      I've never been even remotely coy about being efilist, misotheistic, disbelieving in extraterrestrial life or against space exploration and yet whenever any of those things come up people are like "well, I never!" and promptly unfollow

      I think you might want to be careful with that word "efilism" Most of what you're talking about, even voluntary human extinction, still falls under what people call "antinatalism", even if it's strong antinatalism "Efilism" was coined to mean ideas too spicy for antinatalists

      Like, yes, "efilism" is in theory just a broad term for the philosophical idea that "the existence of life is outright negative", whereas "antinatalism" stops merely at the idea "lives that don't exist yet can't consent to being created"

      But in practice "efilism" is strongly associated with the idea of going past antinatalism to embracing policies that actually end life Like at the very least I would say an efilist is someone who's fully on board with pro-suicide arguments

      And, like, it's associated at the extreme end with stuff like that charity that pays people not to have kids -- and conversely with cutting welfare benefits for parents (If having kids is actively wrong then it's good to pay people not to do it and bad to pay people to do it)

          At the VERY extreme it's people saying stuff like if you have the courage of your convictions -- you still believe outright murder of sapient humans is wrong, but you think sapience shouldn't exist, but you're okay with killing sub-sapient animals -- then we should nuke the Earth

          I.e. if you think humans existing is *that* bad then VHEMT isn't sufficient After the last human voluntarily dies off, there is now no force preventing something like humans from evolving again by random chance
