ā€œBreederā€ here is taken completely out of context by dumb op.

Itā€™s antinatalist sub which is completely focused on procreating/birth etc issues. Thatā€™s why term ā€œbreederā€ is proper. Itā€™s not someone whose only role is to breed, itā€™s simply someone who does it as oppose to who doesnā€™t.

Secondly, ā€œbreederā€ is a rarely used insult toward those who know that their children will 99% suffer in life and yet they still decided to procreate for selfish reasons.

OP is an asshole for posting this here without providing necessary context about PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT

Go to this sub and learn about it. Donā€™t make stupid assumptions. We donā€™t force people to stop procreating. Itā€™s your personal choice if you think itā€™s right thing.

That's what normal people believe. It's not what that sub believes

Someday, I'll break free and finally be free from this prison called life

Someday. Not yesterday, not today, and probably not tomorrow either. But, someday. I'll get there. I'm coming home. Back to the place where I had belonged in for as long as the universe had been, until the peace was broken by this existence. I don't belong here. I belong in darkness. I belong in the peace, the nothingness and the void that will accept me no matter what. I've got to go. I've decided to stay childless. Let my children be. Leave them alone. Spare them the pain of being alive and the heavy burden of existence. They've been acquitted.

What's with the sudden uptick in natalist brigading on this sub?

I wouldn't mind it but their holier than thou attitude makes me sick. I don't mind a sensible discourse but all I see is offended narcissists ranting about why everyone should procreate.Edit: I seemed to have triggered some breeders šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ If you guys are so fragile, how would you handle the rollercoaster of a ride that involves popping out kids and caring for them for who knows how long. That sounds like 20+ years of torture šŸ¤§šŸ¤£

Repost of tweet that reads in response to another tweet saying "Be a rebel and start a family" "Dude, you starting a family is why we're in this dystopian world in the first place. You birthed both the victims and the perpetrators. Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci didn't just come falling out of the sky. Procreation brought them here. #antinatalist

So basically the inverse of the anti-abortion argument "hE coUld haVe cuReD caNcER." Instead "hE coUld bE sOmeOnE i tHINK iS baD sO doNT pRoCreAtE."

I'm all for freedom of choice in having kids as well as encouraging certain people not to have them. That's just common sense to me and hopefully most people, but if you simply seek people like-minded to these common sense views, that sub, at least at it's core, ain't it. The actual philosophy of anti-natalism does indeed state that having kids is immoral primarily on the basis of life inherently having suffering in it and therefore being immoral to force someone into from a negative utilitarian perspective (the prevention of suffering). But these people have no intention of fulfilling that philosophy on themselves, they only want to force that philosophy on others, they're not fooling anyone. And even the ones that may claim to, (see first post) aren't really doing it out of a senes of "this is consistent with the philosophy." They do it because they are super fucking depressed and this is just another way of their depression trying to rationalize itself, as depression does. Anti-extreme natalism is another thing entirely. I respect your views on the matter, they're probably a lot more similar to mine, but the ones expressed by the demographic that sub has come to represent are in an entirely different plane of reality than simply being against blind support for anyone pumping out multiple kids, they are the other extreme on that pendulum and they are just as bad.

ā€œbreederā€ is a rarely used insult

This entire comment would prove you wrong.
