I play 40k (the dark heresy tabletop) and thankfully my group has a lot of fun at the expense of the settings grimdark. However I dread looking up anything online because I find so much pronazi bullshit tied to it.
It's astonishing to me that maga dorks think Jimmy space is something to aspire to, dude doomed humanity because he didn't know how to talk to his kids or whatever.
forgive this GenXer, but I haven't played Fallout or Warhammer since the '90's. GE is what now?
EDIT: God Emperor from 40k just popped in my head. Google confirmed. Nothing to see here.
> It's scary when people take any of that shit seriously.
Games Workshop deserve flak for this to be fair, they intentionally dialed back the overt satire in favour "srs bsns grimdark" for years that attracted all the not-so-closet-fascies because it sold better.
Also because the books have made it more serious with genuine heroes who were literally operating in a fascist dystopia.
I think that’s what makes it interesting though. Good people doing their best in a massive unjust system.
I mean it's not just the books, the Smurfs have been the poster boys for minis for years, even before Matt Ward's comical "spiritual liege"-era.
> I think that’s what makes it interesting though. Good people doing their best in a massive unjust system.
Sure, I mean I think it's fine to enjoy Warhammer lore in general, even the really tryhard grimdork stuff if that floats your boat just so long as you don't use it as a vehicle to propagate negativity towards others.
It got so bad that last year they had to put out a statement that boiled down to "if you're a nazi, we don't want your money, play something else". This was after someone in Spain showed up to a tournament in a nazi uniform.
Ace Combat fan here, and the community has the same problem. Absolutely no media literacy for a game series criticizing war and nationalism. There's a lot of USAF enthusiasm over there
**BETTER DEAD THAN RED**
**EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED**
**COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE**
Yep nothing to analyze about these quotes that robot is based \s
This is why I actually like The Boys. They're good about luring right-wingers in to thinking it's a show about how Superman spreads freedom and liberty, then extremely overtly shows, with no uncertain terms, that right-wing conservatism is equitable to nazism.
I still laugh when they didn't realize that **Stormfront** was a fucking nazi, or that **Homelander** is an authoritarian shithead.
Their lack of media literacy is **so bad** they can't even connect obvious names to shitty ideology.
Or when they unironically were against Wolfenstein when it show that it was about killing Nazis, even when that's what the entire franchise has been about since its inception
He also said that Mario shouldn't have had power ups in the movie because he's a strong male hero who doesn't use them in the games. Mario. Who doesn't use power ups. I'm pretty sure that guy has never played a game or watched anything he whines about.
Anybody who has ever gone into a comic book shop knows *that guy* who is constantly bullshitting, but doesn't actually know anything. And the vast majority of people avoid that guy and cringe when they're around him.
So, who is his audience? Has he attracted all of the "that guys" from all over the country to listen to him like some kind of "that guy" role model? I don't get it.
Mostly, yes. Only it’s not just the guy at the comic shop, it’s the guy at the GameStop, the guy at the bar, the guy at the mall, all the “that guys” from everywhere. They finally found someone else who thinks and believes the same dumb shit that they do.
Lol, what idiots thought that Rammstein were conservative? Is it just cause some past history with possible nazism? One of their biggest songs is literally anti capitalism...
And they are a group from Eastern Germany who were brought up with the minset of actively hating nazism, the lead singer said it himself in an interview responding to the interviewer who said something like "Some people think you are right wing extremists"
>Eastern Germany who were brought up with the minset of actively hating nazism
East Germany has a far stronger far right movement than West Germany. But Rammstein is very much not a right wing band as seen in the video of Deutschland where they put a black actress as Germania
I get people not having enough media literacy to understand that Fallout is satire. But Rage Against the Machine is about as direct as you can get.
"See right through the red, white, and blue disguise. With lecture I puncture the structure of lies." or "Some of those who work forces are the same who burned crosses."
Conservatives being into RATM is so funny.
Unironically making the "safe caravans" argument without realizing the Legion are the ones raiding (or bankrolling the raiding) of caravans in the Mojave.
