- Most respondents were between 18 and 25 (66.7%)
- A slight majority was of male gender (51.9%)
- Most respondents were white (55.6%)
- A relative majority identified as heterosexual (44.4%) but non-heterosexual respondents were in the majority by .1% when accumulated, this equals a sexual marginalisation rate of 44.5% in the sample
- A relative majority was from the United States (29.6%), followed by the United Kingdom (25.9%)

Antinatalism-related:

How do your AN beliefs influence your everyday life? (Survey)

Hello, fellow ANs, I was thinking that perhaps it would be interesting to learn how everyone here came to antinatalism, what our backgrounds are, and how important our beliefs are in everyday life, and how they influence our views on other issues in life. I created this fully anonymous survey (no sign-in), and I would be very happy if some of you could take part. I would also share the results of the survey here on the sub with you.

No identifying information will be requested, and all questions are voluntary. Please only take part if you're at least 18, as this survey is designed for adults.

If this gets automatically removed, could any of the mods please review the survey and perhaps reinstate the post? That would be super nice, thank you:)

I’ve always been a huge fan of Marina and the Diamonds, but I only now realised how perfectly this song lines up with my antinatalist beliefs. It’s about the inherent violent nature of humans and all the suffering coming with existence. It’s like my personal antinatalist anthem.

It also questions how humans often only do what is built “into their DNA”, just like procreating.
