      Dunno who that is, looks like fanart also

      because then you might have to give players the ability to kill a mother and its unborn baby and game devs know that the latter is morally unjustifiable

      Not every game needs to be gritty nig simulators

    Many western game devs are antinatalist childfree redditors. They believe pregnancy is some sort of violence done to a woman by men

      Yeah can't remember any western title with pregnant women.
      Japanese I can't think of Twilight Princess and MML.
      I'm not including the likes of Harvest Moon or DQV because even though the character gets pregnant, it doesn't signal it on the actual character sprite.

      You have to use a different model, which is not worth it for one or two minor npcs usually (especially as poly counts increased). When it comes to main characters it's usually rare for an important character in a piece of media that usually has some kind of conflict or combat or something to be pregnant. On top of all of that they'd need new animations to prevent clipping. This is basically "why aren't there more fat characters in games" but to a further extreme.

      I didn't play them myself but didn't one of the new Wolfenstein games have a pregnant woman dual-wielding rifles in one scene?

        It's wild that we're in 2024 and rendering different models is a challenge.
        Anyway there's many fat characters in games.

          It's not a challenge, it's an expense, and one that doesn't wow people in trailers or make the experience smoother so it's not generally done.

            What's the difference between a big/fat character and a pregnant woman in terms of expense?

    • 5 months ago

      True. Also it's easier to score diversity points by including more brown people than pregnant women.

      I don't get it when people say stuff like this, don't you understand how most would be less inclined to have children or romanticize pregnancy because of stuff like crunch?

      Maybe don't bash MW3 for being short or be angry at devs who re-release games.

    I mean, what's so weird about pregnancy? It's super natural and normal. You get all sort of weird ass characters (zombies, half-monsters, robots, bawds, etc etc) but not pregnant women?

    if i were to guess it's the same reason you didn't see pregnant characters on tv back in the day
    it's an inherent acknowledgement that sexual reproduction exists and this triggers all kinds of worthless idiots
    you've got the prudish bible humpers who would rather jump off a cliff than explain to their kids where babies come from
    you've also got the bitter trans and gays that resent or are grossed out by such natural processes

      ffs with that logic you may was well not show people at all because their existence implies that someone fricked.

      Because pregnant women are disgusting and fat? Nobody even disputes that, and nobody cares since it's a choice to get pregnant and ruined forever.

        the obvious: nothing. she makes some pained comment and you're kicked out of the conversation to do it again until you choose to help her.

      Pregnancy is the ultimate form of femininity, a pregnant woman is at her absolute peak.

      They might not look sexy and they morb into highly volatile toads, but is the maximum expression of the woman form.
