    Thats extremely unhelpful and even harmful for many people

    Trigger warning: depression

    I personally have depression and have been through horrible things before I even turned 18. So yeah if you told me when I was 15 or 16 that eveyone around be would be significantly happier and better off with me not around I would genuenly consider jumping off a bridge.

      I definitely see your point, though I took this as an anti-natalist joke, not a refutation of “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

      I’m inclined to wonder at what point the arguments of anti-natalism must be weighed against the nihilistic implications on those already born?

      Me too, and I agree it would have had a negative effect when I was at a vulnerable stage way back then.

      Now that I’m a grisly old bastard, and a parent, I found it funny af.

      So, mixed feelings.
