        Isn’t that a paradox though. In order to travel into the future to meet you you would have to first be born, if they met you and then decided you weren’t worth it then who was it they met?

          Depends on which movie/TV show/book/etc. we’re looking at for time travel mechanics. Nice thing about fiction is that you can put together the story and then work backwards with all the egghead stuff.

        In this s case, they would time travel, have you and name you gay Hitler as a joke. Not like, your current parents right now.

        Your parents would be unable to modify any events that materially affect them in our timeline, so you’re safe.

        Your parents are free to live in an alternate timeline where you do not or never existed though.
