My Nora character was smitten with Cait, MacCready, and Hancock. I was actually irked I couldn’t also romance Deacon. 😢😒😤 Although it’s not confirmed that Ghouls (excluding ferals) can regenerate health, Ghouls in general CAN regenerate health when blasted by radiation: 1) Glowing ferals do their blast radiation attack and it revives and heals nearby ferals; 2) Using a gamma gun heals ferals instead of inflicting damage; 3) Ferals hanging around Cambridge Crater regenerate health as you fight them if they’re near ground zero of the crater’s blast zone. Perhaps the serum the ghouls in the show take has a high concentration of radiation that in turn heals the Ghouls enough to stave off turning feral..? Just a hypothetical theory.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I've been watching lots of Fallout commentary lately just to extend my obsession over the show, and I have to say that this video right here is the one I've enjoyed the most. Thank you for all the work you've put into this. I really appreciate the discussion of privilege and the work needed to undo that. You've articulated the reasons why I fell in love with Lucy's character development (so far... I hope season 2 is as well-written). You've also captured what it was exactly that I found off-putting about Cooper's pre-war story. I agree about the nuances of privilege that he enjoyed despite others taking issue. I think you pointing that out makes Ghoul's character arc all the more meaningful, actually. So, I just really wanted to thank you for this video. You've gained a subscriber and supporter in me! Please take your time for your next video... I, for one, understand the need to have certain things in place before diving into the work. (Plus, I am also a fellow Adobe/Windows defector.)

In Episode 7, while "Goosey" is being led to the atrium for her judgement, she keeps saying "I'm a good person! I'm a good person!" Somebody stated that this statement carried a connotation of "I'm a civilized person who belongs in a vault". Because Lucy equates vaults with "civilization" and "civilized people" where those unwashed uncouth barbarians on the surface shouldn't belong. It is also why she pleads for Max to be allowed to stay, claiming that "he's a good person" i.e. "he's one of the good ones we should let in". Later, Lucy invites Max to live with her in 33, once again reiterating that he is a "good" person i.e. worthy of being granted the privilege to live in her vault. Your thoughts on this?

I do hope you do an analysis of the Barbie movie, because it being touted as some kind of feminist masterpiece was honestly an affront to women’s liberation movements. The whole movie was a Mattel advertisement. Under different production circumstances, it might have had useful critiques of capitalism, but I left the theatre feeling like it was actually the opposite of a critique.
@lindsaysfalloutКүн бұрын
Yeah. As a feminist movie the metaphor doesn't track but as a privilege movie it does. If you realize that "barbie in barbieland" is basically "suburban white guy in America" it all of the sudden makes sense. The movie is about gender, but only insofar as how using gender as a metric for privilege. (Privilege has many metrics - race, religion, socioeconomic status, neurotype, etc.) I think we'd have the same problem with using any metric - the metric becomes the focus instead of what it's measuring. Fallout doesn't use a real-world metric, being science fiction, so that's why science fiction is a better setting to tell these types of stories. Also accepting the privilege reading of Barbie also means accepting its scathing commentary about the less privileged as well. (Example - Ken is too busy throwing himself a musical number to take real action when the Barbies are busy taking his rights away.) Accepting the privilege reading of the movie means people on all sides of the issue would actually have to eat some humble pie digesting it, which they clearly aren't doing. But, uh, FYI, dismissing the Barbie movie as "just an advertisement" just because you personally didn't gather what it had to say is a bit yuck. Maybe if you had said "it felt like a Mattel advertisement" as opposed to "the whole movie was a," I would feel differently. The difference is, one would be a statement of intent and the other would be a statement of impact. It's valid to say the impact it had on you felt like an advertisement, but suggesting that advertising was it's intention is obnoxious. I wish that people like you were more humble and assumed they missed the message rather than lean on interpretations that there was no worthwhile message. It may sound like I'm nitpicking here, but from my perspective, the world isn't nitpicky enough about the words they're choosing. There are confusing arguments all across the internet all the time because the language doesn't differentiate between people's personal preferences and how they believe the world ought to behave. If we mean our own personal feelings and not what we see as flat truth, we ought to clearly differentiate that as often as we can. Some people really do flatly believe the Barbie movie has no artistic merit beyond an advertisement just because they can't perceive such, and I hope that's not you.

