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.
What's eugenics gotta do with it?
/gen is this sarcasm or are you not aware that you answered your question with your second sentence :(
Check my other reply.
That’s 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, it’s 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
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.

I meant that in a 'no woman would want me' way and not in 'I don't want to propagate my genes' way.
