      The fun thing is I was yelling about this years ago; Nick and Nora are American war criminals and Beth portrays them as a happy little couple in a happy little leave it to beaver suburb instead of actually engaging with the story. Coming out and claiming “akshually we intended this all along!” just confirms that they were cowards who understood what they were doing but didn’t have the balls to make the MC a war criminal.

        The War Veterans Hall in FO4 has a document saying “oh we are so eager to hear Nate talk”

        So yes, he absolutely was megaHitler

        Like, it could have been something like “Nate was stationed at Anchorage during the actual events of Operation Anchorage” or something innocuous like that

        But no, it’s literally one of the defining moments of the series

        A moment which establishes how fucked up the US is

        And just gleefully pointing and being like “That’s you”, as if that’s something cool

        Fucking wizards pooping on the floor and teleporting it away

          Speaking of Operation Anchorage, that was one of the weirder DLCs to look back on since the villanous caricature of the Chinese invaders makes it seem like it could have been released yesterday.

            It was especially accurate to all the Yellow Peril tropes of the 50’s

            The fact that we still hear most of them these days is just icing on the shitcake

              With the way the world is going, you’d think the burger reich is speedrunning getting nuked by China just like the games.
