The only one I've seen people call themselves is trap, and that's because they're weebs dealing with internalized transphobia who come out as trans or nb later or femme guys who don't get or don't care about the transphobia of the term, usually the first one.
That's good for them, but a lot of people are actually hurt by being called objectifying, intentionally negative things that imply they're wrong about who they are. Again, just because one person calls themselves something doesn't mean someone else is okay with being called that thing, and it doesn't mean it's okay for everyone to call them that.
I obviously disagree. There's not really anything you can do to stop it, but some things are objectively wrong to say, which makes them not okay.
I'm glad you're not bothered by casual racism then, but some people still are, it hurts, it's dehumanizing, it's humiliating, and often accompanied with violence that scars people's psyche towards those words. It isn't okay just because you can brush it off.
Fine. Honestly, I'm content just that you're not being an ass, these gave me mad anxiety to post.

Everyone is so hyper fertile/virile (and having so much sex) that the birth control just reduces fertility to normal-ish rates.
Birth control isn't instantaneous, it takes at least two days for it to start having an effect on humans. Considering that its in the water, its going to be an incredibly highly concentrated dose which ends up being diluted, so its effect is going to be lessened. So in most cases, Steele isn't on New Texas long enough for a glass of water to have an effect on them. Not to mention, that I would imagine that while the birth control in the water is the most commonly used method on New Texas, its also probably supplemented by other sources.
It's explained in-game that BC just lowers the birth rate to acceptable levels, otherwise with all the sex the planet would be overrun in months.
There's not a single individual who's in charge of writing all pregnancy content; anyone can get such content in the game, assuming it meets OXO Industries' content standards. Off the top of my head, I know that Savin, William, B, Gardeford and JimThermic have all written pregnancy content at some point, and I'd be unsurprised if others have, too.
Someone would probably have to pay someone outside of this community, inside the community I can only see William, Nonesuch, Wsan, and maybe SoandSo. As much as id love to see it aswell I doubt its gonna happen anytime soon.
@ChocoTea - Late to Ciaran talk, but Night Trap is the creator of, and as such the one in charge of writing, his content. If you manage to find his thread, you'll see there IS a plan to add preg content with him via a quest to convince him he wasn't a bad dad to his daughter (the reason he doesn't want any more kids if you manage to land the rare random event you escort him him after he gets in a bar fight).
Unfortunately, Night Trap has been unable to write due to irl reasons, but thankfully they're still on board the team. We just need to wait for the time they're able to continue writing again.
