If anyone on here dares bring up that they have had, or are expecting, offspring, I'm going to go ham on them for daring to bring a creature into the world that can experience pain against it's will and dooming it to suffering and death.

Breeders can fuck off.

Bloodmouths: Meat tastes soooo good!

Breeders: The dopamine rush from interacting with a kinda clone of yourself feels soooo good!

      anti natalism really seems to just be depression: the ideology. most people are not depressed. being born isn't being dammed to suffer any more than it is being damned to experience joy! and for most people they experience more joy in their life than suffering.

        It's the "wake me up when there's full communism" meme, but for human existence. The ultimate grill pill.

      and it raises the question as to why the author hasn’t killed themselves to avoid further pain?

      Damn, can't believe you totally read the book in good faith and somehow didn't read the part where he addresses that exact problem. He's a deontologist, so he's categorically not a utilitarian, even. I don't think most people are actually intelligent enough to understand moral theory when they post shit like this all the time.
