Is there a name for this position? I feel like my position is pretty neutral, but pushing back against natalists gets you labeled as anti-baby or anti-procreation, kind of like how pushing back against white/black supremacist rhetoric gets you slapped with the anti-white/black label, as happens in kneejerk reactions to pushback on any number of other hot topics. It's like there's no room for views other than the most extreme.
I'm not even against policy that makes childrearing easier, like tax benefits or work leave. If you decide to have a kid you should get support. What I'm against is the promotion of the idea that having a baby is some magic precious gift to the world, or the solution to your marriage/financial/social problems, or the implication that people who don't want kids are missing out, or that it's your patriotic duty to reproduce, or having kids in some wacky effort to make your contribution to a religion/race war, or that abortion is somehow anti-natalist and should be opposed on those grounds. Fucking regarded. "But babies are good for the economy" ok sure, then vote for financial benefits, but don't complain when the younger generation rightfully calls you out when they realize they were created specifically to prop up your economy.
