#fnv kin

[shittykinaesthetics]

Shitty Benny aesthetic: their fucking gang name is the chairmen... the nature of humanity is that, every so often, someone accidentally invents corporations again (i know it's not an accident in fallout i know i know shut up don't you fucking "well ackschually" me)

watching ring cam terror footage as inspirational thoughts for slither-kin behaviour prior to becoming the omerta.

[laniusbignaturals]

I genuinely confused about the whole drama fuss is all about. All fandom always at least have that one toxic ship, it's inevitable. And master/slave trope is not a new concept either, heck people seems fine about the trope as long as two party are attractive i suppose (shrug).

Plus dead dove do not eat also is a thing. It's unavoidable, if someone really didn't like a content there's literally a mute or filter

TLDR: It was always gonna go this way.

The long version: people originally started arguing about Caesar/Arcade because bickering over how to write characters’ romantic lives is time honored fandom tradition. This has been happening since the days of Star Trek and Harry Potter, it’s nothing new. These scuffles become especially aggro & self-serious when related back to a popular blorbo - those (usually male, almost always white) characters that are kinned, stanned and projected onto moreso than others. Arcade is absolutely that guy, right? He's a lot of people's favorite. He's special.

This spat featured casual racism, offensive name-calling and some brazen, truly nonsensical appropriations of AAVE, because those are also time honored fandom traditions. (Even if you niggas are cagey about acknowledging that.) Art in western culture is heavily influenced by white supremacy, and fandom, including the FNV fandom, is just one niche within that culture. White people, especially the young n cool™ ones, value their position as consumers & beneficiaries of black culture more than they value black people. They are known for selecting parts of our identity, language music clothes hairstyles etc, removing them from the original context, and bastardizing them so they can be used as a cultural commodity for nonblacks. Something that is put on and taken off for funsies, cosplay style. That FD Signifier video I was hyping up over the summer had a whole section about this. He also just released a new video on black cops which is worth checking out.

Now, tumblr's userbase generally believe themselves to be more enlightened than fandoms as you see them on reddit and twitter. And this is true, on a superficial level; you are much more likely to be met with slurs and open hostility on those sites than on this one. I also believe that, because the demographics which form the majority of tumblr's userbase - white gays and white women - have traditionally been marginalized & subjected to mistreatment within mainstream pop culture, they are especially resistant to identifying and dealing with the ways in which they fall short of their own progressive ideals. No one wants to see themself in the same light as their own bullies.

The problem is that, when it comes to their behavior, tumblr's FNV fandom can be pretty damn regressive, especially on the topic of race. They tend to have an excellent grasp on liberal terminology and identity politics, so they are comparatively much better at keeping these misgivings covert. But in practice, you will find them to be no less self-centered, entitled and anti-black than the FNV fanboys you would expect to find on reddit and twitter. I got into this game right around the time it was revealed that some white users were producing extreme anti-native content behind closed doors, an experience which has fostered an increased sense of isolation and paranoia among the remaining people of color in the community, as far as I can tell.

Okay, so, some white users start doing the ~Oooh Chile You'sa Lame Ass Homeskillet~ routine characteristic of digital blackface. They go out of their way to be as disrespectful and verbally abusive as they can in the process, because atp they're still on the offensive. And they misuse the black words they're "borrowing" because they don't know what they actually mean. When myself and a few others respond in kind, they double down, carrying on with the nastiness and the bizarrely racialized talking points. (Unironically calling people you don't like "degenerates??" Really?? School failed some of y'all smh)

A couple days go by and, instead of moving on and finding something else to do, they press the proverbial self-destruct button and engage in civility politics. The malignant tone of the original posts is abandoned, and instead, the people who once adopted it become… shocked and confused and wounded. They start talking about how, instead of matching their energy, their contemporaries should've just been "nice" and "civilized." They start complaining about being “canceled” just for having “opinions,” going back and forth between making half-assed apologies and insisting that the original issue wasn’t that big of a deal because they didn’t have “the intention of being racist” as if “having the intention of being racist” is something people ever do.

You would never guess that 1.these were the people all but outright referring to their peers as unwashed subhumans not last week, or 2. that they did so while identifying as left wing. Because rhetoric like this is borne from a place of privilege. Expecting that no one you’re denigrating will be allowed to meet you with an equal level of vitriol, because your space considers doing so to be taboo, is the kind of behavior that arises from too long spent insulated from the nonwhites who created the language they were mimicking. Nonwhites who might take umbrage with their broken attempts to use it while in the same breath calling them & theirs a bitch.

