It's not bullshit, just too too easy.

The ideas surrounding Antinatalist thought may have some merit, but this doesn't need an Antinatalist position, just a heightened awareness that being born can sometimes suck, that going through life can often be a gruesome experience, and that this is exacerbated by there being more people.

Antinatalism is a monolithic reminder of this and proposes nothing to solve it since its solution is impractical. For instance, shockingly enough, some people who are born and go through life are actually happily attached to living, even if they live otherwise shitty lives.

That said, antinatalism posits that the challenge of happiness is an insurmountable obstacle unless there are less people around, and this just isn't true. More over, it's utterly detrimental.
