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.

    yeah, i’d say a lot of it is a very understandable but simultaneously extreme and reactionary response to the general… malaise the world is in. i won’t judge someone for not bringing life into this world–i’m not planning to do it either, lol–but i can’t agree with the premise that it’s immoral to do so, even if the conditions currently are quite bad. i think that can lead down some quite bad roads.
