Maybe my wording was a little extreme but I still don't think it's enough to just suggest contraception because obviously a lot of people (at the least the ones who didn't want kids yet still had them anyway), would have gone with that instead if they could have. People come up with pathetic excuses all the time not to use contraception like "it doesn't feel good to use it" or whatever but whatever the case, people still continue to get dragged into the world thanks to the shitty impulses and instincts that have predominated biology for billions of years.
Maybe I got overzealous in thinking that people here want to actually be part of the solution instead of pointing fingers and doing nothing else. There's really nothing wrong with that because it makes sense for many to put their own suffering first. I obviously did not mean to specifically target anyone here who believes in anti natalism. I also never though anyone here might actually believe in genocide, just that it can be interpreted that way by the same weak-willed people that make our lives miserable and they will probably use it as an excuse to make it even worse if they can. I also did not mean to make this site as a whole less of a safe space so for that I apologize if anyone really felt that way.
Maybe it's because I live in California but a lot of this hateful rhetoric against parents actually is pretty common around me so maybe that's why I'm sick of the way it's so commonly told. Most of the people I know in real life spewing hatred towards all parents aren't even anti natalist, they're just hypocrites complaining about how their parents' generation didn't do enough to provide for them as a whole when many people around my generation are still being just as selfish and excusing it by simply saying they should do something and then not really doing anything. I might have confused those people giving the same types of arguments for the ones I see here even if the people themselves are dissimilar. For this I apologize as well. If anything, these assholes I know who also hate their parents actually tend to still end up being pro-life (our definition of it) because they think it's cool to pretend to care about suicidal people when really they'd rather you die than call them on their bullshit.
When countries develop, their birth rates actually do decline because more and more people begin to realize they don't need to produce a future victim just to feel fulfilled. Unfortunately no amount of educating rationality and logic will be enough to fully eradicate this plight. I still think this does tie back to dna being the real issue here but I'm a hypocrite myself because I really have no answer for this. I really wish we could actually mobilize to do more than just complain at the wind and hope it changes but another reason I got so sick of seeing the cliche anti-natalist rhetoric from this site is because it eventually just gave me a breeding kink due to me being such a contrarian idiot and I hate that about myself more than anyone else.
