Who is forcing you to eat the meatloaf? Mpreg games existing doesn’t affect you in any way. Previous maternity jams have had more without it bloating the entries. The majority of games will be fpreg like always and banning mpreg only serves to reduce the number of games overall rather than increase the number of fpreg games. The purpose of these jams is to “celebrate pregnancy in all its forms”. Jams are about letting creative people make things they are passionate about. Preferences are allowed and reasonable. You are within your right to not enjoy mpreg games and are allowed to ignore them to your hearts content. Their existence does nothing to you. I also do not enjoy mpreg, but I support creators making things they are passionate about.

I fail to see how having more games would be an issue. If you anticipate people being denied their passion as them compromising to a game you would enjoy more, you are sorely mistake. If the thing you were considering was banned, would you drop out or try and make a game anyway without that aspect? Considering your decision to participate hinged on something that doesn’t even affect your own game, I think you know the answer. Have your preference, that’s within your right. No one is making you play anyone else’s games. More games make jams better. I have participated in jams with over 1000 entries and more broad requirements than a preg jam with a theme. And that is not bloat. Every game makes a jam more fun.

I guess I’m just confused on your overall stance. How is more games a bad thing? Because in my mind more games is more games. It just gives me more options to find the ones I personally like. Previous preg jams also had mpreg allowed and they were a small portion of the overall entries. Do you think more fpreg games would’ve been made if mpreg was banned? Because that’s not correct and misunderstands the passion required to participate. Does the existence of mpreg games somehow affect you in some way not mentioned? Because, to me, my own passions and ideas exist regardless of what other people make or enjoy. What exactly is making you reconsider joining? This seems to not affect your ideas for a game in either way.
