"Don't Make _____ Political" | Fallout Show Analysis 

REAL! I totally agree.

Acting like media literacy is in any way important. I couldn't imagine letting politics live rent free my head.

​@@lukeshaffer5011you clicked on the video. Clearly it's lingering in there somewhere.

@@lukeshaffer5011 It's less about letting "Politics" live rent free in your head, and more about becoming a well rounded critical thinker. Whether you like it or not, you live in a society that is decided by people's political philosophies. You can choose to live life free of that thought as best you can, but don't go complaining when other people make choices without you. Or you can choose to be more mindful of messages, rhetoric, and ideas that influence day to day life, and take part in making a world that both you and others want to live in.

"Don't make things political" is a dog whistle. What they really mean is "keep minorities out of media".

That scene with Matt Berry and Coop at the pool had a line that I took to be a sneaky shot at Amazon. When Matt Berry says that he didn't get much $ for voicing Mr. Handy because "Robco bought the studio..."

No, it's likely that they really think that's how it works (see the writer interview, they are convinced is the true message). They have decades of material to show how rotten and immoral those corpo are (in a believable way) but they went for cartoonish. Austin powers doctor evil would laugh at those.

​@@marcofogli4317 in the games that's how they are.

@@VEE0034 This is a blatant lie, you have no idea what you are talking about sorry. In the games they are evil, not dumb. How is it even possible to get to this conclusion if you ever played even one game (maybe except 76)? Never heard of the military, enclave and government and their generation ship program? Because that is why they run those experiments. Its twisted but make sense. You never noticed that in the game the military, government, vault tec and even the enclave are completely gone, destroyed, nothing of those organization stands?

When Fallout 3 released the masterpiece that is GTA 4 was already making waves with its realistic physics and mechanics Bethesda is lazy AF

Fallout 4 politics are more about personal liberties, none of the factions of F4 want to stablish a new regime, neither change what already works, caps, upper class, rulling class, only the Minutemen is interested in city-states, the BoS doesn't tamper with the civilian population, Railroad doesn't care at all about the rest of the world OG Fallouts and New Vegas are about sociopolitical conflicts, gun runners, Mr House, Mob city states like New Reno, Brahamin Barons, currency making, economy, imperialist campaigns, rebel tribes

it was about bethesda's Fallout 3 being the mechanical foundation, the literal engine of how you move, fight, etc

Bethesda isn't an arsonist. Interplay burned down because they weren't selling games, so Bethesda bought Fallout and now its a very popular franchise with a TV show. Bethesda saved Fallout from the ashes of Interplay, whether you like the direction they took, it doesn't matter. Fallout only exists today because of Bethesda.

this comment is so gay. remove your fedora and go outside weirdo

It makes a fictional world feel alive and is a good thing, thought provoking. The mistake is when people think they must translate their real world politics in a fictional setting, it does not mix well and comes out as a mess.

Actually no mods! I am gonna mod up new vegas soon tho. I only got a pc recently, so I've only modded skyrim and fallout 3 so far.

​@@BludPandaII Oh nice! And good luck. I've been playing the PS3 version (on a mac in an emulator because no native mac support ;( ) so I guess I've just gotten very used to 720p lmao

There is no difference between having a bit of spinach on your plate to complement the rest of the dish versus someone shoving can after can of spinach down your throat with their fist. No, sir, no difference at all. Funny thing is, this is probably gonna come to a boil eventually and cause a violent backlash that will set us back years.

yeah, in New Vegas just in your team you have two homosexual people, a soldier who was ordered to do an oopsie and now has PTSD and two people who are discriminated because of their looks

Here's your medal 🎖

@@BludPandaII Hey just lookin out for you kid. people may not watch with illiteracy shown in the first second. Apparently, you're not going to change it and dont care, so take care

minor spelling mistake, i win

​@@crxw4"i win " ysme from emperor's new groove lmao

do you have anything of value to add or are you just being pedantic?

Take your bait elsewhere because nobody cares.

