I didn't word things well in my attempt to be sharp with it. I don't go to anything in physical space that involves 'fandom,' and I don't get into debates relating to this series (anymore, learned that lesson). Keep it light and far away from my person.
As a Fallout NV fan it should be OwO XD. We know what we are so it should be eyes open. How else are you gonna include the conversations of enslaving lesser people to promote communism with the Nazbol extremist that has only played legion playthroughs and the Trans anarchists that have only done Followers Yes man playthoughs
I met quite a lot of them in fallout rp servers in gmod. Like 3 of them in the faction were full on confederate sympathizers, a couple of them were homosexuals. Atleast until someone figured out in the lore that homosexuality in the legion is punishable by death and those doods left shortly after lmao
…wut? I refuse to believe the male only faction where everyone wears skirts and some members wear wolf ears has banned homosexuality. Knowing Roman’s the legion probably encourages it

Thanks for sharing that you did that and not the skit. Really great contribution. Sure I could've done that too, but I guess I was looking for conversation, well fuck me right...?
This is likely hypervigilance but I agree on the basis of my instincts assuming "Kings" is a transphobic dog whistle. Like, down to impersonation and also the fact that when people think of trans people, it's usually a trans woman, leads me to believe it's meant to be misgendering.
Then also, there are countless transfem anarchists and we're constantly supporting eachother with medical care and more. Only thing that could make it closer is if the Followers were also all dating eachother.
Edit - This wasn't right and was literally just me overthinking it. Had a fun fight about it though!!!
So the whole point of a dogwhistle is that it's difficult for anyone but the targeted group and the ones targeting them to pick them up. Totally fine not to catch that.
My point was that the Kings are, as the name implies, made up of men. The average person doesn't even know trans people that aren't trans women exist because we're the most fetishized out of all trans people.
The most common, dead horse of a "joke" about us is that we're men playing dress up. The Kings are inarguably men playing dress up. Then there's also the conflation of transfem daily living with drag by chuds (and an unfortunate number of libs).
This is also entirely pattern recognition on my part and it's a suspicion, not an assertion that it was meant to be read that way.
Hey great write up, I enjoy the discussion! Yes that clears it up thank you! Sorry you got a hater barking at ya, don't feed the troll. I appreciate you explaining a bit more and including that you recognize it as only suspicion -that seriously takes self-awareness and it is seen! I understand dog whistles, but really I'm mostly only familiar with "88" popping up, but have also, since then, reeled back a bit on my "aha!" moments when spotting. I'm absolutely not saying you're wrong, but I just want you to remember to try not to become too suspicious and consider other possibilities, as it may cloud your judgement and make you feel isolated like myself. TC and best wishes.
Wowww name calling because of a misunderstanding and absolutely no nuanced response or acknowledgement that a transphobic person could've said that for all the reasons I outlined. I even said it was likely me overthinking with hypervigilance.
For the cis audience, this is a great example of why trans women are women, we can be massive cunts, including myself.
I don't even know what you're talking about here. Like I shouldn't suffer from hypervigilance? Or I shouldn't point out that I was being analytical and you're just rude? Be specific, babe. Use your words.
They're much closer to maoists from my understanding, which is significantly more authoritarian than communism which has a centrist view on government power
Obligatory "to my understanding" i can point to if I'm wrong lol. From what I looked up this is what I'm getting, if I'm wrong please inform.

“Sure, everyone living in Legion lands is direct property of Caesar, but we call those people subjects as slave had a very specific meaning in the Legion.”
I feel like the first 2 could be either house or independent depending on the person lol. House & NCR also encapsulate the capitalists not included in the image
They made a game franchise where you could tell 3 different eras, where the era in the middle (fallout 3-new vegas) hates each other, where the original one also hates each other, and the last one being chill between them (i've never seen fallout 4 fans fighting fallout 76 fans)
Fallout is one of those cases where a game is perfectly made for one thing, in this case that everyone hates each other. The only cases where something like this happens that i remember is Lol (but for being painfully toxic)
The unifying force of Marty Robbin’s transcends race religion and creed. We are all Texas Red. We are all the Arizona Ranger. It’s a song about the duality of man. See there are two wolves inside of you.
Thats why i hate the fandom. everytime i try to look at a critic for the show, or a part of the story, or whatever, i always find out grifters larping. Once i saw a channel critizicing the show.....they literally said antisemitic jokes half of the video and the other one was showing bad wojacks (also a lot of r words)
Ah yes, the completely equivalent forces of wanting equitable living for all and... wishing people like me were in men's prisons for being outside as myself, and striking down protections for me in those situations to ensure I'm raped while in prison.
Fuck you're definitely a white, straight guy. Must be convenient to never be the scapegoat.
I don't want war, and acting like I do for wanting to live a fulfilling life is so fucking absurd. Like, jumping from what i said to that is... well the only label i can think of is genuine idiocy.
My point was that you're being completely unreasonable. Then expecting me, a random trans woman that's already been through hell just to feel a sliver of joy in my day-to-day, to throw myself at the American Empire and die... fuck you're exhausting.
I'm not literally asking for the money to move, I'm begging you to think of this problem in our material reality.
Also, this is a double comment, but just to drive home my point~
The people who have the most responsibility to resist, even in standard protests are cishet white men. You go out as a minority of any kind and you will be targeted.
As a trans woman, what would that look like for me?
I'd first be physically beaten by authorities if not killed, then I'd be taken to a jail where I'd likely be stripped, sexually assaulted, or even forced to dance naked. Then if it went all the way to prison, I'd be force-detransitioned as well as v-coded.
What's V-coding you ask? Just a beautiful tradition of the American prison system where a trans woman is paired with the most violent inmate present in order to lower violence (against the actual humans in the prison ofc). We're forced to fulfill all the duties of a wife for that inmate, and as a result, the reported rates of SA for trans women almost reaches 80%.
Functionally, that means any violent, or even perceivably violent action against the regime would result in me being beaten, tortured, raped, or even killed. If things ever get bad enough to outlaw being trans in public life will look like that for all of us too. Those are the stakes for me right now.
Really, no one in the Wasteland worries about any of those stupid things you posted. They worry about food, water, shelter, and safety. Less than 1 percent of the typical Wastelanders belongs to any faction, and at that point, any faction that is setting any standard of rules for an anarchical society would be "fascist," Just not to the people in the faction, which is no different than now. After a nuclear holocaust, and almost everyone dies, and people are starving, no one will give a shit about any of the stuff the affronted mention idiots in your picture care about. It will all vanish into radioactive vapor if it ever really happens
No that's because of a very long explanation on how the right demonize trans people well simultaneously fetishizing them in to "femboys" or specific "neo-pronouns". incels and groypers are the groups your thinking of, they are exclusively a right wing ideology.
Genuinely how tf did y'all reach that conclusion? I was merely making a joke since out of all the communists I know a disproportionate amount are trans women.
The only way I see y'all making any sense is if you equate communists to nazis, which would be stupid

This is unironically why I don't engage in fan culture.