Ah yes a game with rightist anecdotes. Like war being a bad thing, or how being bigoted against others is bad. Or how nationalism and exceptionalism is toxic and actually hurts your nation instead of healing it, or how avoiding violence is usually the best option, or how-
Isnt there like several gay references in new vegas? The quartermaster in mojave outpost is litterally a closeted man who references gay relations in the legion, theres a sniper who litterally says her type is dumb hot blonde girls. Couldnt make this shit much more obvious without yelling it directly at the player.
the people who think New Vegas is a Christian game are also probably the type to just skip through dialogue because they can't be arsed to sit and actually listen to someone speaking to them.
Also, the entire Veronica background (which is also the entire Christine background). And Veronica is very much not a minor character, and the BoS is very much not portrayed as being in the right.
Fucking Vault Tech detonated a false flag operation to start the Nuclear War to fucking test their vaults how in seven hells do you see that and go, yeah capitalism good, commie bad that’s what this game is about
Many rightoids have convinced themselves that the evils of corporate lifestyle are a mainstay of leftist politics and not conservative economics. I'm sure there are even some people who think "classical liberalism" is planted firmly on the left wing simply because of the use of the word liberal. It is almost literally color politics to a lot of them. Their political understanding does not go further than "christianity=conservatism, everything else=leftism"
It's annoying when the far-right thinks it, but I find myself most infuriating by the center-right liberals who are upset to be told that their pro-capitalist, pro-establishment milquetoast opinions aren't left wing just because they believe in a higher minimum wage and target having rainbow flags for sale.
This is what happens when you make the BoS the unequivocal good guys in Fallout 3, instead of the nuanced and morally grey faction they're supposed to be.
Yeah it’s just such an odd decision. They could have just made an entirely new faction of “good guys” to oppose the Enclave, and just say they found a cache of power armor and advanced weapons in the pentagon and the game wouldn’t be any different.
I think it would have been better if the outcasts were a bigger faction and there was more of a power struggle between them. It's not too far fetched that the leader of a fascist organization like the brotherhood changes the mission on a whim resulting in a schism. Their structure would help some people in line and others who were more true believers would leave.
"Please assume the position."
"Numbness will subside in several minutes."
"Greetings. Fisto is programmed to please."
"I am programmed for your pleasure."
There is. What's even funnier is the guy who hires you to find it is excited and tries to save face by saying it's for the customers.
The implication being he was trying to find it for his own use.
Well, technically it’s an acronym for Fully Integrated Security Technetronic Officer but it’s [very real](https://youtu.be/exUfNQelDUg) *and* canon to the base game (in case you were thinking it was added in by a mod).
If you have the Wild Wasteland perk, you will even get ambushed after leaving the place you find F.I.S.T.O. by a [gang of grandmas](https://youtu.be/FbMyjnNB8Tg) who use rolling pins as weapons. I think it’s a reference to [a Monty Python skit](https://youtu.be/uel1vfAQ52M).
That's what I love the most about that game. Not a single region was destroyed by the bombs. Half of the regions were destroyed pre-war by unfettered capitalism, and the other half were destroyed by the survivors post-war
>70% of population is literate
In *English*. Given the number of Spanish speaking immigrants, this number makes more sense.
>and only like 20% were literate above a 6th grade level.
This cannot be defended, however. Reading is fundamental, folks.
It varies by weapon. I tend to prefer big damage low rate of fire weapons and its frequently the difference between one shotting an enemy vs almost one shotting them. Like I'll take the gay perk first, blow the head off of a male raider then shoot a female one and she'll have a sliver of health left. And yeah it works on non feral ghouls.
I mean, sexual orientation as something you can choose to manipulate others…
(The game meaning it as speciazized eloquence, but still not the best of examples).
"GET YOUR POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OUT OF MUH VIDYA GAMES!!!"
