I think it’s stupid and worrying that their ideas are gaining traction.

I am not opposed to people not having children or representing themselves as a block, but the idea that having kids is bad is just plain dumb.

My own experience in life makes it reek a lot like mental health issues in those who are antinatalists.

    I think that this kind of philosophy leads to very weird conclusions, that’s why I abstain from it.

      I’m not certain which side you are falling on? Anti-Natalism leads to weird conclusions, or my thinking leads to weird conclusions?

      The reality is that they BOTH do, so that shouldn’t be used as a basis for making that decision.

        Although some people may turn out to be happy, this is not guaranteed, so to procreate is to gamble with another person’s suffering without their consent.

        Therefore it is immoral to create life.
