Because "birther" implies you are literally a baby factory. Not many women would voluntarily choose to make giving birth their full time job, even among people who *want* kids

Where did Carousel find a world like that?" *Cries inside* Well done, oh ye author. Well done.

2026-01-20 12:32:55 +0000 UTCI think its interesting that Carousel's branding is slipping. Before they triggered "Breathing Deeply" the banner called the lake "Rogers Basin" and now we have a place ripe for renaming, but its called "Culver's Bay" instead of "Carousel Bay". This is a far cry from the time it made Riley the "Carousel World Poker Champion" and apperently renamed an entire planet. Personally, I prefer this, it makes the settings feel more distinct. I assume this is a side effect of the stories not being fully polished yet, but it could also be part of Carousel's recent policy of increased autonomy.