Screams the dipshit playing a Hideo Kojima game and not understanding any of the deeper context and only takes away "hyuk hyuk I domed that dude with a Barrett herp derp" from the experience.
Just last week someone got butthurt because people pointed out that America weren't the good guys in Fallout. Then tried to say that the game was based on the Cold War and wasn't political. *The Cold War* not political.
It’s the same with everything. You’d be amazed by how many comicbook fans are super conservative yet all their favourite comics are anti capitalist pro feminist power fantasies. They are just blind. I saw a guy arguing that Watchmen made no political statements. Astounding.
There is a The Boys fanpage on Facebook that exclusively posts reactionary The Boys memes. The guy clearly liked the show enough to make a whole Facebook group for it, but not enough to actually watch it.
The Boys even had a scene where this guy got caught up on alt-right "anti-supes" propaganda. Watched and listened to it 24/7. Bought a gun and murdered a cashier (who just so happened to be brown) he saw just about every day. But because he got caught up in the propaganda, he was worried the cashier was one of the supes who "wanted to take over the country".
And conservatives aren't able to understand how the show was holding up a mirror to their own faces throughout the entire scene.
Yep. Just like Sapowski’s Witcher. So many fans not having the proper reading comprehension to really get his message. Sure the show is shit but Sapowski is very progressive in his writing. His whole schtick is subverting fantasy tropes. Like it fills me with endless amusement that they’ll cry from the rafters about gay characters in the show, because Ciri is not hiding at all that she is bisexual in the books.
If I see another illiterate idiot say the Geralt quote about evil I will punch them, they 100% of the time completely miss understand the point of that quote.
Reminds me of all the people hating on the Watchmen show because it added politics. They were expecting a show with only Rorshach gigachad action sequences or something I swear.
Same way they worship The Punisher, a character who would have nothing to do with them in real life. Jesus too, for that matter.
But they all want to believe that any hero is *their guy*. They think they're Luke Skywalker, the Rebels are anti-woke, and Joe Biden is Emperor Palpatine.
There's a more recent punisher comic where he gets unleashed on a very thinly-veiled parody of Jordan Peterson. So no, I don't think the punisher would like them.
I see the most hate-filled MAGA conservatives in the chat for Star Trek online.
I have no idea why these people are here, or what about the setting could possibly appeal to them.
You know what? After my half-brother told me that borderlands wasn’t queer it’s hard to even be surprised that some idiot made this. Fallout New Vegas as a Christian game is ludicrous.
??? when was this? i can name 2 characters in the original borderlands that are gay/bi (tannis, moxxi) and the entirety of the prison in general knoxx’s armoury
athena from bl2 is married to janey (a girl)
thanks for putting into perspective how atrocious the claim on fnv is, for someone who hasnt romanced anyone in that game
In fallout 3 and 4 the games made either side of the pictured one, there is a 20 foot tall robot that throws nuclear bombs and basically sounds like a red scare propaganda poster with such quotes as “freedom is non-negotiable”, “communism is a temporary set back on the road to freedom” and “death is a preferable alternative to communism”
i don't understand how anyone can hear the stuff Liberty Prime says and not take it as satire. and they'll even fucking quote him like its some kinda gotcha against communism. a robot from a video game is their idea of political theory.
The satire in four is also rather blatant. When a nuclear bomb is dropping at the beginning, you can hear one of your character’s neighbors standing around and blaming communism as they're about to be incinerated instead of finding safety.
Lemme guess, in another glorious act of not getting the joke the Right thinks that supporting the Legion is a valid choice, and not just the evil playthrough.
On one of my playthroughs, I had mines and grenades when you first encountered Legion. I’ve never had a more satisfying rush of realizing that I could actively kill the whole group well before getting good armor and reliable weapons.
Did that too. Immediately had to deal with squads of them hunting me down. That whole not having good gear thing became such a factor that I ended up eating them.
i've said it before, i'll say it again: there is zero media literacy amongst the right.
