/uj Anyone unironically using the phrase “activating ovaries” needs to be punched in the face. I’ve played 8 or so hours of this game and it is in no way “pedo bait”. If you think that you’re self reporting.

Is everyone in this thread stupid?

I have only ever heard this from young women after seeing an especially cute kid. Saying stuff like "oh my god my ovaries" after watching a child do something cute/endearing. In no way is it a pedophilic phrase, it's a somewhat TMI way of expressing a desire for motherhood. (Just out of curiosity as someone with no desire for children and no ovaries, can any cis-women confirm or deny this as being a physical experience/ sensation or is it just an expression)

If the game has parental themes I could see the phrase being used by a woman in a totally innocuous way.

E: ah it's the circlejerk sub. I've been master baited. fuck

Circlejerk subs are just containment subs for trolls. Change my mind.
