The way r/thesims talks about male characters…

I was surprised about that, too. I actually got into The Sims late in life (ha). I started on Sims4. My husband and I played it with our (at the time) 2 kiddos. It was fun, and it was interesting to see the kind of adults they wanted to be at the time. Now we play it with our 3 kiddos.

It's not a big deal, but it was shocking to me because I always thought Sims was supposed to be aspirational. Literally, you can be the person you want to be - even if it's a freaking mermaid.

No kidding, when we first played my husband and I chose gardener (farm wasn't available at the time) and author. These were "dreams" or "wishes" of ours, and we ended up following those career paths IRL (why I call it aspirational).

It's worrying to me because if this is a game of aspirations, why just have "the father of my children"?

Maybe it's a generational thing (officially old enough to start saying that!), or maybe our family is weird.

Who the hell cares about some idiots playing a video-game that hasn't been innovative or fun for the past 20 years?

This isn't an issue, let the idiots be idiots unless they are disturbing you. We have way bigger problems like parenting alienation, parenting fraud, domestic violence, fair law treatment, having our masculinity threatened, etc. Teenagers being dumb while playing a video-game isn't one of them.
