What do you think of antinatalism? (feddit.de)

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.

The way the wiki article reads is that its not just a personal philosophy ("belief that procreation is immoral"), which I would say is pretty stupid. If it's on an individual basis, then absolutely reasonable.

I can't even begin to think about having a kid and don't know if I ever will.
