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

      Once pregnant, otherwise-competent women will become hysterical and run away from danger while flailing their arms.pic.twitter.com/NgKmae4Kqe

      Using childbirth as a simplistic gameplay mechanic is both dehumanizing and also perpetuates widespread sexist ideas about pregnant women.

      The sexist idea that pregnant women are hysterical, irrational and unreliable at work is directly reinforced by Fallout Shelter's mechanics.

      Satire actively criticizes its target. Fallout Shelter's pregnancy mechanics aren't satirizing 50s sexism, just "humorously" reproducing it.

      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/ …

          @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.

          @femfreq "b) raises the vault’s population and thus my labor pool." This is the sort of thing that you think about and it's really backwards
