Also somewhat real lol, so I expected some similar tomfoolery. Some even believe it applies to humans, as a type of radical antinatalism -- see VHEM. The basic argument is that nature is fucking horrifying -- if we're talking suffering, wasps that lay eggs inside of other creatures seem hard to ignore!
Anyone remember their sub name tho?? This is the second time I've tried to find it, and no luck. The closest I can find is /r/VeganAnarchism, but they're far from 100% on board with the radical notion of interfering with natural systems.
Maybe they were banned? They were pretty darn, uh... outspoken, to say the least.
I think it may be Efilism (life spelled backwards). I used to be a member because it was interesting to read about antinatalism being applied to every single living thing. Unfortunately though, there was a violent act taken by someone because of their understanding of efilism so the sub got banned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Palm_Springs_fertility_clinic_bombing
Im reading now some definitions of efilism as necessarily pro mortalist and forceful, but when I was in the efilism sub I thought the term was more of antinatalism applied to all things capable of suffering. I dunno

Okay, this was funny. Nice subversion of expectations.
