As others have noted, it has too much natalist themes bordering on propaganda. Even reviewers noticed it

>chunk of the story centers around women trapped in a pregnancy crisis, an uncomfortable digression that strays a bit too far into natalist territory.

did they not play the first one? the game is overtly, hamfistedly prolife. only redditors deny it, and they need 10 paragraph essays to even make an attempt. it is a celebration of fatherhood and children. baby killers can fuck off

How is it propaganda to say that having babies is a good thing? It's straight up necessary to continue humanity.

I would rather die than have children, not least because they don't deserve to be punished with my genes

Im sorry, but it's just backwards what Japan is doing. Women offer a lot more to society than just being baby factories. We've moved past those times. These sad attempts at propaganda are hamfisted and never work. It's like having grandma sit at the dinner table at Thanksgiving crying and asking why you haven't given her any grandkids. I dont want that in my video games.

I can understand being anti-natalist in on modern clown world where overpopulation will certainly be our death knell, But in a post apocalyptic game? What?
Not to mention Natalism is sort of a basic inherent opinion so acting like its shocking at all is massively gay.

this. It's even more understandable being that it's a Japanese game

Sadly, a sizeable chunk of humanity has been propagandized into being against that.

damn, it's almost like that's one of the core narratives they wanted to work with? why would the baby game talk about baby bellies and baby births and baby unbirths without my consent?

They are only saying that because they see white babies.

Mr Shekelstein can make twice as much money if he employs both and doesn't increase wages with inflation for decades

It's akin to taking a bullet, sometimes. Many times. Unless you are rich and well adjusted.

Except the propaganda is of the baby making kind. It's just not working.

not at all. For decades people have been propagandized against having children. Only recently with boomer pensions needing to be paid and immigrants not contributing enough to do so, have governments realized their error.

I mean I haven't played it or the first one but there's a difference between natalism and being anti-abortion afaik, so unless you just hate the idea of giving birth in general, you shouldn't have a problem with it.

>propagandized against having children
People want to have children though, both the thing is those who want them would rather not have them if they don't have financial stability or the correct partner to raise a child with.
