Why did people let this shit slide?

Fallout 3 had this too but to a fraction of the extent with Sarah lyons being the only real example albeit with valid reasoning behind it

Wow it's almost as if two centuries had passed

>>714347305 (OP)
are you talking about violetta who is protected by a pack of dogs? cook-cook rapes that one NCR chick and that turns her into a lesbian. The only thing it doesn't do is have an explicit raider sex slave camp

>Back then?
People didn’t care too much back then. It was a better time then.
>Now?
People still don’t care too much. But… To be fair, the franchise was pretty “woke” even during the classic games. In FO1-FO2, there are women raiders, leaders, and shop owners in an atomic punk (1950s aesthetic) post apocalyptic wasteland. But, FNV is still so well liked because no other game does what New Vegas does. Where are the other first person open world action RPGs, with a faction system, that allows me to kill anyone I want and gives me a lot of freedom to approach the game?

>Causally presents the most unrealistic depiction of women
Is this why troons like it so much?

>>714347305 (OP)
Fallout's had female leaders since 2

>>714348095
Since 1*

>>714348147
There's like one in 1

Women are made for sex and taking care of the household. Having a wife and multiple children is the way God intended us to be. I cannot be happier than pumping more and more children into my wife. Praise God

>>714348443
>Followers of the Apoc: Nicole

More like 2

>>714348095
And thats still bad writing. This isn't a boomer fallout purism thread.

>protag’s main motive is finding women to rape
Lots of post apocalypse setting tend to be pussies when it comes to showing how shit the condition of women would be. Also if you show it, you would be accused of sexism by implying that men dominating women is our primal state and not cause le evil patriarchy.

>>714347305 (OP)
>>culture supposed to be heavily inspired by a version of America that never left the 1950s
yeah and then that culture died when the world got nuked and all that's left is billboards for soda and shitty cars. the old world was supposed to be dead

>>714347305 (OP)
Lanius specifically requesting for the MALES of his former tribe to be murdered implies that primitive patriarchal societies are still a thing in the Fallout universe, and likely the norm. Caesar making an exception for the boys and integrating them into his army is actually pretty progressive in context.
The game doesn't hate the Legion, most of the characters you interact with do, and that's because they are Californians who descend from Vault Dwellers and still maintain some progressive views from the Old World (pre-war Fallout was culturally more similar to the 1990's than the 1950's), which is also why they don't mind women in positions of power. Ironically, Caesar himself is a Californian who shares those views, and is only using the Legion as means to conquer the NCR.
Even in the world of Fallout the West Coast is considered "woke", and using that to judge the setting as a whole is not fair.

>>714347305 (OP)
That is what Fallout always was from the start. The series never had a realistic portrayal of social dynamics post societal collapse. Khans seem to have absolute gender equality among themselves, and their raid planner and second in command are both women in Fallout 1 for example.

>>714347305 (OP)
I'm glad to hear you gave it another chance, Varg.

>>714351296
yup…. but, I’d be lying if I said I fully support keeping this a thing. the grounded commonwealth mod feels more natural compared to the vanilla game

>>714347305 (OP)
its been 200 years since the 50s.
look how much the world changed in only 70 years since the 50s.
look how much the world changed in only 15 years since the 2010.

>>714347305 (OP)
>game compliments you to your face for being evil and strokes your ego
its all part of the roleplaying
you wouldnt get it

>>714352434
The difference is the shit we have now compared to back then is because of kikes forcing poopskins, faggots, and women into everywhere. In Fallout, the jews would be dead and things would be more natural

>>714347305 (OP)
Only bethslop heavily focuses on the "le wacky 50s aesthetic", in the actual Fallout games the 50s stuff is there to make allusions to the cold war and to show how vastly different the wasteland is to the old world

>its another autist struggling with suspending his disbelief thread

>>714349679
The Death of Grass and it's movie adaptation No Blade of Grass are pretty good in that regard, though it is funny how it literally takes like 5 minutes from the 1950s British society collapsing until the country is full of post-apocalyptic rape gangs and such.

>>714352651
actually the world's elite would be in the vaults that didnt have a socail experiement attached to them. so they would have had the highest rate of survival.

Yeah, America in the 1950s was firmly ruled by jews and was already well on the way of enfaggenation and niggerification.

>>714353228
The world’s elites are in the Enclave. The goyim are put into the Vaults. Never played Fallout 2?

Are you implying Rome was some kind of feminist paradise? Depending on the culture, your average post Rome state was probably more likely to allow women to do shit culturally than Rome did.

>>714353780
Enclave has like ten million other bases all around America.

Name one.

>culture supposed to be heavily inspired by a version of America that never left the 1950s
Pre-war, this is post war where people mostly just copy aesthetics will little to no care of what they actually represented or meant. A big example of this are the Kings and the King himself.
>the game goes out of its way to chastise the legion for this
You mean the characters who are mostly from groups that dislike the Legion?

>>714347305 (OP)
Damn dude, you can just say you want to fuck kids and turn them into property. It's a fucking crazy opinion but you shouldn't need to beat around the bush with this trad cope nonsense.

>>714348443
Nichole led the Followers and Razor led the Blades.

woman moment

>>714352008
This take is retarded because why the fuck is wrong with a woman knowing how to use a gun? Wouldn’t you want a potential wife to know how to do shit like hunt?

>>714353979
fall of the USSR

>>714354294
The tacit implication of this shit is the normalization of walking back age of consent laws by appealing to traditionalism. It's all failure to launch virgins who want to be able to fucking buy child brides. The slippery slope is on both sides of the peak, call them what they are.

>>714354359
The vast majority of women kept working after the fall of the USSR.

>>714354359
Russian women still do more abortion and divorce than American women.

>>714353869
Lmao western european women actually lost some rights when the Renaissance came, due to people wanting to be closer to the example of roman and greek law

>>714355393
Same happened to women in Texas when it joined the USA, because the prior Texan legislation was still based on Spanish laws that gave women more rights than Anglo-American laws.

>>714355393
Exactly. It's retarded and shows how people have a warped view of history (Also know nothing about Imperial Rome after a certain point, but that's normal).

>>714347305 (OP)
>culture supposed to be heavily inspired by a version of America that never left the 1950s
Immediately wrong. Stick to Fallout Shelter, retard

>>714347305 (OP)
>1950s
That's Bethesda's fanfiction.
Pre-war Fallout in the original games was 90s futurism with a 50s aesthetic. Notice how conflict that became WW3 didn't start as an ideological struggle, but rather a desperate fight for the remaining natural resources, which was what people from the 90s were concerned about.
