    The conclusion of antinatalism seems to be a pessimistic extreme,

    I might suggest that this is good enough reason to not want to reproduce. If your own life has been shit, you wouldn’t want to inflict that on others.

      I’ve been there myself and i will always respect a choice people make for themselves, but they shouldn’t impose theirs onto others.

      I take great joy in providing my son a life free of the home life experiences that made my youth hell. It still remains to be seen how well he’ll avoid the pitfalls of social interaction I suffered through, but I do feel like I’m preparing him far better than I ever was.

        Pretty sad that providing a better life for children than we had is apparently a controversial opinion.
