=== Efilism ===
r/Efilism was a subreddit centered around the philosophy of '''EFILism''' (life spelled backwards), a radical extension of antinatalism that views all life as inherently harmful due to the suffering embedded in biological existence. Members discussed topics such as the ethics of reproduction, ecological extinction, and pessimistic takes on consciousness, often citing the ideas of controversial online figures such as Inmendham. The subreddit was ultimately banned on May 18, 2025 after being found in violation of Reddit's self-harm polices. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-19 |title=Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosion |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/reddit-bans-anti-natalists-palm-springs-explosion-rcna207677 |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=NBC News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-19 |title=Was ‘efilism’ the extreme ideology behind the Palm Springs fertility clinic bombing? |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/palm-springs-fertility-clinic-bombing-efilism-b2753937.html |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref>
