Big big fan of SI employees being intimidated by Tony at first because wtf iron man is my boss but then a couple months into the job they see Tony in the same room as Steve and realize he's just a science nerd with a big dorky crush on Captain America there's nothing to fear he's just like us fr

I always forget just how good Mrs. America is

The cinematography, the soundtrack choices, the costuming, the way the every day tasks of cleaning, caring for children, and negotiating relationships are put on par with the national political theater. Dahvi Waller you are the love of my life

Mrs. America

Brief one here.  Ms. America was a limited series released back in 2020.  it’s about the fight to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment back in the 1970′s.  I wouldn’t say this is a completely accurate telling of the story, or rather, it only tells part of the story.  Phyllis Schlafly definitely did play a major role in making sure that the Amendment wasn’t ratified, but she wasn’t the only one fighting against it (lobbyists for insurance companies, for instance, probably had at least as big an effect on the Amendment not passing).  However, the idea that women fighting against women didn’t have an affect on the outcome is also disingenuous.  And it’s not just Schlafly.  Concerns of Women of Color and women who were LGBTQ, were constantly shoved to the side.  Abortion was another hot topic issue.  The fact is, while the majority of the reason why the ERA wasn’t passed is because of those who were against it; it can be argued that the infighting/refusal to acknowledge the issues facing all women (not just white women) made it easy for the proponents to win.

A devastating and confusing thing about the Fallout setting, when you explore the pre-war aspects, is what the creators think about pre-war America. In the first games we only get hints of the pre-war world, but they seem to be some sort of wild fascist nation invading Canada. In Fallout 1, the first thing we're introduced to of the pre-war society is seeing a soldier shoot civilians and laughing.

Now, for the first 2 games and New Vegas we don't really know much. What we know is that there's a fascist military group known as the enclave who were a sort of US deep state even before the war, and that the government teamed up with corporate interests to preform vaguely MKULTRA-ish experiments with the Vaults. Basically, the government was an extreme version of the 50s American jingoism and McCarthyism.

This is well and dandy, I guess issues come up more when we get to the later games, especially 4, where it seems like none of this extreme plotting and societal civil unrest which would exist is seen. The society as presented in 4 also seems quite progressive, gay people are featured in the opening, and none of the baggage of say, civil rights not existing are included. Now on a baseline, I don't want settings to be more conservative, homophobic and sexist etc., but it becomes a very confusing setting when it's displayed both as this jingoist extreme thing with fascist tendencies aswell as a progressive place where everyone is seemingly equal. If you're focusing on the 50s as your setting, and American nationalism in the 50s, then you can't have McCarthyism spoofs and anti-communism as a societal paranoia norm while also general equality is the norm without misunderstanding why McCarthyism and nationalist jingoism is bad. A massive harm done in anti-communist paranoia is how it degrades and vilifies any progressive movements (women's rights, civil rights, homosexuality) as being morally un-American and therefore connected to communism. To ignore this just makes any critique of MacCarthyism and jingoism weird!

Basically, pre-war America in Fallout 4 becomes this both sides thing where America is both pure and equal and white fences in every instance that we see as the player (the intro), while also supposedly being this dystopic MacCarthyist hellscape that's broadcasting gladly about their war crimes in Canada, and wants to root out communism. I guess the only fix for this issue without getting into the fine print like they had to do is just not to focus too much on the pre-war world.

#fallout #fallout 1 #fallout 2 #fallout 3 #fallout 4 #fallout new vegas #fo1 #fo2 #fonv #fo4 #I'm almost half-way through the show #it suffers from this too but whatever I'm just going to count it as it's own thing #it gets a pass or whatever. telling a video game story and telling a tv-series is completely different #they can do what they think is useful. #We see a bit of what the I'm talking about in New Vegas with mr house being able to be that rich etc #but new vegas cares more about the fallout of Fallout 2 + new ideas than some pre-war America. The most we get is like Poseidon energy and #Raul. but Raul doesn't really care that much about the details of the past world #his life seems pretty normal. it's not that important. #dead money and owb did this like... Okay. wasn't too bad it was fine. I don't like those DLCs too much. Dean Domino is whatever

me finding out that my fear of williams giving logan the repaired chassis is coming true

#f1 #williams what the fuck #i was rooting for you we were all rooting for you!! #give mr america his undamaged chassis back!!! #alex crashed his so he can drive the repaired one #(none of this is alex's fault it rests on the team) #(but he did crash his car and therefore should drive the repaired one imo) #logan sargeant #williams racing #how can you expect logan to get better and improve when you're constantly showing him that you actually don't believe in him at all
