kalo mpreg kamu yay/nay

As a reader, I’m totally in between, but I haven’t found any mpreg fics that suits my liking as all of them (that I’ve found so far) are somewhat strongly linked to omegaverse; a subgenre that I’m not familiar with and I have never been able to get myself interested in because I fail to grasp the idea of secondary gender and how it applies to life.

(An even more controversial take: again, in works that I’ve found so far, I just couldn’t see how the secondary gender system differs from the actual gender system in reality, and some stories made me feel as if they’re only using the omegaverse system solely so that they can make men pregnant (WHICH is not a bad thing to do but it’s just not my cuppa tea), some also use it to craft a reality with classism, oppression, and gender inequality (WHICH is actually my cup of tea, but a lot of people just took it as a chance to make a toxicly soapy and dramatic dom-sub dynamics WHICH is totally my pet peeve...), so it clearly is one of my least-favorite subgenre to explore... Sorry to disappoint...)

Another (even more personal reason) being my own preference to go child-free (at least for now), that consuming anything that is pregnancy-related (or even marriage life-related) contents seems to be unflattering...? Idk if it’s the right word but I just can’t get myself invested in it no matter what the gender is. But still, there’s always a room for exceptions, so if there’s any mpreg or omegaverse fics that could interest me, then so be it!

As a writer, however, it is a strict, unnegotiable no. I’m the kind of person who would only write something related to myself or things that I’m familliar with, and that clearly does not include pregnancy. I have never lived with a pregnant person, nor do I have ever known how the daily life of a pregnant person would look like, and I’m just too uninterested to do a research on it. Hope that answers your question! 😁
