Amazing idea for a facebook group for the laughs, though based on the replies telling people to PM them to solve their issue, it seems like it might be the front for a scam.

The Fallout series isn't even really that critical of capitalism as a concept, just capitalism running completely unchecked. It has nothing to say about socialism whatsoever.

I don't know anything about warhammer but one of the funnier things I saw was someone (mad about girls existing) yelling, next you'll be telling me the orcs are gay or non binary or some woke poo poo! And people answer actually the orcs in this universe are a kind of fungi so they are truly non binary, yes

In OSRS yes, I don't know about main game RuneScape. You're not locked into it, you can go over to the island and tell your supposed spouse that actually you made a mistake, and then go into the other room and propose to their sibling or simply walk away unmarried.

Changing the sex of your character's model is free forever (even during that one quest where you have to change sex) and available to non-paying players. There is a gnome that hands out pride scarves in varying colours. A few characters even had just plain old mean dialogue tweaked.

Buncha other stuff, it's all pretty cool except it's all because Blackrock and share prices or something.

e: The Temple Knights quest actually no longer requires you to change player model, but the enemy is weak to a randomly chosen weapon type instead.

Didn't Tim Cain very specifically post some YouTube videos recently talking about how good the show was and how much he loved it?

Like any given game in the Fallout universe only a third of people who claim to like the franchise will like that particular game to begin with. And it's different games for different people.

By "the Fallout series" I mean "the TV series," sorry. We see one Communist meeting where they point out who the main bad guy of the series is and their leader is openly hypocritical. The most said about communism outside the United States is "we have more in common with Chinese people than with corporations." The biggest hero of the season is still pretty much morally gray because that's more interesting TV than being strident. But if you're a twitter chud any suggestion that we live in an imperfect society is a lecture.

I absolutely, positively wish I could be in a position where I believe that nobody could misunderstand managed democracy. I'm jealous of your ability to believe that, and just to clarify, I'm not being a dick or mocking you for being naive. I genuinely wish I could think that.

But no, much like Starship Troopers, there's unironic nazis who think that this media is an endorsement of their fascist beliefs.

There's a relatively small number of especially crazy right-wingers (and some masquerading as lefties, such as Caleb Maupin's "Patriotic Socialists") who believe that the Nazi party leadership was all LGBTQ+, and the reason they burned Hirschfeld's Institute was because he had files on all of them.

this turns out to be a pretty thin ruse, she is also a capitalist operator and her goals are mostly personal ownership of the fusion tech that Vault-Tec stole. you can take this as a criticism of communism but it's pretty clearly not saying anything about communism at all.
