re: Fallout **SPOILER** Discussion Thread

Great series. Loved it.

But I didn’t need the gratuitous sexual stuff, like seeing the main character ride her arranged husband or the cult that started dropping their tops during a group chant. I can deal with it. It was only 2 moments. But it was a little insulting to my demographic AND testosterone level.

That’s not the game. The game implies stuff like Fisto going to town on you (when you consent). And whores in New Vegas that are more like the “Me so hawny” chick from Full Metal Jacket.

It seemed like the producers were unnecessarily trying to cater to teenage boys, and that was a distraction- almost a turnoff because it was a bit over the top. It made me feel immature while watching a great series based on a video game - so I was conflicted. During the cult chant scene, the producers teased that the main character would unzip her top and let us gaze upon a set of magnificent tits, much like when Amazon had Mrs Maisel do the same during a comedy set. But there’s a part of me that respected the game. Maybe they tease now and deliver later. Maybe that’s a modern take on growing sexual tension.

But that doesn’t impress me. I want to see the art elevated. I don’t want to feel pandered to. I can see tits anytime. Stick to the art Amazon.

But with the next season teasing New Vegas… more tits are in our future, and I’m still conflicted. Leave the tits. Stick to the game. Teenage me would smack the current me in the head for saying that - but these aren’t the 80s anymore. We can see tits any time. I want more compelling content like this series does when they aren’t teasing teenage boys.
