The Fallout series. The worldbuilding is so sloppy and lazy that it grates pretty much from the get-go… and that’s without even mentioning the white supremacist subtext it’s all drenched in.

What?

Oh look… a liberal that refuses to see white supremacism when it’s literally on a screen a few inches from their face.

Yawn.

Wo did you think the (so-called) “ghouls” really are a stand-in for? Who did you think the (so-called) “tribals” are a stand-in for?

Nah, race isn’t implied in any of that. Ghouls were originally portrayed sympathetically, for the most part, at least until they turned zombie-like. Do you think zombies imply racism?

As for tribals; surprise! Humans arrange ourselves into small groups, often referred to as tribes, no matter what our shade of skin, nation or origin, or even our level of technology.

Do you think zombies imply racism?

Lol! I guess you haven’t realized why the majority of protagonists in the “zombie apocalypse” genre are always paragons of middle-class WASP-ness?

As for tribals; surprise!

Sure, Clyde… I guess the reservations exist purely because their inhabitants like the view, correct?