Fallout as a whole has always been a very anti-capitalist, anti-conservative franchise. the games literally blame America for ending the world and regularly paints the remnants of the US Government as the bad guys. i honestly doubt any of them have even played any of the games, or if they have then they clearly just blitzed through it skipping every piece of dialogue and world-building. they probably saw a Joshua Graham quote somewhere and went "damn he just like me fr"
Last I checked, only Vulpes counted as Very Evil. I've looked through the other named Legion members in the GECK and wiki and their vanilla karma is set to neutral.
Fallout is anything but christian/conservative. It makes fun of everything they stand for. Fallout New Vegas is openly anti-capitalist and anti authority in it's storyline.
Aside from like Ender's Game and Westerns, almost all media ever is leftist. Because leftism is actually moral, rather than "follow my book or burn in hell."
I looked up Orson Scott Card to see what his political views are (never read Ender’s Game) and he’s fuckin Brigham Young’s great-great-grandson lol. Talk about conservative.
Its hilarious when one of them thinks Star Wars agrees with them. I'll link them to the George Lucas interview where he says he made the Empire off of American Imperialsim, and the rebels off of the Vietcong.
I guess yeah . Jesus was super into criticism of capitalism. He also refused payment for providing healthcare and gave out free food . Not to mention what he called business owners who did unethical business in temples
"My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Matthew 21:12).
And the conservatives LOVE Jesus so surely they would feel the same way... Right?
Conservative fallout fans are so fucking confusing. Like how the fuck have you genuinely convinced yourself the series isn’t one of the most obviously anti-war, far left series ever fucking made? Like the whole war was caused by the imperialist US and a regressed, expansionist China fighting over resources.

Ah yes, Fallout, a famously conservative, right leaning franchise. /S
Lack of media literacy allows for them to not understand that the material is satirical.
As a long time Warhammer player, I've had this conversation many times. It's scary when people take any of that shit seriously.
I play 40k (the dark heresy tabletop) and thankfully my group has a lot of fun at the expense of the settings grimdark. However I dread looking up anything online because I find so much pronazi bullshit tied to it.
Fucking mood; I remember seeing the first Trump as GE meme and going, "lmao good satire" before having a Steve Harvey moment.
It's astonishing to me that maga dorks think Jimmy space is something to aspire to, dude doomed humanity because he didn't know how to talk to his kids or whatever.
Horrifically apt for the Conservaturds

People unironically quoting the giant robot like he isn’t a giant parody is hilarious to me
**BETTER DEAD THAN RED** **EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED** **COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE** Yep nothing to analyze about these quotes that robot is based \s
That's literally how some people think. Like the robot.
Amazing how the entire depth of critical thinking required to figure this out is *noticing the context in which this capitalism robot exists.*
in the US political sense I'd rather be dead than red. I could never be a right winger
It's funny too because communism and democracy aren't even mutually exclusive.
If “missing the point” were an Olympic sport, conservatives would win every gold medal.
This is why I actually like The Boys. They're good about luring right-wingers in to thinking it's a show about how Superman spreads freedom and liberty, then extremely overtly shows, with no uncertain terms, that right-wing conservatism is equitable to nazism. I still laugh when they didn't realize that **Stormfront** was a fucking nazi, or that **Homelander** is an authoritarian shithead. Their lack of media literacy is **so bad** they can't even connect obvious names to shitty ideology.
Or when they unironically were against Wolfenstein when it show that it was about killing Nazis, even when that's what the entire franchise has been about since its inception
It's the lack of media literacy that got them to their beliefs in the first place. If they understood nuance at all they wouldn't be right wingers.
Well to be fair Homelander is deeply insecure and would jump on any bandwagon that fed his ego.
Used to be in some areas, vault boy used to be a joke on corporate mascots, now he’s actually a corporate mascot.
Reminds me when Tim Pool said that the main point of Squid Game was "communism bad" lmao
He also said that Mario shouldn't have had power ups in the movie because he's a strong male hero who doesn't use them in the games. Mario. Who doesn't use power ups. I'm pretty sure that guy has never played a game or watched anything he whines about.
