As I've mentioned elsewhere before, one of my coworkers is actually into Mpreg. I'm sweating bullets typing this while HOLY SHIT GUYS HE'S LITERALLY RIGHT BEHIND ME! As such, I've been made aware of certain arguments like the one tiny prancer and count_actuala put forth, where the "fetish" is actually more of a twist on parental desires and the want to have a more emotional connection with your offspring. And I can totally understand it for what it is. I've also been -uncomfortably- made aware on a few occasions about the sexual portion of said fetish, but I never let it linger in my mind long enough to make sense of it.
When the fact that this episode was being leaked was revealed, my coworker happened to be glancing over my shoulder and got wind of it. Since I've played a few episodes at work, he knows what the podcast is all about, so he wasn't too happy to hear it. In an effort to deflect yet another lecture about Mpreg, I offered to have us listen to the episode, try not to take it too seriously, and possibly have him gather a few like-minded individuals to pitch a Irregular episode. Just to be on the safe side, I had the forethought to give the episode a listen the night it came out before heading into work.
Needless to say, this episode will remained unplayed in my store. Now if I could only wipe the horror from my mind as easily...