I seem to be encountering a lot of misunderstandings regarding this Cooper/Bud section in this video, which is maddening. Despite not saying anything negative about Cooper himself, I've noticed a significant number of responses taking my remarks as a personal attack on him. Criticisms are often perceived as personal attacks rather than opportunities to evaluate behaviors or societal norms. and it's annoying, because it hampers meaningful discussion and progress and get us stuck in perpetual arguments. Let me clarify: my criticism was not directed at Cooper personally, but rather at the societal allowances granted to individuals like him-allowances not extended to everyone. I just wanted people to see that what Cooper did is bold from the perspective of someone who lacks that privilege - never said it was bad. Never judged him. I would have said the exact same thing in his shoes. The point is I'm NOT wearing his shoes, and neither are most people. That's all. I realize as a content creator and communicator, I should always be receptive to feedback that helps me grow and communicate more effectively - but I even went as far as to say that EVERYONE should have the freedom to express themselves as Cooper did. How is that not a clear enough? This is what I find so maddening - the video is an hour long because I explain as deeply as I can imagine. How much disclaimer, contextual qualifiers do people need me to add? Most people think I over-think and over-explain as it is. I can only be so verbose. There comes a point where the responsibility has to somewhat fall on the comprehension skills of the audience. (Maybe I should start responding to comments like this with 'sounds like a skills issue' for my own amusement!) How can we address the unintended negative social impacts of choices made by privileged individuals if every critique is mistaken for a personal slight?
@patmoriarty67252 күн бұрын
Loved the breakdown, and honestly I really liked the whole Bud/Cooper bit and the 'mediocre white man' confidence thing. While I've never heard it put like that before, from what little I've noticed in the comments, it seems there's a lot of defense for Cooper speaking up as having lived through those suits, 'war hero,' etc. But nothing about Cooper's character seems like he'd ever think of himself that way, and he's not really mediocre as he ends up being a movie star, but I'd go out on a limb to say from what I've sen of folks propping up Coop in that scene, it's because the privilege he has feels earned, while usually any mention of privilege tends to make it all out as some unearned imbalance. The word privilege itself has become a sort of loaded term, which makes discussions difficult. Cooper has privileges, if nothing else for the fact that if his wife wasn't a higher-up in Vault-Tec, that conversation likely never could've taken place to begin with. Bud also has privileges, and we find out he has quite a bit more than Cooper from a certain point of view, but as far as Cooper knew, Bud didn't hold any power in the exchange. Bud wasn't introduced as the boss of Coop's wife Barb, Coop was a lot more civil than most military folk I've known would've been in Coop's shoes, so as far as Coop was concerned he might have a stern talking-to from his wife about appropriate chit-chat with her co-workers. So, politely tell off the guy who was partially responsible for multiple, who-knows-how-many deaths of people you personally knew and risk a 'mind your manners' talk from the wife? worth it. But that mental math might've been very different if Bud was introduced as Barb's direct boss. I think the problem is that the term privilege is a loaded term these days in most discussions. It tends to be used as an epithet, an insult or as a sort of 'stolen valor' argument; rich people have privilege when spoken of as a generalized whole, but it can get very heated for some when discussing privilege if specific rich individuals are mentioned. Questions come up, did they 'earn' their fortune or was it inherited? How much 'actual' work did they do for it, and then debates over what is considered 'actual work.' To me, I try to sum up privilege as the power to take risks, and especially to damn the consequences. What power they have specifically doesn't matter, but the ability to mentally shrug and metaphorically say "Go on, what about it?" shows who holds the power regardless of where one's privilege derives. Some privileges are earned, some inherited, some societal, and so on, and people will quickly argue about which is a 'good' or 'bad' sort, so I stick to that concept of power. All the vault dwellers, compared to the surface folks, are privileged. But we know one vault dweller who seemed to get little to no respect, held no recognized authority or power, and surely would've been thought of as the least privileged in V33. But who seemed to hold all the cards when they said, "How do you demote someone who equally dislikes every job he's ever worked?" It certainly didn't feel like the trio of especially privileged overseers, including a V31 transfer, had any power in that discussion.

Privilege is just so emotionally loaded these days that I guess that kind of reaction was inevitable to some? I thought you explained it very well and took no issue with it. It just seems like people struggle to understand the difference between personal attack and objective statement. Cooper isn't a bad guy and you made that very clear in my opinion. If anything Coopers naivety together with his unwillingness to truly see where things are heading are much more of a flaw. The signs were everywhere he just didn't want certain things to be true because it would have shaken his worldview too much. Which is a painfully human thing to do. He just wanted to be happy - hence his offer to move to the country side. He lived in denial land because he had enough privilege to do so. At that point even his wife got mad at him because she saw things already much clearer than he did. Maybe that was the reason she decided to work with VaultTec in the first place.

