After swimming around all of this for way too long, I'm also entirely convinced that anyone who connects with or espouses pro-natalism is just hung up on some sexual kink. Almost strictly. And I know it's hyperbolic but I've gone way harder and deeper trying to dismantle those weirdos than I have here, and it's so deeply connected to the trad-wife cosplay kink thing and conservative-masked race-play fantasy that the entire online pro-natalist sphere is just a hookup app at this point.

Wholeheartedly agree, though I think that such a person could also simultaneously be trying to repress the rights of women, not just have a sex kink. It can be both things.
