This thing is very weird in the show too..
Like you have pre-war asian and black scientists featured in Vault Tec commercial (a company I always thought is nefariously racist/classist n xenophobic while still being corrupt capitalist)...And its.. IF THERE IS RED SCARE FEARMONGERING, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE CHINESE GOING ON, THEY WOULDNT HAVE DONE THAT... It wouldnt have been lucrative..It wouldnt have been allowed by the state... At that point they wouldnt even pretend...(The annexation of Canada would be on tv at the same time, with the shooting n waving into the camera..full on jingoist fascist mode)
Similarly as having varied representation in the vault tec comapny itself in execs places... Those people WOULDNT HAVE COME UP WITH THE EUGENICS PROGRAM TRIAD VAULT...Or at least wouldnt have been fine with it (staring at Betty n Barb etc.)...No way...
*If you want to make actual political/corporate villains you have to put the racism/xenophobia somewhere.
**to reflect our own problems one actually has to reflect our actual present n history..and I know fallout should be reflecting plenty, so characters should still react and act accordingly. (wwii happened, nazis were a thing, slavery was a thing, american confederation was a thing etc etc etc.)
***I get it from doilist perspective that they had to put the representation somewhere but its just so so damn weird...
A devastating and confusing thing about the Fallout setting, when you explore the pre-war aspects, is what the creators think about pre-war America. In the first games we only get hints of the pre-war world, but they seem to be some sort of wild fascist nation invading Canada. In Fallout 1, the first thing we're introduced to of the pre-war society is seeing a soldier shoot civilians and laughing.
Now, for the first 2 games and New Vegas we don't really know much. What we know is that there's a fascist military group known as the enclave who were a sort of US deep state even before the war, and that the government teamed up with corporate interests to preform vaguely MKULTRA-ish experiments with the Vaults. Basically, the government was an extreme version of the 50s American jingoism and McCarthyism.
This is well and dandy, I guess issues come up more when we get to the later games, especially 4, where it seems like none of this extreme plotting and societal civil unrest which would exist is seen. The society as presented in 4 also seems quite progressive, gay people are featured in the opening, and none of the baggage of say, civil rights not existing are included. Now on a baseline, I don't want settings to be more conservative, homophobic and sexist etc., but it becomes a very confusing setting when it's displayed both as this jingoist extreme thing with fascist tendencies aswell as a progressive place where everyone is seemingly equal. If you're focusing on the 50s as your setting, and American nationalism in the 50s, then you can't have McCarthyism spoofs and anti-communism as a societal paranoia norm while also general equality is the norm without misunderstanding why McCarthyism and nationalist jingoism is bad. A massive harm done in anti-communist paranoia is how it degrades and vilifies any progressive movements (women's rights, civil rights, homosexuality) as being morally un-American and therefore connected to communism. To ignore this just makes any critique of MacCarthyism and jingoism weird!
Basically, pre-war America in Fallout 4 becomes this both sides thing where America is both pure and equal and white fences in every instance that we see as the player (the intro), while also supposedly being this dystopic MacCarthyist hellscape that's broadcasting gladly about their war crimes in Canada, and wants to root out communism. I guess the only fix for this issue without getting into the fine print like they had to do is just not to focus too much on the pre-war world.
#fallout is absurd but it has twisted logic to it#i wish i could word things better#but ugh#brain soup#bethany esda fallout weird#i feel the show not getting into this made it kinda shallow n toothless#n the deeper you go the weirder the implications get#cant have your cake n eat it too or whatever

Way too many of my friends and family members lived through the traumatizing childhood event where they had a favorite pet rabbit or a chicken, n then they were served food made out of that pet...While asking the question "So, uhm, where did my pet x/y disappear to?"
#where did mr bunny go#grandpa points at the skinned rabbit skin gently swinging in the breeze#is this just a slav thing?#or just countriside thing in general#special countriside grandparents joke#aw you love that rabbit or chimkin#you will love it in a soup too