And if theres anything I would like people to take away from this, it's that the parts of fandom culture which they might have expected to have evolved in the past decade or so have, by and large, not evolved. Even some predominantly queer spaces will readily adopt the talking points of the right wing and prove themselves to be every bit as hostile to poc if you don't abide by their rules and center their perspective. So you should think before you speak and make an effort to not throw rocks and hide your hands, as is the parlance of our time.

Lastly, please do not go find these people and bother them on my behalf. I'm gonna take the poor english language comprehension between the both of them to indicate that they’re probably all, if not minors, young adults, which means they’ll likely learn not to act like this on their own. Or not! Maybe they'll be like this forever. Maybe one day I’ll see their names in the news after getting their shit rocked for saying a slur on campus & crying to the press about how they’re the real victims here. I can't influence whether or not that happens, because I’m not their counselor or their mom, even if they expect me to act like it.

idk what the intersectionality of fnv and pathologic is but ive been imagining a crossover of artemy being a healer/medic from a tribe that was conquered by the legion... the bull being the kin's holy animal... they can even keep the haruspex as his name since its latin/roman in origin 😳

[tharayya]

Heard there's a drama in a fallout rp group and nothing can ever top the dumbshit fuckery level of drama 2015-2018 fnv/fo4 Tumblr RP brought:

A whole circle of people who hated any female ocs that were not courier6 girlies.

there was an outted groomer every fucking month

A guy who gave people hundreds of dollars as gifts

Someone who kinned mushrooms at the age of 27 sending anon hate to everyone because they hated anyone trying to rp a fat muse (they owned the copyright to Fat characters, you see)

some guy would lie about his entire life story to impress the Females of the roleplay sphere

someone making a massive whiney post that "there's too many villain ocs lately (legion, enclave) and they ONLY want to follow NON villain ocs for their wholesome fallout RP experience so please Reblog if you're NOT a legion rper" someone roleplaying as Captain Pictus, a legion spy, reblogged the post. Funniest shit ever 10/10 commitment to the role.

The fallout 4 sole survivor rper who organised a secret santa, rigged it only they and their friends got gift art, then all abandoned their blogs in the new year.

[kevinsynthv]

would it be possible to fnvpill my tumblr friends

WOULD TUMBLR FRIENDS LIKE TO HEAR ME RAMBLE ABOUT FNV.. HERES THE SUMMARY:

"FNV, otherwise known as 'Kin yobi no yoru' (On a Friday Night) is a slice of life styled story in the sense that it follows the life of three best friends who enable each others chaos in a way, even unintentionally.

It's backstory is filled with deep lore and interpersonal relationships, motivations that are driven by loss, love and a search for community, identity, self and comfort. The stories of the main three characters intertwine into one as you follow along on their journey to becoming who they are today"

[irlarcadegannon]

My name is Arcade, I’m 21, it/he/him.

Please bear with me. Or don't. Who even posts anything that makes sense on Tumblr ever.

I like to say silly philosophical/incomprehensible things and document every thought I’ve ever had, I like writing and worldbuilding and literary analysis of every piece of media you’ve probably never heard of because I’m just so underground (kidding), I'm very passionate about video games and accessibility, and I’d like to study medicine, biotechnology, nuclear physics, maybe.

Oh, and I like cosplaying and dreaming up ao3 fanfictions I never get around to writing.

I’m not the most social of people, but if you want to discuss New Vegas things or internet phenomena, feel free to send an ask or dm and start a conversation here or on instagram.

(Please take my blog name with a grain of salt, I like it and I think it's fun, but I don't have any sort of authority over other people's thoughts on or fan works of a fictional character. Christ. I don't control you.)

Here's what to expect from this blog:

I may post:

Suggestive content, moderate gore, unreality

Anything with suggestive content or gore will be tagged and hidden under a read more/spoiler if egregious.

I will not post:

Full NSFW here (I share my nsfw art on other websites); I do have a sideblog @gannonposts for non-fallout content and you must be 18+ to follow that one.

Please feel free to:

Draw or ship my characters with your characters or yourself, kin my characters (please tell me if you do! I'd be so honored), or ask me questions about my characters anytime!
