Fantasy racism almost always handled very badly and uncomfortable way but it is extra bad with fallout 4.
Like I enjoy game but synth writing is so bad. My options of way of treating them is enslave this guys, kill this guys, or be a white saviour to this guys. I wanna help this guys but I want them to have their own opinions you know. I need more Glory less Desdemona. Nick also should be more vocal about synth and robot rights he talks about it but not enough. I love him a lot one of my faves but he is written and act like one of the good ones. Internalised synthphobia.
Also all mind-wipe thing.
Also coursers being seen as pure evil always evil same level evil with instutue. Like this guys are also synths they are also enslaved they are as much as victims as others you need to save them too. Game tried to make me sympathise with fucking Kellogg of all people but x6 written like he is sadistic beyond saving pure evil and guilty murderer. One joined instutue voluntary other is literally created and brainwashed and threatened with mindwipe.
Actually it's not the way story elements exist but how narrative treats them. Like way characters act make sense. But story want me to think in a way that doesn't make sense. Yeah man I feel so good with helping this good synths and killing bad ones and deciding which one is evil which one is not. Only good ones deserve freedom after all. Yeah brotherhood rules they allow nick with me doesn't matter they treat him like my rabid pet.
I wan not going to write that long because its not that deep and I don't care that much but I wrote that much. Sorry. This is like my version of being Tumblr user who gets angry on child cartoon because it is not handling political themes good. My Steven universe rant. Anyways I will again turn my brain off it doesn't worth it that much criticizing. It's badly written.
#like cmon stop trash talking coursers#i can understand normal people they are paranoid#but railroad know they are also victims why dehumanise them that badly#glory having some objections and unsatisfied with railroad also beinf a important member and a synth#but human leaders not taking her word makes me annoyed too#like she should be leader not your pawn to save her kind#also replaced synths too they are as concept terrible but they also don't deserve hate#i am again having opinions abput a dead game that nobody cares#oh also Desdemona being white while glory being black hmmmmmmmmmmm or x6 being also black hmmmm#bad#it can be soo good if writers were intentional with this#but they are not and because of this its bad writing#long post#sorry sorry for stupid rants i cant sleep#fallout 4#geym
