I think it's stupid and worrying that their ideas are gaining traction.

I am not opposed to people not having children or representing themselves as a block, but the idea that having kids is bad is just plain dumb.

My own experience in life makes it reek a lot like mental health issues in those who are antinatalists.

I think a lot of it is depression and loss of hope and think "why would you bring a kid into this mess?". I feel there's a lot of personal aversion to children that might feed into this too where someone generalizes their dislike of children into the idea that having babies is bad.
