Yeah like, your brain basically gives you a big dose of homemade heroin. Oxytocin (and other neurotransmitters) is a hell of a drug.

It doesn't happen for everyone but like...having sudden changes in brain chemistry has very little to do with what's "in character for you" or aligns with your conscious goals, as anyone who's had depression, anxiety, BPD, ADHD or even bad PMS can attest.

That said, a diversity of experiences in stories is always better than a monoculture.

Yeah, uh the "don't worry, childbirth will totally brainwash you" arguement actually makes me want kids even less, it's too scary.

I'm not saying that should make it appealing for you? I don't want kids either. I'm just saying that the depiction of it fics OP objected to isn't unrealistic even for characters you wouldn't necessarily expect.

(Which does nothing to address the Doylist problems in terms of the prevalence of the trope, but that's a separate issue.)
