Spacebattles started doing stuff for it, write ups that is, but I feel they are forgetting a lot of things.
Number one being that having a Main Character for a child is implied to be a BAD thing.
Number two is that they assume that people will know if they are good guys or bad guys growing up.
And number three is that they are not chaining events in meaningful ways.

I think you pulled that explanation out of nowhere, and it's kinda super convoluted for no reason. Your number one is super easy to explain without going very far. Have you _seen_ what tends to happen to the parents of Main characters? Single parents are allowed, but happily married couples are kinda rare. If you try to stay in a marriage and your kid's a main character there's like a... 50 percent chance of death.
Two and three I sorta agree with, but those are hardly necessary to agonize over since all spacebattles is doing is generating random amusing snippets.
