Man, the list of people I hate today is so long. I'm ready to drop the bomb on mankind, because at least then the rape jokes would stop.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Oh, you know, the Kickstarter thing, the Lara Croft rape thing, the Michigan vagina thing...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Most of the people I've seen describe their liking of MPREG have said they have a body horror appreciation of it. But these were not people who described it as a kink, just as a narrative interest. Not sure how different those two groups are.

Oh, yes. Don't read the comments on the Wired article about the Kickstarter thing. It's very depressing. And just from an intellectual perspective, I am astonished at how little any of these people learned from their Sociology 101 classes...

And here, how about this? Salma Hayek is such a cow that this magazine clearly had to Photoshop her on the cover. Now she looks like her waist is only slightly bigger than her neck.

Because books.
MPREG sometimes seem like an anvilicious gender definition of the victim. As in, "I want these two pretty boys together, but I want to make sure everyone knows I think X should be the feminine partner."
Hustle is in its sixth season, for real? I thought that show just started. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong one -- is this Kristin Bell and Don Cheadle?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's House of Lies. Hustle is British, and I didn't know it was still on...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Does anyone here like MPREG? Do you feel it's the same psychology as the forced/alien impregnation trope where the victim is female?
I'm either having a hard time figuring out how a man being *able* to get pregnant is comparable to *forcing* a woman into pregnancy or ... no, that's precisely where I have a hard time. Unless it is forced MPREG. But then the emphasis should be on the forced, not the M of the preg.
People disappoint me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Boston (and surrounding environs) gets a lot of shittalk about bad driving but people there drive with PURPOSE. We just get agitated if you don't have a plan too. Really, a lot agitated. And turn signals, you can't put those on until just before you turn, because it's a sign of weakness and you are GIVING YOUR WHOLE STRATEGY AWAY.
Conversely I find that driving in New Orleans merely results in me being royally pissed off, whereas Boston scared me out of ever driving there again and I white knuckle it as a passenger in anything smaller than a bus.
