FYI I’m still a girl.

I know the pregnancy fetish community is male dominated. I’ve been around for longer than some of you had a computer. It’s not so much to ask that you stop calling me a guy.
Anyone new to the site. The creator/artist is a female. The co-writer is a male.
Brought to you by my late night rage.
B-But there are no girls on the internet!
I kid, really. I know you are a girl. You’ve indeed been around the pregnant fetish community for years. I recognize you from waaaay back on PG-13.
That is rather fun to say in an MMO and watch females bristle at the accusation.
hun, dont sweat it. I’m a woman and i read this comic. its rocks. at first it was hard for me to understand the begining was a might choppy, but i kept reading and loved the idea of it:D i’m like danny. and the whole idea of this comic makes me happy inside:D so keep makin it:D its loved!
WAIT WHAT
I know you thought lyze was a girl. He’s just sneaky like that.
I honestly don’t much care what gender my artistic creators are… And was linked here through a banner ad with no idea what the comic was about – but I read through it and feel it is worthy of attention! 🙂 Thanks for the work you’ve put in that I am able to read free of charge :3
It only bothers me when people refer to me specifically as “he, him, his” etc. I think more often because people assume because my comic is about a male dominated fetish, I’m a man objectifying women. Or if they think I’m a kindred spirit, when I’m really not. Women (from my experience) enjoy the fetish for completely different reasons and ways than men.
I think it might be a bit more fair to acknowledge there’s both a male and female creator, but I do all the work. (Don’t tell Lyze.)
I read so many web based comics and novels that even if I knew everyone’s RL name instead of their screen name in many cases, I would still be guilty of misgendering often if I did not rely on simply referring to them as you, them, they or the author/creator/artist etc. Stick to gender neutral terms and avoid the foot-in-mouth disease. Believe me, sometimes there just is not enough seasonings to make foot tolerable. 😀
I’m not sure if this is sexist, but one of the big reasons I enjoy this comic is because I know you’re female. I’ve tried to read other pregnancy-related webcomics in the past, but was turned away by what felt like shallow objectification by the male creators, which gave me the heebies. As a woman who has struggled with both her weight and the idea of pregnancy, this comic, with its complex, self-aware characters who struggle with similar issues, makes me feel included instead of objectified. For whatever that’s worth. 🙂
It’s not sexist. It’s true. I know there’s a huge push on the internet for equality and everyone being sensitive about everything, but the sexes are different. Especially with entertainment. Men are visual. Women get more emotionally involved with the story.