It is also why she pleads for Max to be allowed to stay, claiming that "he's a good person" i.e. "he's one of the good ones we should let in". Later, Lucy invites Max to live with her in 33, once again reiterating that he is a "good" person i.e. worthy of being granted the privilege to live in her vault. Your thoughts on this?
I absolutely love that and may put this aside for a Vault 4 video! Vault 4 was kind of like Norm in that there wasn't much mention in this video because it really warrants its own thing!
I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS THANKYOUVRY MUCH
YOU ARE WELCOME AND I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM! 🤣🤣
As a fellow member of the Queer Degenerate Army, I salute your weird feelings about how the Ghoul treats Lucy 🫡😂 Happy PRIDE, all the time! Best wishes with the new software, Love 🙏🏾⛈🌈💕
aww thank you! 💖💖🏳🌈🏳🌈
This was fantastic video analysis, I just subbed I’m so excited for your next one!
Excellent video! Subbed :3
Welcome aboard!!
Texans are very comfortable with spending 95% of the school's budget for the year on the football team lol.
🤣🤣 if you haven't seen the movie Bottoms, much recommend 🤣🤣 FOOTBALL!
46:05 I’m not a big content creator but I do keep a lot of digital files and listening to your struggles and needing a system to tag clips etc. I wanted to recommend you looking into obsidian. The connection to different tags is something I’ve always wanted out of digital organizing. It’s like an actually representation of ACTUAL mind mapping.
@@Alwaysbluet I love you so much for mentioning obsidian. I always try recommending that to ADHDers - I am a huge fan and believer in the software. The problem is I’m too autistic for it. I’m a really linear, list-oriented thinker, and obsidian is really a better fit for a more chaotic thinker. I found myself getting lost in it too easily. I love Notion though. I kind of consider them sibling programs in a way. But I can’t thank you enough for bringing it up because I think it could change so many ADHD lives.
I don’t know how I’ve never found this channel but this has been excellent, amazing content 👍
@@joedominguez8064 welcome aboard! I’m very new and just now barely getting my footing for some sort of regular uploading so it’s not too shocking you haven’t found me yet. Here’s hoping I can keep this going!
They explicitly mentioned it in nukaworld. The ringmaster ghoul guy, Oswald? And his friend are trying to find a drug to keep ghouls from going feral. They don't find it but are convinced it exists.
I'll be here waiting :)
"If the rule 34 crowd isn't hard at work, I mean, I am very disappointed." GIRL, have you visited Ao3 lately? I didn't ship them at first either, but I sure as Dickens do now. Some of those fics are VERY compelling.

With almost 650 ao3 fics for that pair in less than 3 months and a whole legion of nsfw fanart on twitter... I'd say the rule 34 crowd is working OVERTIME
@@queenie_bee I'm so happy 😍😍 It's ridiculous but I feel like people really "discover themselves" through these kinds of pursuits, i truly think it's a positive thing 🤣🤣 I hope Big Eyes and Welding Goggles don't mind 🤣🤣
I do hope you do an analysis of the Barbie movie, because it being touted as some kind of feminist masterpiece was honestly an affront to women’s liberation movements. The whole movie was a Mattel advertisement. Under different production circumstances, it might have had useful critiques of capitalism, but I left the theatre feeling like it was actually the opposite of a critique.
