Not that I’m really a fan of the genre, but a bumper sticker for philanthropic antinatalists:

Protect children — don’t have any.

  1. You can always sell a design on Cafepress or Zazzle. That would be interesting. I would definitely get one, although I would tape it to the inside of the window so it doesn’t get attacked.

    I will try to think of slogans that can be used.

  2. – Birth is the leading cause of death.

    – Life is a postpartum depression.

  3. *There is only one pro in ‘procreation’, yet so many cons in ‘conceiving’
    *Monkeys breed, humans adopt
    *Don’t have a child, this isn’t the wild.
    *Don’t have babies, they might get rabies.

    • I tried to keep to the main ideas of antinatalism. It’s hard to do in a short slogan…
      All of these should have a little foetus crossed out.

      * Life is an imposition
      not a choice

      * Stop breeding
      Start adopting
      (thanks to estnihil for that one)

      * Stop making babies
      Stop imposing on us

      * Thank you for not breeding

      * Keep the Earth healthy
      Stop breeding
      (this one’s for the ecologists, might be better for liberals)

  4. Here’s another one:
    Mankind is just a fancy form of cancer.

    Sadly, I do not have the skill necessary to draw a cancer cell with a monocle. ;P

    • The ways in which cancer cells look different from regular cells is (a) hard to capture in a cartoon, and (b) not going to be recognized by most people. Viruses are pretty easy to draw and pretty recognizable, however, so you could go with something akin to “life is a sexually transmitted disease”.

      • That’s fair, but I don’t think the underlying point is made as easily in that case… It basically reduces itself to “life is a disease,” which people are free to disagree with. It is however harder to disagree to the point that humans are a cancer on this planet.
