I don't want to continue my bloodline because of looming threat of climate change.
And also cause I'm ugly and have self-esteem issues.

Thatās eugenics. Choosing not to reproduce for genetic reasons.
Choosing to not have kids yourself, for whatever reason, is definitely not eugenics. I don't even get how you'd come to this idea.
Yeah, I don't think you can really apply eugenics to yourself. It's more something that one exerts on others.
yes. and to be clear, itās not eugenics to make that choice yourself. problem starts as soon as it becomes about others though. seen far too many internet conversations go from
āi wonāt reproduceā to
āitās my responsibility not to reproduceā to
āitās our responsibility not to reproduceā to
āthe poor and disabled should be sterilized.ā
this post is already getting pretty damn close to step 3 right there. reddit was awful for this so i encourage us to just be aware when stuff like this comes up.
Alternately: choosing to reproduce for genetic reasons. Positive eugenics is still eugenics.
Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter human gene pools by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior.
Emphasis mine, though seems people rarely get called out for the latter.
I meant that in a 'no woman would want me' way and not in 'I don't want to propagate my genes' way.
