Talk:Jerd

Thinking about how to handle Jerd's page

I'm trying to write about Jerd with some sensitivity. There have been a couple of reviews around the web from folks who think Jerd's storyline is "slut-shaming," and I want to approach this without bias, as much as is possible. We get a lot of bias from Thymara, but at its root I think that's more about the dangers of procreating. My sense of Jerd's story arc is that these people are in a situation where there isn't reliable contraception, and that risking pregnancy during a perilous expedition spreads risk to the whole expedition. ::BelleFree::
