Tell me about it. I have to have my male sim be a Scientist with a Satilight Dish & Alien Portal to contact Aliens just so he can finally be abducted to have his Alien babies.
I am thankful that all the times my male scientist Sim got abducted, he never did get pregnant. I hated that they got pregnant. Lack of consent doesn't belong in *my* game!
Although I understand where your coming from, I personally wish men got pregnant more often and understand us women pain ??, it gives me great delight that men get preggers by aliens *evil laugh*
I would be perfectly fine with men getting pregnant in the game. My *only* objection is lack of consent when it comes to the alien pregnancy. I do not believe that a T for Teen game think it's ok for someone to essentially be ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and get pregnant.
This is pushing the boat out too far. How do you know there’s no consent? I bet those Pollination Technicians can be very very charming. Perhaps the men who come back pregnant are the only ones who do consent, since it doesn’t happen very often, even if they’re abducted frequently.
I feel that our culture has a responsibility not to participate in being ok with lack of consent. And that includes making sure that there is no "appearance of evil" when it comes to such things. Otherwise people are far too likely to discount it when I woman says she's had a problem with a man. "Oh, you're over thinking it." "You must have thought he was cute but changed your mind. That's your problem" and all the other things that people say when a woman has gone through that. (Apparently, we're not allowed to say what really happened or it gets words removed.)
There can be *no* consent if someone is coerced or is intoxicated. No matter how "cute" or "charming" the Pollination Technician is, the abductee was coerced into being abducted and when they return they are "dazed" not fully coherent. That means there can be *no* consent. If he went to Sixam and met the Pollination Technician there and decided to woohoo to have a baby that would be totally different. (As I've said, I have no problem with male pregnancy, if it is by consent.) But a coerced abduction where the person returns "dazed" says that there can be no consent.
Fortunately, since 2019 when I first posted this there have been changes made. Abduction doesn't result in unwanted pregnancy anymore. (I've had a scientist abducted 5 times so far and no pregnancies, thank goodness.) I had a mod that prevented abduction from happening at all, but unfortunately it hasn't been updated and causes problem. I do have the satellite installed (two, in fact) but it's a pain because you have to turn it on *every* day, rather than having it done once and sticking until you turn it off. And I have no desire to have a major mod like MCCC in my game. But for those who want a male pregnancy, MCCC would certainly work for them. Then you could have alien babies (consensually) to your heart's content.
But I'm glad that it's not happening now. It *is* a lack of consent and the fact that so many people are saying "you're overthinking it" or "pushing the boat too far" shows how there is a total lack of understanding of how such attitudes get into our society and how such a "simple thing" can lead to someone saying the same thing to someone who has gone through that type of "abduction" or "drunk date" experience. I'm thankful it has never happened to me. However, I've held the hands of too many women over the years who *have* gone through it to have any support for lack of consent for any woohoo, even in a game. (Especially a popular game that so many impressionable men and women play.)
