Honestly, I'm extremely disappointed. This reversion - regression - is arbitrary and paranoid. Every -single- fic I was following has been 'closed for review'.
Someone send me a PM when a new mpreg forum pops up that allows such content, please? Because it's going to happen, and it's going to draw members away from here, and while I'll stick around here no matter what on account of the community and introductions/RP threads... how long until mentioning a preference for ageplay or the fact that, sometimes, oh god, I RP as an anthro, because I'm a furry, gets my RP profile locked for review, or...?
There's no sane world in which the 'legality' of porny mpreg fanfiction would wind up seriously coming into play. Some of the admins are uncomfortable about the sexuality of mpreg. I understand this. Trying to decouple 'furry' from 'sex-obsessed perverted kinkfiend' in the public eye is almost an insurmountable difficulty, and furriness isn't even intimately tied to sexuality like ideas concerning pregnancy inevitably are. Pregnancy is the result of having sex, in almost all cases; of -course- it's going to be heavily sexualised. The only way to handle this consistently would be to wipe out the boards entirely, remove all the RP threads - because RP is just cybering at about the same ratio as mpreg art and fiction is porn, let's face it - remove all stories and artwork, and have a discussion forum with strict PG-13 enforced rules. Either that, or allow things to continue as they've been going for the last several /years/, and be comfortable with the fact that mpreg, for many if not most of its fans, is a strongly sexualised idea and one that doesn't necessarily conform to completely arbitrary laws about the age of consent.
I'd like to see the exact legal clause that states and stipulates whatever it is that you're actually worried about happening, because I haven't seen it; just a lot of hand-wringing about "what if the FBI busts us for having some erotic fiction about two brothers boinking", despite the fact that there are sites where you /pay/ for that kind of thing - thus, Commerce clauses could factor in, etc. - that haven't been remotely threatened with legal action. I don't think this is the result of rational concern whatsoever, as opposed to moral disgust or, more forgivably, paranoia on the part of some of the moderators, and given the sweeping effect this has already had on the extant fics, I think is something that should have been subject to a much more open, honest, visible debate.
