Would pro-suicide and general anti-natalist posts be covered by this?

Suggesting that specific people commit suicide, obviously yes. People in general... maybe no.

I am not going to explain why, but although death of all people technically includes the death of any specific person X.Y., saying "X.Y. should die" sounds worse than saying "all humans should die".
