For the record, 'paedophilia' refers to 'primary or exclusive sexual interest towards prepubescent children'.
i.e., people who, categorically and literally, cannot even be pregnant in the first place because puberty is the onset of sexual maturity.
If there were a rule against paedophiliac mpreg, I think it would do nothing other than drastically increase the quality and internal consistency of our fiction, because a prepubescent character being pregnant makes no sense! I haven't actually read anything like that here, though (and if I did, I'd honestly be really squicked out.)
An mpreg community literally cannot consistently be a porn site catering to paedophiles, though. It is /literally impossible/.
I guess 'hebophiles' or 'ephebophiles' would be the word you might be looking for, but those don't really have the same tinge of moral panic to them, so I understand why the fallback to the incorrect terminology. It's important to be precise, though!
I respect Lyric's capacity as site moderator - and I thank him for all the hard work he's done. I just don't want it to go to waste, and I don't feel like "porn is bad, but only some porn" is a coherent or consistent stance, and I'm worried that predicating the rules on an inconsistent stance could jeopardise the hard work he's put into making sure this forum has a place to be. I've been a site admin and a community leader myself, and I valued dissent - even dissent I disagreed with, even dissent I ultimately decided was not useful or helpful. It's entirely his call; I know I wouldn't be able to put forth the time and effort he has. Honestly, if he openly admitted that he made the rules based on what he was and was not personally comfortable with or disgusted by, I'd respect that too - because, hell, it's where I'd draw the line if I were site admin, when it comes down to it, I'd just draw it at a slightly different place, contingent upon site precedent and my own rather different preferences and comfort zones.
I'd like to see clarification of the bestiality rule, and in an ideal world I don't see why the incest rule is necessary, nor do I see why the 'anti-pedophilia' rule cuts out depiction of sexuality that's actually perfectly legal in most U.S. states and developed countries. If it's an anti-paedophilia rule, do what the rest of the internet does and put the cutoff point at puberty.
As a suggestion, are there any sites - like nifty, perhaps, although I don't think their specific policies would work for us - where people could post mpreg fiction that doesn't qualify according to the site's rules? It wouldn't kill me if no more fiction at all was ever posted to the fiction board, let alone if all fiction started there from now on was in accordance with the modified rules, but I'd very much like to see a few currently worked on pieces of fiction completed, even if I'd have to go offsite to do so.
Thanks for reading, and despite any differences we may have, or how sternly I might word them, I love and respect the work the mods have done and honestly do understand why you'd try to properly present the mpreg fanbase / community in a less porntacular light. It's a good idea, even if the devil's in the details.
