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

playing fallout new vegas and having to listen to caesar complaining about travelling and getting to study the languages of various communities living in the wasteland and calling it a waste of time while irl the humanities are constantly disregarded and getting a higher education and opportunities to study anthropology hands-on costs tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars and requires so many connections and he was just getting that FOR FREE from the followers but that wasnt cool enough for him so he decided to use the education he was given to start his little fascist larper group and enslave people

#the followers are so fucking cool man #the way they just take in jerry the punk without needing any money or like references or anything. and can make him an archival assistant #like aside from being anarchists and stuff the way they just openly and freely share as much of their knowledge theyve preserved #thats what makes them so cool to me #considering that in todays world education like that is so fucking expensive #and knowledge is only appreciated when its seen as 'useful' and exploitable like stem studies #i wanna be an anthropologist man #fnv #followers of the apocalypse #fallout new vegas #fallout #caesar fnv #caesar's legion #talking

Holding hands while you bring the ancient demon you just killed back to life is a weird first date, but ok—

quick pin post, will probably remake later :] intro stuff under the cut!

hi! my name is Vegas!

I’m an adult (though I don’t mind minors interacting with my content, since I don’t really post anything suggestive lol)

I’m a cybersecurity engineer by profession, as well as a college student getting a degree in buisness administration.

Art and fic are a hobby for me, though I still do commissions on the side!

I’m queer, autistic, plural, and physically disabled. I am a part time AAC and mobility aid user. I am married to my long-term partner, though I also have 3 other partners who I love dearly <3

I’m currently VERY hyperfixated on Invader Zim, though this is not an IZ blog lol. I draw stuff for other fandoms, as well as stuff for my OCs.

I don’t have a hard DNI or anything, if you make me uncomfortable I will probably just block you. I encourage you to do the same if you don’t like me/if I’m on your DNI.

I haven’t really posted art on the internet in years (tried about half a year ago, but got nervy and gave up), so I just hope someone sees my art and smiles! :]

more necromancer doodles. u guys will hear more about this guy eventually 💀

#i ran a poll on twitter abt whether it would be funnier for his centipede 'familiar' to be completely useless and unmagical #i.e. literally just a normal giant bug #or if it's funnier for it to be a magical talking centipede but it's still useless and doesn't do anything #it's just that it also sometimes says stuff like 'nhyyeahhhh boss you tell em!!' and 'i'm a woim!!!!!' #but at the end of the day i am going w the former bc. it is very important to me that this character is excruciatingly lonely #and if his giant bug pet could talk to him that would be too much relief. 🖤 #ANYWAY. thats all for now #back to comms #my art #my ocs #vega mauserot

The two types of Benny Gecko freaks are people who got weirdly turned on when he shot the courier in the opening and people who got weirdly turned on by how he looks up at you while down on his knees with his wrists bound when you talk to him at Fortification Hill.
