A Development Team That Looks Like This Could Not Possibly Have Any Preconceived Biases Against Black

a development team that looks like this could not possibly have any preconceived biases against Black people. noooo way. its just a mistake that all of the Black people in fo4 are slaves or named after fascist colonizers or murdered or stereotypical conspiracy freaks. there is no way that the reality of this team is reflected in the art they create over and over and over and over and over and over and

my friend john loves fallout more than anyone i know. i owe much of my success to his support and expertise. he's very autistic. he's trying to talk himself out of going to the ER

he's been very sick for days. the last time he asked his family for financial help they gave him a unit of cryptocurrency that could not be converted directly into money.

the urgent care gave him paperwork saying he could die. ive convinced him to head to the ER. please help him if you can

I can't get over that one of Emil Pagliarulo's main narriative techniques is to "write what you know." Despite this THEY KEEP FUCKING WRITING SLAVERY. Especially with how ethnically homogenous the team seems to be. This shows in the way they have pretty much nothing to say about it. There's no effort put into showing you why and how people get to the mental point where they deem it acceptable to own people. Like I think the Powder Gangers are a better case where we see that NCR uses criminality to dehumanize the convicts and make them enemies against civilization in the eyes of an NCR civilian. The Paradise Falls and Nuka World slavers, however, get to own slaves because "they are strong and slaves are weak." If the NCR fails to adequately assert their narrative about slavery, both convicts and civilians alike will start to challenge this. The slavers in 3/4 don't need to assert a narrative, their narrative is actually proven true throughout the course of the games. They are strong, people don't rise against them because those people are too weak. In both cases you can turn the tide because you are meant to be stronger than the slavers or you can lead them by proving your strength. Overall, even if all those things were considered, I just don't see why slavery has to be present in every Fallout game, especially when the later ones aren't bold enough to give you a complex moral statement on literally anything let alone something so serious.

"you continue to organize your little secret lib army against us" your website is barely-secretly-racist and i am refusing to build the lie with you. fuck off

Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.

“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.

this is vile

STANDING ROCK INDIAN RESERVATION, S.D. — Ray Taken Alive had been fighting for this moment for two years: At his urging, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council was about to take the rare and severe step of banishing a nonprofit organization from the tribe’s land.

The Lakota Language Consortium had promised to preserve the tribe’s native language and had spent years gathering recordings of elders, including Taken Alive’s grandmother, to create a new, standardized Lakota dictionary and textbooks.

But when Taken Alive, 35, asked for copies, he was shocked to learn that the consortium, run by a white man, had copyrighted the language materials, which were based on generations of Lakota tradition. The traditional knowledge gathered from the tribe was now being sold back to it in the form of textbooks.