Yeah. As a feminist movie the metaphor doesn't track but as a privilege movie it does. If you realize that "barbie in barbieland" is basically "suburban white guy in America" it all of the sudden makes sense. The movie is about gender, but only insofar as how using gender as a metric for privilege. (Privilege has many metrics - race, religion, socioeconomic status, neurotype, etc.) I think we'd have the same problem with using any metric - the metric becomes the focus instead of what it's measuring. Fallout doesn't use a real-world metric, being science fiction, so that's why science fiction is a better setting to tell these types of stories. Also accepting the privilege reading of Barbie also means accepting its scathing commentary about the less privileged as well. (Example - Ken is too busy throwing himself a musical number to take real action when the Barbies are busy taking his rights away.) Accepting the privilege reading of the movie means people on all sides of the issue would actually have to eat some humble pie digesting it, which they clearly aren't doing. But, uh, FYI, dismissing the Barbie movie as "just an advertisement" just because you personally didn't gather what it had to say is a bit yuck. Maybe if you had said "it felt like a Mattel advertisement" as opposed to "the whole movie was a," I would feel differently. The difference is, one would be a statement of intent and the other would be a statement of impact. It's valid to say the impact it had on you felt like an advertisement, but suggesting that advertising was it's intention is obnoxious. I wish that people like you were more humble and assumed they missed the message rather than lean on interpretations that there was no worthwhile message. It may sound like I'm nitpicking here, but from my perspective, the world isn't nitpicky enough about the words they're choosing. There are confusing arguments all across the internet all the time because the language doesn't differentiate between people's personal preferences and how they believe the world ought to behave. If we mean our own personal feelings and not what we see as flat truth, we ought to clearly differentiate that as often as we can. Some people really do flatly believe the Barbie movie has no artistic merit beyond an advertisement just because they can't perceive such, and I hope that's not you.
“war never changes, but love changes everything” is such a good quote
I feel like the next time someone asks me why I love these characters, I should just link them to this video. Such a perfect analysis. I'm really glad to be subbed and I'm sure I'll be thrilled when you next post, no matter how long it is until then.
Thank you! ❤️
"That's why conservatives are trained to hate gay people". That there is definitely a hot take.
Ten minutes in and I'm smashing that subscribe button, keep up the great work!
16:00 It seems like people the vault also think that way, as when Reggie and Woody are watching the chemmed out prisoner that they talk about sedating, one of them says "200 Years without contact". Why does Lucy know, but not Reg and Woody?
YES! I'll probably bring that up in the norm video, there's so much to unpack in that vault.
This was a very good video. Good upload!

So, cilantro tastes like soap to me, therefore I'm obviously having trouble understanding why it would be difficult for you to muster up the confidence to tell a war profiteer to his face that he is war profiteering. I mean, we currently find ourselves in gay MONTH. If you still have confidence issues, will they ever go away? Disclaimer: I hope I'm not coming off as mean. I think you make great videos, and you seem like a good person.
Well done! Absolutely loved this episode ❤️
Thanks! 💖💖
Your rant at the end is extremely inspiring. You're dealing with all the same problems I'm facing and you're making the same decisions I'm making. Open source is the only option, executive dysfunction is always a threat, and the list of work is endless, but you ARE doing it. Don't lose hope, 99% of our struggles are invisible, and that becomes obvious when your mission is raising awareness.
Aww thank you that honestly really means a lot. It's easy to feel alone out here with all of this, and thanks for the validation for what I'm doing too. It's so hard to pick myself back up again looking at all the times I've fallen back down. I was talking to a friend of mine about "getting back on the horse" and she was like "but some of us can't ride horses! what if I want to ride a llama!" 🤣🤣
I seem to be encountering a lot of misunderstandings regarding this Cooper/Bud section in this video, which is maddening. Despite not saying anything negative about Cooper himself, I've noticed a significant number of responses taking my remarks as a personal attack on him. Criticisms are often perceived as personal attacks rather than opportunities to evaluate behaviors or societal norms. and it's annoying, because it hampers meaningful discussion and progress and get us stuck in perpetual arguments. Let me clarify: my criticism was not directed at Cooper personally, but rather at the societal allowances granted to individuals like him-allowances not extended to everyone. I just wanted people to see that what Cooper did is bold from the perspective of someone who lacks that privilege - never said it was bad. Never judged him. I would have said the exact same thing in his shoes. The point is I'm NOT wearing his shoes, and neither are most people. That's all. I realize as a content creator and communicator, I should always be receptive to feedback that helps me grow and communicate more effectively - but I even went as far as to say that EVERYONE should have the freedom to express themselves as Cooper did. How is that not a clear enough? This is what I find so maddening - the video is an hour long because I explain as deeply as I can imagine. How much disclaimer, contextual qualifiers do people need me to add? Most people think I over-think and over-explain as it is. I can only be so verbose. There comes a point where the responsibility has to somewhat fall on the comprehension skills of the audience. (Maybe I should start responding to comments like this with 'sounds like a skills issue' for my own amusement!) How can we address the unintended negative social impacts of choices made by privileged individuals if every critique is mistaken for a personal slight?
