I can't read any posts from antinatalism or antiwork without hearing Crawling by Linkin Park in my head. They just exude this butthurt teenager energy.

I always found it strange that antinatalists refuse to commit Minecraft, despite all their bitching that life is pure suffering and it'd have been better to never have been born. It's like they're all disingenuous cocksuckers.

That would do absolutely nothing to reverse having come into existence. I believe Schopenhauer went into this.

So forcing somebody to be born is one of the worst evils you can do, but at the same time once somebody is born they're not expected to do anything to best as possible reverse that evil? How convenient. Fucking continentalists...

Schopenhauer was very pro-suicide. He just thought that denying one's own will to live and basically fading away into nothingness was the better way to go, for some reason.

For other people maybe.

Which isn't quite suicide being optimal or actually fixing the "problem," such as it is. If the problem is having been born at all (the idea of Cioran), suicide doesn't fix it. There's no particular reason to do it if it just harms others without even fixing what is ultimately unfixable. Essentially, suicide is pointless and causes more harm than continuing to live.

I'll also note Schopenhauer lived to the age of 72 although he looked 92 when he died and the most miserable 92 year old son of a bitch of all time. I think he actually enjoyed making other people miserable too much ever to kill himself.

Because their dicks are bigger than all the tiny white pencil dicks. r/smalldickproblems isn't just a reddit forum about pathetic dongs - it's the cold harsh reality for white women. You want to get fucked but Tyrone is in prison for the next 60-80 years and you have to vomit at the thought of your Husband's shriveled limp noodle? Get a dog, no get 6 dogs. 2 for every hole. Problem solved.

I'm 99% sure you're trolling but this makes me wonder if a significant number of people earnestly believe that the prison system exists to prevent white guys from getting cucked by Kara Boga.

Most certainly.
White cucks and black supremacists share the same beliefs, both stem from an inferiority complex.

Sounds like enjoyable company, really.
I wonder what convinces them that they are above suicide, while us fools should of course bite the bullet as soon as is convenient.

I'm not sure "they" think that way. That's kind of what Schopenhauer did when he was confronted on the "well why don't you just kill yourself then" thing. I doubt redditeurs have gone into it that deeply. I know if I had a choice between being a redditor and killing myself, I'm loading explosive shotgun rounds.

I'd like to know on what grounds the AN crowd are valuing the state of non-existence so highly that merely dipping their toe into this universe is an unforgivable crime with no possible redress.

I love how demonizing their parents for birthing them, shaming their friends for having kids, trying to convince others to off themselves, and generally bringing the vibe of the room down with their antipathy for the value of life are all perfectly acceptable levels of harm. But denying the masses the joy that is their OWN existence? Why, that's a step too far.

I think the reason the AN crowd really irks me because they're like the joggers of this universe. Constantly bitching about how rough they have it here and how it was so much better before the came, and how the people who brought them here are all unforgivable monsters. But offer them a (9mm) ticket back and suddenly the excuses start and you dont have any buyers.

I think it was one of their mongoloid gurus that unironically said he could prove mathematically that life is suffering and we should end it.
Of course blissfully ignoring the fact that you can't apply mathematics to a concept so abstract as the enjoyement of life.
And the hipochrisy of still living after coming up with such a theory.
The irony of the fact that it almost sounds like a rick and morty plot point does not escape me, mind you.
These people are so tiresome honestly.

Well, like theodicy, the problem of evil, this is the obvious Achilles heel of the whole antinatalism thing. To the extent it isn't some nearly religious belief in the worthlessness of existence, it's an offshoot of utilitarianism, where the original precept is that existence itself is worthless and, more importantly, of negative value.

If you just go out and ask a million or so people whether they view their existence as being of negative value, I'm pretty sure the vast majority will look at you like you're nuts. Because you actually are nuts if you do that. So in the vast majority of cases, if you are about to jizz in some slut and knock her up, the resultant offspring will be okay with that result.

The tiny minority will grow up to be Schopenhauer. While this is a tragedy, it is not a good reason not to jizz in that slut.

I think my mistake, and it isn't the first time I've made it, is encountering the rebbit version of something and trying to defend the actual version of it as it exists in legitimate philosophy. Because almost all rebbit philosophy is REEEEEEE FUCK YOU DAD.

The whole thing makes a little more sense when you find out that some of the more vocal antinatalists, like Thomas Ligotti, suffer from the sort of chronic anhedonia that probably has a biochemical origin. When one's nervous system simply does not let one feel the kind of joy and happiness that most people get regular doses of, it's at least understandable that one would come to the conclusion that the pains and agonies of life far outweigh its insignificant and transient pleasures. And there's other antinatalist novelists I've read - Ann Sterzinger comes to mind in particular - whose worldview is really obviously entirely shaped by the fact that they're just an untreatable depressive. Imagine constantly looking at the world with the kind of awful, sinking cynicism you get when you're in your deepest blue funk. It's honestly a little heartwarming that some of them have any empathy for others left at all.

But those are the thoughtful, creative ones. Your average reddit antinatalist is just looking for a profound-seeming justification for the life of shallow hedonism they were already living.

I'm more or less in this boat myself. In my experience, existence is terrible, albeit rather funny. The amusement value is why I stick around. Just watching people try to get some pleasure out of this miserable existence, failing, and sliding down into absolute misery is as much fun as I'll ever have.

r/RoleReversal started drama over a picture of a small guy (Twitter, OnlyFans, Twitch) and his big girlfriend (Twitter, Onlyfans). The submission in question (Reddit, Removeddit):


The paedophilia discourse kicked off the moment it was posted:

The gal had posted before that the guy is actually older than she is:

The guy responded that he is in his twenties:

And got upset that people insinuated his girlfriend is a paedophile:


One person in particular was very adamant about this being paedo-bait:





The conclusion was predictable:


After this, the guy posted about this situation on Twitter:


The gal had a few choice words as well and repeated his story of how they met:



The end.
