Title: Fallout's subtle racism
Post by: DirkDigger on March 25, 2011, 05:15:07 pm
I never noticed it before (:o) but aren't we mostly all white caucasian characters in this game?
Aside from the mutated monstruosity excuses made up by white gamemakers who felt they had to include racial diversity in their game, yet failed to include on niggers and chinks?

Hmm...

Just wait till 3d models are done. Then you'll be able to customize your char.

Second: There are black people and chinese people aswell.  ::)

Those inapropriate words were used intentionally within the style of text I wrote.
But my apologies.

maybe it's racism TOWARDS white people, the game developers are trying to say "white people screw everything up"

And it's so fun to burst off thousands of defenseless white bluesuits with avenger or crit-eyes =D

With this logic you could say that most of the games include sublte racism.

Nevertheless I admit that devs (and most of the players) might have some kind aversion to people wearing blue pyjamas in public.

Hmm...

Intentially you say. What you do intentially, is a expression of subtle racism by using racial slurs, covering it up by feigning criticism.

It's probably cus it exists, and so many people are afraid of it... ::)

There is nothing wrong with racism from my point of view.

It's no different than calling a guy who looks country a hick because of the way he talks to calling a black man a *OMGWTFCENSOREDBBQ* because he's sitting on the porch drinking kool-aid.

Yet it's ok to make fun of white people...  It's just those "minorities" that need "Special treatement".

It sickens me.  What America has become specifically, and that it affects 2238.

Fallout is in an alternate dimension where "the 50s" lasted until 2077.
Then got blowded up.


Yet the buildings don't have separate water fountains, toilets, entrances, etc.

Fail.

In Fallout, the gangsters and slum lords are white..

In Fallout, the sheriff is a cool black dude.

In Fallout, the chinese people are like modern chinese people, smart, powerful, cunning, and have bad luck when it comes to getting good leadership

In Fallout, canadia got shit on...

But... black people can't run in Fallout :o

They can.

Post by: RavenousRat on March 26, 2011, 01:15:56 pm
They can.
Yes, smiply metal armor of black male is so heavy, so he don't want to run in it! Also he wants to look cool, so he's always slowly walking to his victim, that's the only reasons why they can't run.

I meant the black Prospector guys who can run just fine.
Yes, because that's the only black males who can run... vault dwellers and metal guys can't.
Prosperctors aren't cool, so they're running.

OP. If you want to have nice dark-brown skin, ask a GM to turn you into a model called "black vault dweller".

Pros: You are black. You've got what you wanted so I guess this is a good side of it.
Cons: You can't run, wear armor, nor can you equip weapons or bear arms.

Why: BVD was originally a character met in a special encounter in FO2 that worn just a blue jumpsuit. There were no weapons to be found in that encounter, so original devs may've decided that BVD wouldn't need any of those abilities. And it stayed that way.
Moar: This set of affair appears to be racist. Black vault dwellers can't run (which is contrary to logic) and defend themselves. The only black models that can do that are that guy who promises you a GECK in Modoc and the caravan master in Hub (same model btw). But they still can't equip armors or run.

I suggest you this dear Dirk. You have SDK, there you have mapper. Feel free to make new maps and new worldmap which will be in Africa continent. It will be your own game, you will be able to have there every nation, every race and you'll be fine.


No, about what are you talking ? Dont make us laugh. There is no racism in this Beta test and dont worry, there are plenty of people which are supervise those who want start something as racism. No worries mate
