I found that after the pure disappointment that was the first season, I actually didn’t mind the second season. Sure, there was quite a few instances of badly written dialogue, the worldbuilding was lacking and I still prefer the original but once you forget the original and view this as just another trashy teen fantasy drama, it’s not the worst. It’s actually quite engaging at times.
I believe people should have the freedom to make decisions about their own body. And just like how I would never support forced organ donations, I don’t support forced pregnancies.
I don’t think I could ever put myself through the horror show that is pregnancy. Not only is it cruel to me, it seems cruel to the child too.

Going through with a pregnancy comes with not only physical but also mental, social, financial and emotional consequences. Not everyone has the ability to safely go through with a pregnancy (and I’m not talking about merely life or death scenarios).
The vast majority of comedic films dealing with women’s sexuality, hell the vast majority of romantic comedies have a penchant for disregarding female autonomy. Whether that be via The Nice Guy trope (where a woman is shown to not know what she wants until a guy harasses her into going out with him) or by straight-up slut-shaming side characters for their sexuality.