@@goblin3810 Next season will really ramp up the agendas, then hopefully be cancelled by season 2 or 3.

Everyone loves to hate on California, yet never visit or speak to legit anyone who lives there 🤦‍♂

Obviously blade runner is a philosophical story primarily about androids and I'm sure the original book was more focused on those sci-fi elements, but EVEN IF the androids [a slave class in a capitalist society who are hunted when they escape] is not a euphemism for fascist society or caste systems, the theme you've presented sounds like a very deep one that could easily relate to real life. That book and film came out in an era when technology was advancing at an insane rate and they didn't know were it would go. Your idea of "political" means is really shallow...like what I am trying to argue in this video is that people should think more about the themes they are consuming and question how they relate to the real world. Blade Runner has a lot to say, it's not just for entertainment, the author wanted us to think about it I hope. Fallout has a lot to say too, and a lot of it is philosophical and clearly political as factions take on different ideologies inspired from real life. When I say something is political I don't mean it relates to the current politics of America, I just mean it relates to societal issues and conditions as a whole. which Blade Runner definitely does, or at least many interpret it that way. The fact that you know who wrote the original blade runner and what the author meant by it is exactly what I want, I want people to care about writing and themes, not just about fun and mere escapism all the time.

@@BludPandaII saying all media is political is a shallow argument. "The man in the high castle" was Dick's definitive work on fascism, because of his mental issues, PKD focused on a single subject and took it to a conclusion.

To guys like the author of this video fascism is like a mythological anathema that they have structured their hollow lives around opposing. You might as well tell a Christian that not everything bad is Satan.

Just to remind you...this is FALLOUT you're talking about dude...life being horrible is the whole point of the wasteland. I literally addressed series that aren't meant to be thematic, and Fallout is not one of them. Nonetheless you can still play Fallout 3 and New Vegas and have tons of fun without engaging much with the story, stop pretending any gate keeping is occurring here. Just asking for good writing, pretty simple.

stop gatekeeping my bad life simulations. f*ck my life. i love having a bad life. I love exploring my bad life in bad video games. but i love good video games that exclusively explore my bad f*cking life. i love games about bad life. and no call of dooty shooting. i love sitting on my couch. and laying upside down. im in your walls.

This comment above was edited btw to be nicer. The video is not meant to look down on people, if people really do get upset then it means I must have said something of importance to them. Says more about them than me, it's not personal, it's for dramatic effect.

​​@@BludPandaII Where did I ever say Fallout needed to be changed? Oh, right, I didn't. I just don't feel the need to constantly be reminded how Racism/Communism/America bad. When I'm in the wasteland, I'm there to help people, kill bad guys, and witness tragic stories. I'm not there to ponder the social/political landscape of a fictional world. And that's applicable to both old and new Fallout.

​@@harrington9482 I think I legitimately became dumber trying to read that. I love how the go to is always "Call Of Duty bad." I haven't played COD for 15 years, but go off I guess.

Ah yes, the game that is specifically about the aftermath of global geo-politics and capitalism is not political 🤡

@@majimasmajimemes1156 you are just an appealed political customer. Bet McDonalds got you in its pocket too

@@elwholerdawg, vault-tec is a corporation that does evil things for profit... that’s a bit political, isn’t it? In fallout, you’re literally choosing between factions, and sure that might apply to modern politics, but even stuff like “NCR vs. Legion” has inherent political weight as the NCR is a democratic republic and the legion is a fascist Rome-wannabe. I get that not everything in fallout is political, but you can’t look at the series and say there’s nothing inherently political in it.

@@Clarkamadorian sure. but the thing here is that most, if not every political biased player and content creators tend to ignore completely what the narrator claims. In order to coneive Fallout as a political franchise, you need to ingore the narrator. They just pick the "war... war never changes" thing and that's it haha. Bethesda is pleased by political players anyways, just like McDonalds.

@@elwholer aight I guess sure

Bruh shut up. He's not asking for money, he's asking for a costless sub so that he can be compensated for the work he's put into your free entertainment.
