Just once I'd like to see a story about the all-male race of space bandits whose reproduction strategy involves kidnapping unsuspecting alien women, taking them back to their clean and well-decorated spaceships, walking around oiled and shirtless, and serving fresh-baked muffins and rosé while politely explaining their comprehensive health- and childcare policies. I think this would be a much more effective strategy, honestly.

@alis you could probably even skip the kidnappings and just have a signup form if the muffins and comprehensive health and childcare policies were good enough

@Satsuma@glitch.cat.family I feel that the kidnappings would have to be part of it. For, like. The Drama. Like a mating ritual or something. Also because all the other planets would definitely spread lies and slander about the Slutty Pirate Boy Harem Race to prevent their fertile (and/or just horny) populations running off to join them…

@alis split the difference and still do kidnappings but you only take the people on the signup sheet

its such a hassle kidnapping people who are going to say no, then you have to figure out how to put them back!