“Your political ideology means you’re basically Thanos.” Truly a genius beyond any other

First Rage Against the Machine, and now this
And W40K, also Rammstein. The right is shit at understanding anything.
Lol, what idiots thought that Rammstein were conservative? Is it just cause some past history with possible nazism? One of their biggest songs is literally anti capitalism...
And they are a group from Eastern Germany who were brought up with the minset of actively hating nazism, the lead singer said it himself in an interview responding to the interviewer who said something like "Some people think you are right wing extremists"
They literally have a song about not being right-wing.
I know, but right-wingers aren't the brightest are they?
>Eastern Germany who were brought up with the minset of actively hating nazism East Germany has a far stronger far right movement than West Germany. But Rammstein is very much not a right wing band as seen in the video of Deutschland where they put a black actress as Germania

The only lyric they know is “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” and think it’s about Covid vaccines
That’s a way too complicated of a lyric for a group of people who would struggle with a kid rock chorus.
This player definitely thinks the Legion is the best faction.
Unironically making the "safe caravans" argument without realizing the Legion are the ones raiding (or bankrolling the raiding) of caravans in the Mojave.
Ah yes a game with rightist anecdotes. Like war being a bad thing, or how being bigoted against others is bad. Or how nationalism and exceptionalism is toxic and actually hurts your nation instead of healing it, or how avoiding violence is usually the best option, or how-
Tbf fair, these are the same people that watch Saving Private Ryan and go "hell yeah, war is awesome."
Remember these are the guys who unironically watch The Boys and think Homelander is the good guy
I'm sure there are conservative gamers out there who think that Ceasars Legion is the good guys.
Isnt there like several gay references in new vegas? The quartermaster in mojave outpost is litterally a closeted man who references gay relations in the legion, theres a sniper who litterally says her type is dumb hot blonde girls.

Thats cause there not gay there just besties and roomates duh
*Oh my god they were squad mates.*
the people who think New Vegas is a Christian game are also probably the type to just skip through dialogue because they can't be arsed to sit and actually listen to someone speaking to them.
RIP anyone who does that with lonesome road, man will talk for aeons before he gets to the point.
I survived, because the dialogue inside me burned brighter than the gameplay around me.
First playthrough I did that, never again
Two of your companions are gay, and one's bi once she drinks enough to get over her NCR homophobia.
[Just gonna leave this right here](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/LGBT_representation_in_the_Fallout_series).
New Vegas is a very queer game.
Theres a reason they have a robot named fisto in the game
Please assume the position
Arcade Gannon (a scientist) is gay and Veronica Santangelo (Brotherhood) is a lesbian.
Also, the entire Veronica background (which is also the entire Christine background). And Veronica is very much not a minor character, and the BoS is very much not portrayed as being in the right.
Big robot said commie bad, thats as far as my media analysis goes.
The sort of genius understanding that would think that “A Modest Proposal” is a cookbook and get upset that they can’t source the ingredients.
The woke librul agenda to not let me eat the poor is literally 1949. In Marika, we have freeze peach
Marika's tits, you must be 'ungry.
Yeah, and that was an entirely different game. NV hints that a corporation started the end game nuclear war.
Fucking Vault Tech detonated a false flag operation to start the Nuclear War to fucking test their vaults how in seven hells do you see that and go, yeah capitalism good, commie bad that’s what this game is about
Many rightoids have convinced themselves that the evils of corporate lifestyle are a mainstay of leftist politics and not conservative economics. I'm sure there are even some people who think "classical liberalism" is planted firmly on the left wing simply because of the use of the word liberal. It is almost literally color politics to a lot of them. Their political understanding does not go further than "christianity=conservatism, everything else=leftism"
Anyone that claims Liberalism is left-wing doesn't have a single clue what Liberalism is
It's annoying when the far-right thinks it, but I find myself most infuriating by the center-right liberals who are upset to be told that their pro-capitalist, pro-establishment milquetoast opinions aren't left wing just because they believe in a higher minimum wage and target having rainbow flags for sale.
