Kinda? The Fallout series definitely attracts these kind of people, but the message of the games go completely over their heads. Because they can play out their facist fantasies, they don't realize how those routes are showing what's fucked up about that kind of thinking. If they could realize that sort of thing, they wouldn't be have those sorts of fantasies in the first place.

That's my point, fascists idolize factions like the Enclave, Legion, or even Brotherhood, despite overt text and subtext decrying their views. The Fallout series as a whole is leftist, but is well-known for having a large subset of the fan base that is overtly fascist.

At least in 3, the brotherhood was a bit more morally gray/good

4 turned it right back around though lol

Yea, but tbf I was pretty clearly referring to the 1/2/NV/4 strains of BoS. Even in 3, though, they are racist against non-ferals and you can't really confront them on that.

True true, I was just adding to the nuance :)

Oh, welp, I was only thinking in context of the starterpack that was posted and not the added comment. My bad
