Which is griping about reproduction followed by trying to shame people when they don't take the same principled stand. And a quick visit over to the sub shows a few people taking principled stands for themselves and a whole lot blackpilled edgelord "I hate breeders" horseshit. And sure enough there's a different post on the top page ranting about parents with disabilities having kids. Which sounds like.... what?
The people that have hard opinions about reproduction are acting like eugenicists in that sub.
A philosophy is different from a Reddit page.

Truthy... very. ..
I think I just broke out in hives.
You are right, the reddit page is only a reflect of the people who follows it. Somehow r/Stoicism doesn't have post shaming, harassing people and promting eugenics.
first post on r/Stoicism today : "“It can only ruin your life if it ruins your character”, so what do you do if you compromise your character?" basically a philosphical question First post today on r/Antinatalism : "To think there are people in constant chronic pain and people still add more people to this torture" considering the right call about a particular neurological disease is to bully pregnant women
