  • Source: https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/135/141 in several places, including "These texts explore Sam and Dean as fathers and homemakers, depicting family life, with all its traditional trappings, but without women. When pregnancy is brought into the equation, it brings concomitant narrative and social conventions, resulting in conventional stories set in a very unconventional universe."
  • ALT1: ... that Arnold Schwarzenegger was pregnant in the 1994 film Junior? Source: https://screenshot-media.com/culture/internet-culture/mpreg-erotic-genre/ "In 1994, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s blockbuster hit Junior explored the possibilities of male pregnancy. As part of a fertility research project, Schwarzenegger’s character implanted an embryo onto the wall of his peritoneal cavity—thereby giving birth to a healthy baby girl."
  • ALT2: ... that even mpreg enthusiasts disapprove of "ass babies"? Source: https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/651/544 "One birthing technique that readers are highly unlikely to run across is anal delivery of what is notoriously called an "ass baby." ... Amy said that any author trying to take herself and her writing seriously would not use anal delivery because "the rectum is inherently funny—it wouldn't work for mpreg that wants to be anything other than crack fic""

  • Comment: I'd appreciate input on the hooks here. I'd like something that doesn't just rely on shock value or "look at those weirdos". I don't love any of these - #1 is slightly misleading, in that the full quote is "conventional stories set in a very conventional universe, #2 focuses entirely on the movie which isn't in conversation with the rest of the mpreg genre, and the last one is rather sensationalist.

  • Update: I got someone to release an image, so it could run with the image currently in the article. I'm not sure how much it adds as an image hook, leaving that up to reviewers opinions. Rusalkii (talk) 02:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am amazed that we did not have this article before and jealous that I did not get to write it! New, substantial, comprehensive, and fun. DYK material par excellence. Arnold is not mentioned in the article, so we cannot run that (though he most probably should be mentioned), and I find ALT2 far better anyway. It is the single most hilarious hook I have ever read.

What about, "... that mpreg enthusiasts typically disdain breastfeeding?" Or something else from one of the various anti-breastfeeding quotes covered in the article. Fieari (talk) 07:42, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
