Why are antinatalists such ardent advocates of a way of life which seeks to end life?
Their nihilism should be in conflict with the act of advocacy itself, but they obviously care too much to abandon.
Why are they so set on convincing me not to procreate?
They themselves must be afraid of something, most likely death itself or more relatable, pain.
So they're afraid I'll experience hardships or simply pain?
That seems like both a very reductionist take, reducing existence to its worst, as well as too empathetic for an idea characterised by its intrinsic nihilism.

I deem this philosophy a combination of intimacy problems (fear of impregnation and birthing), fear of death and pain, hyper empathy (the convincing of others to accept the dogma) and of course the ever present disregard for physical health associated and partially responsible in facilitating said pathology.
