Hey, no worries! I appreciate the accommodation! If this turns out to be an unpopular decision with the community, I will withdraw. Thanks!

For context, I'm uncomfortable with working with anyone for my game idea, and I don't have the time or the skill to make the art that it would need. Would it be acceptable to submit a game that uses AI-generated artwork and declare it as such? I'm happy to opt out of prizes/ranking, but I'd still love to participate in the jam. Thanks.
Same here. I download the Windows version and launched it with this and it worked: https://github.com/m5kro/RPG-Maker-MacOS-Launcher
I was preparing to submit an entry for this jam and I was really looking forward to participating for the first time, but following this announcement I have decided to withdraw.
I really respect the Jam hosts' willingness to listen to the community and for taking steps to try to be inclusive. I genuinely wish every entrant well for this competition regardless of what you're submitting. I just want to speak up because there are two sides to this and neither are wrong or bad.
Personally, I think it's OK to have a jam where only female pregnancy is allowed. It's May-ternity, after all. Every jam needs rules, every jam requires submission criteria, and criteria are exclusive, naturally. Because otherwise people could submit whatever they want and then it just dilutes the entire purpose of having a theme.
One more thing, and this is to the jury: It's OK to like something and not like something else. We all have preferences. We all have yes/no kink lists. If you don't like meatloaf, then don't allow people to force you to eat meatloaf. You may politely decline and offer the meatloaf to someone else.
