Fallout Doesnt Have Races. Not In The Same Way That Something Like LOTR Does. People Arent Born Supermutants
Fallout doesn’t have races. Not in the same way that something like LOTR does. People aren’t born supermutants or ghouls, they become supermutants or ghouls after being exposed to enough radiation/ FEV. And they aren't even presented as evil, they are presented as people. In FO3 there’s a whole city of ghouls who just live peacefully and don’t bother anyone. There are evil ghouls, good ghouls, ghouls in lost of different factions. Similarly, in Fallout NV, there’s a town full of supermutants. In FO3, there’s a companion called Fawkes who is a supermutant who only sticks around with you if you have good karma. And I’m struggling to think of any “good race” is Fallout who is presented the same way that say, the Elves are presented in LOTR. Look, I’m mixed race myself I know that racism in media is a huge problem and I’m not a fan of personality traits being assigned to races like they are in DND or LOTR. I’m not saying the Fallout franchise is perfect and admittedly I can only talk about FO3 and NV because I haven’t had the chance to play any of the other games in the series. But I think to say that Fallout does the “good race bad race” thing isn’t really true.
Just in case you were wondering: any piece of media that creates “good” and “bad” races (Skyrim, Fallout, LOTR, D&D, etc), is racist. Any piece of media that presents a single “good” member of an “evil” race, or in which the “evil” members of a race far outnumber the “good” members, is racist. Any piece of media that uses the fact that the evil races are permanently and unchangingly evil - even though there may or may not be exceptions! - to justify the genocide and extermination of that race, is racist.
This is not a Watsonian argument. The relative goodness or evilness of a good or evil race, in that piece of media, is irrelevant. The fact is, if you write a story that pits two different races against one another, and one is deemed good and one is deemed evil, that is racist.

Reblogging my animation cos it took me a while to make and I’m kinda proud ngl
My animation for the Heavy is Dead reanimated project lmao. Took me about 2 weeks to animate.
So like are you truscum bc your reblog was rlly gross you nasty. They didn’t say you wouldn’t have dysphoria , just that you don’t see one way to be what you want. You’re ducking disgusting.
Where did you get the idea of me being a truscum from? What, because I call myself a transsexual instead of transgender and because I believe in brain sex (which is not binary and doesn’t invalidate enby or genderfluid people), all of a sudden I’m a truscum? Thanks a lot mate. Would really have appreciated if you read my pinned post, where I literally state

And what about my reblog was so disgusting? I didn’t say “every trans person needs to have been born with dysphoria like me” or “every trans person need to want surgery”. I spoke about MY experience and that for ME, even if I lived in a society where men weren’t expected to have certain parts, I’d still need bottom surgery because my brain is wired that way. That’s not the case for every trans man, and that’s perfectly fine. I was just saying that people of my experience of being trans is not caused by cis’ people’s hatred or society, and will always exist regardless of what society is like. That doesn’t mean that other experiences of being trans can’t also exist at the same time. In my reblog, I said:

I literally clarified that having less dysphoria than me or having a different experience than me doesn’t make you any less trans. The post was about ME defending MY experience, not trying to shit on anyone else. Also I know that OP probably didn’t mean to invalidate me and I mean no aggression what so ever towards OP.
I’m not a truscum or a tucute, I will respect people as long as they respect me, please never bring the truscum/ tucute debate on my blog again because I want no part of it.
Yes it absolutely does
