A friendly message to all of those who advocate for human extinction:

You first.

If you want the rest of the world to take your crackpot ideology seriously, show a little bit of sincerity and just fucking kill yourself.

The question was a red herring to a sub-culture outside the social norms and the word emo has a negative connotation which puts forth a stereotype. But lets not argue over semantics to an irrelevant question.

I'll answer the question then.

No, I am not an emo. How can I prove this? You'll have to refute my argument.

Whatever though...

But.... the statement was based on a reasonable conclusion drawn from the fact that your entire post count has pretty much consisted of "Life is pointless and everthing should die".

If you think this is a positive outlook...........

And the question was just a question. I'm happy to accept your claim that you are not in fact an Emo(though they are quite cute) since you know your circumstances and I don't.

Though I would suspect that you are still a teenager caught in the throes of the usual self imposed"the world doesn't understand my pain" angst and suffering.

You may find the logical conclusion depressing, but it's the negation of discomfort that allows me to enjoy the pleasurable feelings that I experience, which would at least make me optimistic on a subjective level due to my psychological mechanisms. Are you sure you're not an emo yourself?

Do you not know the meaning of phased extinction? We're all going to die some day, does the thought of extinction frighten you?

By the time the human race is extinct, I'll be nothing but dust. Therefore, no.
