Why does every other forum treat formula feeding like a felony sentence? PS. Thank you guys for being basically saving my life

A while back I had posted about advice on formula feeding from birth in different subs(that shall not be named to avoid being banned) ? I didn't even "undermine" breastfeeding in anyway.
Why is a mother not wanting to breastfeed seen as sooo taboo?
It's like we're only allowed to use formula of we suffer enough before.

I want to tell all moms that we are allowed to shamelessly, unapologetically and dare I say even proudly use formula for whatever reason.

Formula Feeders is the only online forum I could turn to.

Even Instagram is full of lactivists.

I'm sooooo soooooo glad I found this place and I can't thank you enough. I went from pregnant and an anxious mess to confident about my choice to Exclusively formula feed.

For soo long, I felt something was wrong with me that somehow I didn't even deserve to be a mom because I saw nobody, zero people discussing formula in a non apologetic lens.

Thank you guys for liberating my mind.
