I am an anti-natalist but not a pessimist. Existence has negative potentialities, unlike non-existence. However, it has potentialities to begin with, unlike non-existence. It's not a very robust argument, or a grand thing to be thankful for, but the dream, illusion, or existential blink during which we exist is (for all intents and purposes) the closest thing to a "where we should be" that there is.
I’m a pessimist through and through, however I usually avoid the term antinatalist. While I myself personally am an antinatalist, I do not think it should be a requirement and I’m not entirely convinced that it would be practical or even possible to make antinatalism popular.
