions? | |
| Also, when he remarks that the reason he did this, one of the many brilliant reasons that he did it is because his wife is like super fertile, and it's like genetic. | |
| Nobody, you guys are 20 years old. | |
| Your wife is in her prime. | |
| All women are supposed to be super fertile when they are that young. | |
| There's nothing genetically wrong or unique about your wife. | |
| That's just called basic biology. | |
| And apparently you missed that class. | |
| I'll tell you what's really alarming about this. | |
| First and foremost is the faculty's being hailed as a hero that we are seeing more and more | |
| that people that do not have their brains developed, because at the age of 20, | |
| your brain is not fully developed, are basically making an argument for sterilization | |
| one way or the other. | |
| I think sterilization is now becoming a trend. | |
| Last year, we showed you a video of a woman who put her fallopian tubes in a necklace for TikTok | |
| and was like, now I never have to worry about having a baby. | |
| This is more or less that exact same trend. | |
| And the fact that the media is rushing to encourage it, something about it feels quite sinister. | |
| Again, he has no idea what he's doing. | |
| He has no idea what it means long-term for him. | |
| This is about getting attention. | |
| Now, saying that he wasn't prepared to have children, great. | |
| That's a great conversation to have. | |
| Could he be a voice for talking about how difficult it might have been for him, how difficult it is for him because he lives in his parents' basement? | |
| Absolutely. But trying to pretend that the average 20-year-old should be pursuing a vasectomy as an act of heroism? | |
| Absolutely flawed. Positively flawed. | |
| And again, something that I believe is intentionally being promoted in this society, which is why I wanted to point it out. | |
| These kids know nothing and get attention for doing things that are absolutely senseless. | |
| Hey guys, if you like this video, you will definitely like the full episode even better. |