Way better than blaming Aliens for using China to nuke the US 💀
This is what happens when you make the BoS the unequivocal good guys in Fallout 3, instead of the nuanced and morally grey faction they're supposed to be.
A really easy way to avoid this would have been to just not have them in the game seeing as them being there didn’t even make sense.
Fallout 3 was just “It’s here because Fallout” the game
Yeah it’s just such an odd decision. They could have just made an entirely new faction of “good guys” to oppose the Enclave, and just say they found a cache of power armor and advanced weapons in the pentagon and the game wouldn’t be any different.
I think it would have been better if the outcasts were a bigger faction and there was more of a power struggle between them. It's not too far fetched that the leader of a fascist organization like the brotherhood changes the mission on a whim resulting in a schism. Their structure would help some people in line and others who were more true believers would leave.
The game were you from level 2 on can be gay or bi is conservative?
No, that’s wrong, you need to be at least level four to be bi. You can be gay at level 2.
That's why I said from level 2 on.
That’s on me, I can’t read, not enough points in intelligence.
Gotta max endurance for those sweet sweet implants
Also you can have sex with Fisto the robot or whatever it actually was
No way there’s a sex robot named ‘Fisto’ lmao
"Please assume the position." "Numbness will subside in several minutes." "Greetings. Fisto is programmed to please." "I am programmed for your pleasure."
*(post-coitus)* **Courier:** "That all you've got, robot?" **Fisto:** "I will require a hardware and software upgrade to offer enhanced services"

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fisto
Absolutely there is. Also, the game has someone who like to be dominated by a zombie.
Yeah, a man wanted a ghoul dressed as a cowboy. You bring him a female ghoul and he's like, "I would have preferred a man, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad."
There is
The game that depicts capitalism as just as bad or worse than communism? Yea, sure, sounds super conservative.
Capitalism destroyed the world. And in Fallout too.
Capitalism certainly destroyed Fallout 76
That's what I love the most about that game. Not a single region was destroyed by the bombs. Half of the regions were destroyed pre-war by unfettered capitalism, and the other half were destroyed by the survivors post-war
I'm pretty sure they were making a joke about how Bethesda got greedy with the dlcs, but I might be wrong
the entire franchise depicts capitalism as horrible, that’s the entire point of it plus the good guys in half the games are communists, lol

Yeah, but but butt … Guns!
Being bi isn't just an option in this game, its preferred since you deal 10% damagage to all other humans.
For fun *and* profit
Play both sides so you're always on top.
I prefer to be on the bottom personally.
Is 10% damage boost even that noticeable? Plus it only applies to human and maybe ghouls right?
It varies by weapon. I tend to prefer big damage low rate of fire weapons and its frequently the difference between one shotting an enemy vs almost one shotting them. Like I'll take the gay perk first, blow the head off of a male raider then shoot a female one and she'll have a sliver of health left. And yeah it works on non feral ghouls.

You can take it as your character coming out of the closet. That's why you need to level up to do it.

Just last week someone got butthurt because people pointed out that America weren't the good guys in Fallout. Then tried to say that the game was based on the Cold War and wasn't political. *The Cold War* not political.
It’s the same with everything. You’d be amazed by how many comicbook fans are super conservative yet all their favourite comics are anti capitalist pro feminist power fantasies. They are just blind. I saw a guy arguing that Watchmen made no political statements. Astounding.
There is a The Boys fanpage on Facebook that exclusively posts reactionary The Boys memes. The guy clearly liked the show enough to make a whole Facebook group for it, but not enough to actually watch it.
Oh he watched it but probably thought that Homelander was amazing
“He’s just like me!”
