Do you have a «pregnant Ranma problem»?

Pregnant Ranma Problem (from Wikipedia)
In anime fandom a pregnant Ranma problem refers to any discussion of the mechanics or logistics of a token gimmick, or plot device that would normally be governed by suspension of disbelief. The term often carries the suggestion that rather than the 'problem' following internal logic or mood of the series, it is treated too realistically by fans or is out of scope.
Great! I hope I can used it soon in a blog discussion: "Do you have a pregnant Ranma problem?"


Btw: In a Anpanman series I am watching with my kids, there is a place with two lakes nearby. If you fall into one, you become a child, in the other you get old. This somehow echoes - less subversively - Ranma's switching between the sexes.
