      Chuds liking fallout is proof no amount of subtext is enough for some people. You have to explicitly bash people over the head with your intended message if you dont want people to interpret it as exactly the opposite.

        Fallout 3 has a 100 foot tall robot made by the US government that shoots lasers out of its eyes while screaming “I hate communism”. A group of rogue soldiers with a technology fetish managed to take over this robot in a dramatic scene where said 100 foot tall robot stomps through the streets of the nuclear blasted ruins of Washington D.C. fighting off the remains of the federal government. Chuds unironically love liberty prime anyway. There is no bashing over the heads blatant enough for these people

          I always liked how it says “death is preferable to communism” in a fucked up dead wasteland. Like, really? I think I’d take the communism over having my dick melt off because a nuclear automobile blew up during a gun fight over a can of chef boyardee.

          Chuds couldn’t read subtext if it was tattooed to their retinas.

      plus MG:R pretty explicitly has the protagonist fighting against the US government and global imperialism. The first mission is trying to prevent a left of center African head of state from being assassinated!