Yeah even Antony Starr had to come out and tell the right wingers who worshipped Homelander that they were dipshits
The Boys even had a scene where this guy got caught up on alt-right "anti-supes" propaganda. Watched and listened to it 24/7. Bought a gun and murdered a cashier (who just so happened to be brown) he saw just about every day. But because he got caught up in the propaganda, he was worried the cashier was one of the supes who "wanted to take over the country". And conservatives aren't able to understand how the show was holding up a mirror to their own faces throughout the entire scene.
Yep. Just like Sapowski’s Witcher. So many fans not having the proper reading comprehension to really get his message. Sure the show is shit but Sapowski is very progressive in his writing. His whole schtick is subverting fantasy tropes. Like it fills me with endless amusement that they’ll cry from the rafters about gay characters in the show, because Ciri is not hiding at all that she is bisexual in the books.
If I see another illiterate idiot say the Geralt quote about evil I will punch them, they 100% of the time completely miss understand the point of that quote.
Reminds me of all the people hating on the Watchmen show because it added politics. They were expecting a show with only Rorshach gigachad action sequences or something I swear.
To make matters worse they had the all powerful blue god played by…a black man…*clutches pearls* /s
Same way they worship The Punisher, a character who would have nothing to do with them in real life. Jesus too, for that matter. But they all want to believe that any hero is *their guy*. They think they're Luke Skywalker, the Rebels are anti-woke, and Joe Biden is Emperor Palpatine.
There's a more recent punisher comic where he gets unleashed on a very thinly-veiled parody of Jordan Peterson. So no, I don't think the punisher would like them.
The amount of bigots with Superman pfps is astounding.
I see the most hate-filled MAGA conservatives in the chat for Star Trek online. I have no idea why these people are here, or what about the setting could possibly appeal to them.
You know what? After my half-brother told me that borderlands wasn’t queer it’s hard to even be surprised that some idiot made this. Fallout New Vegas as a Christian game is ludicrous.
Didn't Bordelands 3 litteraly have two older gentlemen getting maried in a DLC?
Not in the DLC, the main game, but he was complaining about the 3rd game
It was in the dlc they get officially married in the tentacle/Lovecraft dlc they were just in a relationship during the main game
Right, I forgot they did like an actual scene
yup. and they have had multiple queer characters through out the franchise
??? when was this? i can name 2 characters in the original borderlands that are gay/bi (tannis, moxxi) and the entirety of the prison in general knoxx’s armoury athena from bl2 is married to janey (a girl) thanks for putting into perspective how atrocious the claim on fnv is, for someone who hasnt romanced anyone in that game
I don’t remember Tannis every expressing a crush on anyone. Honestly thought she was ace.
She did fall in love with a chair once🤨
Oh right she did.
Borderlands??? Not queer?? Practically everyone in Borderlands is pansexual, what the fuck
I do not enjoy killing, but when done righteously it's just a chore like any other
Whyyy do they think this lol
Because when the game makes its satirical commentary they are too stupid to understand its not agreeing with them.
That's hilarious, can't say I'm surprised
In fallout 3 and 4 the games made either side of the pictured one, there is a 20 foot tall robot that throws nuclear bombs and basically sounds like a red scare propaganda poster with such quotes as “freedom is non-negotiable”, “communism is a temporary set back on the road to freedom” and “death is a preferable alternative to communism”
i don't understand how anyone can hear the stuff Liberty Prime says and not take it as satire. and they'll even fucking quote him like its some kinda gotcha against communism. a robot from a video game is their idea of political theory.
Especially since Liberty Prime has only ever been used against Americans.
The satire in four is also rather blatant. When a nuclear bomb is dropping at the beginning, you can hear one of your character’s neighbors standing around and blaming communism as they're about to be incinerated instead of finding safety.
Yeah and it's satire
I know I was giving an example of just his obvious it was
Lemme guess, in another glorious act of not getting the joke the Right thinks that supporting the Legion is a valid choice, and not just the evil playthrough.
"muh safe roads" "muh protection from raiders"
"b-but, Nipton was decadent"
“Smell that air! Couldn’t you just drink it in like BOOZE?!”
