Fun game, unfortunately sexist. – Fallout Shelter Review

As a fan of the Fallout series, one of the things I've admired about the games is their take on gendered mechanics: there basically are none. I like that approach, when I play a game I don't want to worry about anything but *Playing the Game*. With "fallout shelter", I just can't live with the portrayal of pregnant women in this game. It's so blatantly offensive, I have a hard time understanding how so many people, including the development team, seem to be completely blind to it. The animation is the real clincher, with the women flailing their arms around wildly and screaming into the air - to really *drive home* how helpless and panicked they are. Add to the list of many reasons why I choose to never become pregnant: apparently the condition makes it impossible to operate a firearm or make rational decisions when my flight or fight response is activated. At least I learned something!!! *blows raspberries in disgust*
