The pregnancy mechanics in Fallout Shelter are super troubling. The primary way to progress is to impregnate as many women as possible.

Here’s an insightful post on how Fallout Shelter's pregnancy mechanics actively encourage sexist choices in gameplay: http://www.eugenefischer.com/2015/06/22/patriarchy-in-my-vault/ …

@femfreq your making something sexist that wasn't supposed to be all of the game is supposed to be cute and humorous. I like it! -
@GeorgeH63731887@femfreq It doesn't matter if it wasn't "supposed" to be sexist, it is. -
@MaxwellElvis@femfreq I'm sorry but it's not I'm not trying to start an argument but-please listen to my reasons why I think it isnt -
@GeorgeH63731887@MaxwellElvis how about you don't and instead you read again why it is. Better yet, don't try to tell women it's not. -
@RemingtonWild@MaxwellElvis I did but this game....one that is supposed to be cute and humorous offends women...., please that's stupid! -
@GeorgeH63731887@RemingtonWild How about you stop trying to tell a woman what she is and is not allowed to be offended by? -
@MaxwellElvis@RemingtonWild I'm not! I simply disagreed with it. I have my damn opinion too. How about you stop making things sexist.... - 3 more replies

@femfreq you know what I am very certain if I was pregnant and there was an emergency, the child's life would be > my heroism/ego.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq isn't the fact that Fallout's society utterly failed, blew itself up and the large majority of vaults going wrong, a criticism?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq Where do you even see humour/satire in it? I don't think it's meant to be funny, it's just mechanically functional. -
@Charalanahzard@femfreq Not keen AT ALL, but would probably laugh if the 'incompetence' mechanism had been an abrupt mid-life male crisis -
@Charalanahzard@femfreq Actually, would be amazing if older male characters at a certain point stopped following instructions completely. -
@hankfultron@femfreq It takes to have a child, which is what progresses your vault, really. Though, yeah, the animation isn't necessary. - 1 more reply

@femfreq Satire doesn't actively criticize, it strips the issue of it's pretense to expose the audacity at the core of the concept.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