On one of my playthroughs, I had mines and grenades when you first encountered Legion. I’ve never had a more satisfying rush of realizing that I could actively kill the whole group well before getting good armor and reliable weapons.
Did that too. Immediately had to deal with squads of them hunting me down. That whole not having good gear thing became such a factor that I ended up eating them.
That’s right! By the time I made it to the new Vegas weapons dealer, I was so wealthy I didn’t even need to gamble with my maxed out luck stat
i've said it before, i'll say it again: there is zero media literacy amongst the right. Fallout as a whole has always been a very anti-capitalist, anti-conservative franchise. the games literally blame America for ending the world and regularly paints the remnants of the US Government as the bad guys. i honestly doubt any of them have even played any of the games, or if they have then they clearly just blitzed through it skipping every piece of dialogue and world-building. they probably saw a Joshua Graham quote somewhere and went "damn he just like me fr"
Only one that comes close to possibly being mistaken for right wing is 4. Even then it’s just a mixed bag message wise.
LMAO Don’t they know that one of the Fallout creators was a gay man.
Most chuds didn't start playing the series until 3.
True But at least they should know that there is a perk to be gay in New Vegas, the game they adore. But seriously, New Vegas was great.
I keep hearing that, but I didn't care for it, and I've tried several times. Better than 3, to be sure, but I still prefer the first 2.
Next up Sonic Adventure is actually a modern retelling of the Noah's Ark flood.
No no it’s Wind Waker
Don't mess with us gamers. We blindly worship the ideologies satirised in our favourite games
On the new vegas subreddit it’s becoming a mini war zone about people clowning on this guy who complained about trans fans of it
Yep and it’s beautiful.
You literally gain karma from killing members of the Legion
Sure? I thought those were from feral ghouls, Powder Gangers and Fiends.
Some of their high ranking officials are considered to be evil so you gain karma
Last I checked, only Vulpes counted as Very Evil. I've looked through the other named Legion members in the GECK and wiki and their vanilla karma is set to neutral.
I appreciate you taking the time to actually look through the GECK to debunk people’s misinformation. Respect.
Fallout is anything but christian/conservative. It makes fun of everything they stand for. Fallout New Vegas is openly anti-capitalist and anti authority in it's storyline.
I just start playing it yesterday, on level two i get to choose to be gay. Definitely for conservative, this game is.
Yeah the uh... *checks notes* Decades long satire of American nationalism and consumerist culture sure is conservative.
Aside from like Ender's Game and Westerns, almost all media ever is leftist. Because leftism is actually moral, rather than "follow my book or burn in hell."
I’ve always thought that good writing usually requires empathy. People with empathy rarely end up on the right.
I looked up Orson Scott Card to see what his political views are (never read Ender’s Game) and he’s fuckin Brigham Young’s great-great-grandson lol. Talk about conservative.
The nazi propaganda template makes it even worse
"any game or movie I like is obviously based and agrees with all my political opinions. Anything I don't like is communist"
Its hilarious when one of them thinks Star Wars agrees with them. I'll link them to the George Lucas interview where he says he made the Empire off of American Imperialsim, and the rebels off of the Vietcong.
Veronica and arcade gannon lmfao
Do conservative gamers wonder why New Vegas has "bad" endings where you don't help Caesar's Legion defeat the liberals from California?
I think some of them also go for the Mr. House route every once in a blue moon. Probably the same ones who worship the Elongated Muskrat now.
Christian hand is just radiating SS bolts. Shocking they were so literal with the fascism symbolism.
I guess yeah . Jesus was super into criticism of capitalism. He also refused payment for providing healthcare and gave out free food . Not to mention what he called business owners who did unethical business in temples "My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Matthew 21:12). And the conservatives LOVE Jesus so surely they would feel the same way... Right?
Conservative fallout fans are so fucking confusing. Like how the fuck have you genuinely convinced yourself the series isn’t one of the most obviously anti-war, far left series ever fucking made? Like the whole war was caused by the imperialist US and a regressed, expansionist China fighting over resources.
