Why would you think that supporting one's child/ren is "unconstitutional"?
To my knowledge there have been no such rulings by SOCUS.

There hasn't been such a ruling, but people who fall down the Sovereign Citizen rabbit hole tend to gravitate toward silly things such as this.

Yes, the Supreme Court has ruled that certain child support statutes are unconstitutional, specifically those that infringe on the rights of noncustodial parents to choose whether to support their children.
This ruling invalidated federal and state provisions that mandated penalties for non-payment of child support, emphasizing personal choice and autonomy in family matters.

Of course not. While it's not clear whether you're talking about the U.S. Supreme Court or the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the very notion is patently absurd.

How to say you're an irresponsible sperm producer without saying you're an irresponsible sperm producer.
There are ways to minimize one's child support obligation:
1) Reliable birth control. (I'm including having no sex at all in this category.)
2) Snip snip - get a vasectomy. (Continue to use condoms.)
3) Make sure the rare women willing to have sex with you EITHER have a simp lined up willing to become the legal parent OR put the kid up for adoption.

Who should be responsible to support your children if not the two people who created them? Why are there so many deadbeat douchebags looking to avoid their obligations to their children out there? Yuck.

The U.S. Supreme Court has never held that child support is unconstitutional. For the most part child support is a matter of state law rather than federal law. The Constitution does not directly address child support and federal law only has programs that aid states in collecting child support owed. As a result federal courts don't set out what amount of child support is appropriate. In general the Supreme Court only gets involved if the child support law or the state court went well beyond the recognized principles that underlies child support to the point that it violates the constitutional rights of the parent having to pay it. In short, child support itself doesn't violate the constitution. But how the state sets up the child support system or the way the judge applied the rules might violate the constitution. It's been long recognized in the history of our Republic that both parents have the obligation to support their children. The Court isn't going to change that bedrock principle now.
