Brammers, you make me feel so out of the loop! I have no idea what the mpreg kerfuffle is about! I'm too bogged down in pretending to finish my severusbigbang.
I personally have no problems with mpreg because I am baby-crazy (yes, at my age. Alarming, isn't it? I think it's because a few of my friends are having babies and my mother worked in childcare so I've always been around kids). But anyway, most of it is poorly written so I don't tend to read it that often. If someone writes good mpreg, though, they are granted my eternal devotion. I like seeing characters with kids, even if they're adopted/foster/godchildren/from another marriage. Doesn't have to be mpreg!
Anyhoo, thanks for this post, I wish all of fandom thought more like you! It just seems so commonsense to not try and force your beliefs on other people but...well. We all know that doesn't always work out. :)
I'm with you on the avocado, too. Hate the stuff. One of my friends makes her kids (see? I'm surrounded by children) avocado, carrot, tuna and pasta bakes and I cannot bear to look at the stuff!
