How about the right to open loot boxes? Play gacha games? Play the lottery? Watch porn 24/7? Jerk off 24/7? Be childless? Be an alcoholic? Play games 24/7? Climb without a safety harness?

No, no, no, yes (with reservations) to the rest of them.

Well the internet is for porn, not gambling. But safety first, then teamwork so

The only one of those that I do is be childless, and I have to say I don't really get why that's in with the rest.

Because it's another one of those things that "your betters" think they control about your life, and with the attempted rollback of things like abortion rights in many places is very relevant. Also we're seeing news out of asian countries of fertility rates falling below 1 you should really expect the more authoritarian governments to say "Have a kid or have a problem" pretty soon.

The problem with ordering me to have kids is that I'm a man and I can't do that.

They can't order you to get pregnant, but they can order you to have children.
