THIS!!!!!! It’s ALWAYS the short-sighted or idealistic or some stupid shit. Every group has ideals and a specific goal they are working towards dipshit!!! And Desdemona and Deacon (two of the highest ranking members) are also very pro-helping humans!!

Dez says "Killing us humans should be the absolute last resort, Glory, not the first." when Glory kills a human while on a mission (in this specific case I kind of agree w/ Glory more but that's a whole other post).

She also talks about how important saving the innocent, human, Institute members is when the RR forms their final plan for destroying the Institute. "PAM believes their destruction is absolutely necessary. But the Institute isn't just populated by diabolical scientists. Families live there. Children. If we destroy them, we're going to evacuate more than just Synths."

Deacon's opinion is very clear. "...my view is that we're really in it to help everyone. Humans, synths, and everything in between." And he even mentions trying to have the Railroad help out both humans and synths. "I wish Dez would green light the occasional mission to help out humans." Desdemona has the final say as the leader but even though she agrees with Deacon they just don't have the resources to try to save everyone in existence at the moment.

After the game (given you side with them) Railroad flags appear in Diamond City. This makes me think that their goals have expanded now that they have more people on their side (as evidenced by some dialogue from DC security guards) and don't have to hide from the Institute anymore.

Before the Institute is dead they have to narrow their focus if they want to help anyone. And as Victoria Watts (a member of the Railroad in Fallout 3) says, “...there are others in the Wasteland who assist in the plight of human slaves. Our android brethren have only us."

But the rightwing gamer youtubers don't give a fuck abt the text of the game or the reasoning behind the faction's actions and beliefs. They just care about how cool power armor looks and how fun it is to cosplay being in the military and mow down random NPCs.

There is nothing that infuriates me more than video essay YouTubers who make video essays about how the Railroad is the worst faction in Fo4 without even having played or seen most of the content for the faction!!! The amount of ppl who make this whole essay about how the Railroad sucks and is stupid but have clearly not even read the terminals inside the Railroad HQ is astounding.
