So you and all the other's in this thread who have been actively insulting and angry and putting words like 'eugenics' in our mouths to shut us down, and calling us stupid, mentally ill, edgelords and psychopaths etc.

You don't think you've been overriding our views as members of the autistic community? Or claiming we are wrong and dangerously mentally unsound for holding them? And you haven't seen anyone advocating for this topic to be banned on social media so we can no longer discuss it?...

Your opinion that autistic people with antinatalist views are advocating eugenics, is so full of logical fallacies I felt like a dick writing them all out (I can put them back if you want tho, I'm just trying not to be too offensive here).

Most people who hear about antinatalism assume stupid shit and get angry and start with the character insults and accusations of racism and eugenics, and about how antinatalism means wanting to mass murder and segregate society.

And most people, like you, refuse to listen when it's explained.

Antinatalists are individuals who have independantly chosen not to procreate for the shared ethical reason of reducing suffering.

I doubt most antinatalists are even aware of the term, they're just people who have looked at the world around them and chosen not to add to it because it's awful.

And yeah, as a person with basic empathy It's really hard to look at the world and not feel sad when you learn people willingly procreate with debilitating hereditary conditions and are knowingly bringing potential suffering into the world for purely selfish reasons.

This is not a world ANYONE should be looking at and wanting to bring more life into, autistic or not.

Talking about it being upsetting and unethical isn't advocating for eugenics.

Antinatalists, autistic or otherwise, aren't forcing anyone to do anything, and talking about our feelings isn't hurting anyone unless folk like you decide to assume nasty shit about us and be rude.

Antinatalists having this conversation somewhere you can see it, are not some eugenist plot to harm people with a sterility causing memetic virus, nor is it some wild attempt at converting the masses into ''"genetic purity"" by forcing idiots like you to call us names because you won't fucking read what we're even actually saying but you're convinced we're evil.

I genuinely doubt most antinatalists even really talk about this anywhere but online in antinatalist spaces, and when it comes up on other forums like it has here. It's not exactly light conversation to have irl when most people react like they have here, or worse.

.

And forgive me if this is a false equivalency but if you believe antinatalism is stupid and we're all crazy eugenicists for not passing down our suffering, but apparently don't believe we should instead be popping out kids like bunnies and gurning about how great everything is,
what do you want from us instead then?

To just not fucking talk about it?

(Sorry, I failed at not being offensive. I'm too tired to care much right now though tbh but if it's any consolation, it's really not personal, I'm just tired, hate most people, and trying to finish this before i go to bed)
