Venting Procreation is a Bad Idea

[Eudaimonic]

No it doesn't

there is no pleasure that could equal that pain of being raped, tortured and murdered.

i would go so far as to argue that if there was a perfect city (literally a utopia) but for it to stay that way then every year one child has to be raped tortured and murdered, then the responsible thing to do would be to leave the city and never look back.

The pleasure of a thousand does nothing with the pain of a single one.

You're kidding, right?
As if the one who escapes won't still be traumatized?

Of course I'm kidding. Damn, some people cant understand sarcasm.

I have 3 kids & am grateful for them all.
They are pretty happy & more well adjusted to life than I'll ever be. I have zero regrets of having children

Always great to meet a fellow Ligotti fan! Even if just online.

Sorry some of us are going to not understand sarcasm with being neurodivergent and also that this is just text. Sarcasm is mostly conveyed through tone of voice which we obviously can't hear through just text. Use tone indicators if you want to make sure people understand what you mean when saying something.

I know this is just meant to be a meme but I feel it's a good opportunity to mention that anti-natalism does not oppose adoption. It simply opposes creating new life, not taking care of those who have already been born.
