I’m not saying we should kill people, I’m saying making more is wrong.

It is a nonconsensual act whereupon you are forcing life and all its travesty onto another being, when they were perfectly fine not existing.

Call me insane if you want, I couldn’t care less. Humans are a plague upon both other humans and this planet as a whole, and bringing someone else into the world to be both a victim and perpetrator of the issue is wrong.

Dude if people really have such a problem with life, they can in fact opt out of it at pretty much any point down the line.

And we do, frequently. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for autistic people.

So where does birth rank as the leading cause of death?
