The one that’s particularly bad is the picture of Liberty Prime’s decapitated head in a ruined wasteland saying “death is a preferable alternative to communism”. The entire point is that the US were so anti-communist that they destroyed the entire world and slaughtered billions, all for the sake of private property. And chuds look at that and think “wow, epic robot!”
Liberty Prime is really just Mecha-Reagan:
RONALD REAGAN, “EVIL EMPIRE SPEECH” (8 MARCH 1983)
I, a number of years ago, I heard a young father, a very prominent young man in the entertainment world, addressing a tremendous gathering in California. It was during the time of the cold war, and communism and our own way of life were very much on people’s minds. And he was speaking to that subject. And suddenly, though, I heard him saying, “I love my little girls more than anything–” And I said to myself, “Oh, no, don’t. You can’t — don’t say that.” But I had underestimated him. He went on: I would rather see my little girls die now; still believing in God, than have them grow up under communism and one day die no longer believing in God. [Applause]

The man was such a fucking vampire. The Reagan SCP speech is more human and wholesome than the real thing
Fallout fans can really look at the designated villain faction repeatedly trying to genocide literally everyone that’s not them, including the main character, and go “yeah these guys got the right idea” because their power armor looks cool
“Yeah but the Legion got the traders moving on time.”
The slaveholding Legion? With the stupid Roman aesthetic? Yeah they’re bad, kiddos. BoS runs the spectrum of good and evil in most of the games but the Legion is 100% the worst choice for the Wasteland.

I dunno man, I tend to lean LARPing luddite dweebs over mecha-capitalist.

Legion is still capitalist. Have you not seen the merchant in their camp? Or the ongoing slave trade?
Kings are cool, but they’re not doing anything. Followers are the ones doing mutual aid. They still tolerate crime. They even let the Van Graffs seize a plot of land and turn it into private property. They respect them for it.
I mean, there’s one fucking line about the legion doing something of any use to anyone. A single fucking line, and people still support them.
Like, some old nerd decides “hey, what if we took all the worst parts of the Roman empire and made it a thing”, and some sad nerds are still gonna defend it
IMO House-supporters are the worst. Legion is comically villainous so only like the fash minority supports them. But you’ll have entire comment sections devoted to House being the obvious best choice because he says he’ll send a rocket to Mars while wringing money from sex-slaves as most of humanity can barely eat.
So cool that it took about a decade for video games to have a single unique female character. Ms. Pacman is Pacman with a bow so I’m not counting it
I guess old DnD do’s games had female characters, but yea not unique heroes
I only recently got into fallout but you have to be a moron to not see the political undertones
dudes play FFVII and then defend elon musk on twitter
