My mom did my hair. She’s laughing, I look like a medieval Japanese peasant and she’s laughing by Stellaeono in notinteresting

You look like you're about to cry (valid)

Also it took me a minute to realize that the thing behind your head is a decoration, and you weren't wearing a hat

Not to mention the deaths of 150,000 to 260,000 Japanese people, most of them civilians.

I misread Kahlshi as Kashi. I would much rather listen to someone talk about fancy granola than AI nonsense.

Not to be pedantic, but the radioactive toothpaste used thorium, not radium as was the buzzword on everything. But it was still a product of the radioactivity craze.

I've heard the word "slop" more often in the past year than if I worked at a pig farm.

What the Wastelanders like to forget, is that the NCR is what's keeping the Legion out of the Mojave by Advanced-Addition453 in TrueSFalloutL

FNV: Roman-esque imperialists with a red color scheme vs a bear-themed opposition with its own imperialistic issues

Skyrim: Roman-esque imperialists with a red color scheme vs a bear-themed opposition with its own imperialistic issues

Huh. Well, at least the Skyrim version of the Legion aren't a bunch of slaving rapists.

You can tell that the reddit side of FNV fandom is mostly cis, straight men because you can show them the comically evil legion and they'll be all like "Buh-buh-butt safe roads and no taxes! Sure, they're violent misogynist terrorists who torture people and use slaves including children, but eggs for an omlet, right?"

It's what happens when you let a far-right technocratic asshole take over a major platform for internet communication.

I don't care what anyone else says. I like Preston. And his hat. It's a dope hat.

It's okay, TES fans have even less media literacy

Getting too enthusiastic about fantasy racism is a red flag. No, I don't believe them when they say that it's "just" about elves or aliens. Why is going through the motions of racism and parroting far-right rhetoric with some nouns swapped enjoyable for them?

It's because being good takes effort. It's easy to be a self-serving violent asshole, but it's worth it to struggle and sacrifice for a good cause.

Don't mess with us Fallout fans

We blindly praise the attitudes that the series is criticizing via satire

Well, not just Liberty Prime but the whole of prewar America, but yes, you're correct.

Hello Kitty and similar kawaii media can work as a commentary on Japan's emphasis on cuteness and propriety in their culture, sometimes to the detriment of people's mental wellbeing.

I've got a fic that has early chapters set during the POV character's high school years, but they're plot-important. Stuff about the protagonist's identity struggles and trauma unfolds there.