Loved the breakdown, and honestly I really liked the whole Bud/Cooper bit and the 'mediocre white man' confidence thing. While I've never heard it put like that before, from what little I've noticed in the comments, it seems there's a lot of defense for Cooper speaking up as having lived through those suits, 'war hero,' etc. But nothing about Cooper's character seems like he'd ever think of himself that way, and he's not really mediocre as he ends up being a movie star, but I'd go out on a limb to say from what I've sen of folks propping up Coop in that scene, it's because the privilege he has feels earned, while usually any mention of privilege tends to make it all out as some unearned imbalance. The word privilege itself has become a sort of loaded term, which makes discussions difficult. Cooper has privileges, if nothing else for the fact that if his wife wasn't a higher-up in Vault-Tec, that conversation likely never could've taken place to begin with. Bud also has privileges, and we find out he has quite a bit more than Cooper from a certain point of view, but as far as Cooper knew, Bud didn't hold any power in the exchange. Bud wasn't introduced as the boss of Coop's wife Barb, Coop was a lot more civil than most military folk I've known would've been in Coop's shoes, so as far as Coop was concerned he might have a stern talking-to from his wife about appropriate chit-chat with her co-workers. So, politely tell off the guy who was partially responsible for multiple, who-knows-how-many deaths of people you personally knew and risk a 'mind your manners' talk from the wife? worth it. But that mental math might've been very different if Bud was introduced as Barb's direct boss. I think the problem is that the term privilege is a loaded term these days in most discussions. It tends to be used as an epithet, an insult or as a sort of 'stolen valor' argument; rich people have privilege when spoken of as a generalized whole, but it can get very heated for some when discussing privilege if specific rich individuals are mentioned. Questions come up, did they 'earn' their fortune or was it inherited? How much 'actual' work did they do for it, and then debates over what is considered 'actual work.' To me, I try to sum up privilege as the power to take risks, and especially to damn the consequences. What power they have specifically doesn't matter, but the ability to mentally shrug and metaphorically say "Go on, what about it?" shows who holds the power regardless of where one's privilege derives. Some privileges are earned, some inherited, some societal, and so on, and people will quickly argue about which is a 'good' or 'bad' sort, so I stick to that concept of power. All the vault dwellers, compared to the surface folks, are privileged. But we know one vault dweller who seemed to get little to no respect, held no recognized authority or power, and surely would've been thought of as the least privileged in V33. But who seemed to hold all the cards when they said, "How do you demote someone who equally dislikes every job he's ever worked?" It certainly didn't feel like the trio of especially privileged overseers, including a V31 transfer, had any power in that discussion.
There’s a lot of Cooper fan people out there, don’t let ‘em get to you 😂
@@patmoriarty6725 I really appreciate it this comment and totally agree. The term privilege really is loaded. Hence what I said at the beginning about blocking the word on TikTok I guess I kind of made my choice tackling the subject and it really shouldn’t shock me. I’m writing this comment when I really should be getting out of bed, but I just want to thank you for validating why my feelings about this discussion would be complex.
@@joedominguez8064 I'm Cooper people! I love Cooper! This whole damn show full of fascinating people and I've made THREE Cooper videos!! We should all be friends!!
Privilege is just so emotionally loaded these days that I guess that kind of reaction was inevitable to some? I thought you explained it very well and took no issue with it. It just seems like people struggle to understand the difference between personal attack and objective statement. Cooper isn't a bad guy and you made that very clear in my opinion. If anything Coopers naivety together with his unwillingness to truly see where things are heading are much more of a flaw. The signs were everywhere he just didn't want certain things to be true because it would have shaken his worldview too much. Which is a painfully human thing to do. He just wanted to be happy - hence his offer to move to the country side. He lived in denial land because he had enough privilege to do so. At that point even his wife got mad at him because she saw things already much clearer than he did. Maybe that was the reason she decided to work with VaultTec in the first place.
Great video, and I'm excited for the Norm video too. We Norms need our stories told too!
I also would call myself "a norm" 🤣🤣
I think it's odd you single out Cooper as the best example of the mediocre white man in the conversation with Bud Askins. Bud's mediocrity was a harsh reality for Cooper, and Bud had the ignorant privilege to wave off all those deaths because Bud's responsibility of providing a good product, "was never his bag."
I wont forget you!
Thank you so much for your hard work and it was incredibly enjoyable. I cannot express how much I would be happy to hear and watch video about my man Norm!
Bruh, most xers ive seen who watched the show love the ghoul, saying no older folk dont is a blatant lie. Clownery
@@carmenlynn5441 yeah it’s weird how people feel the need to embolden themselves with made up opinions of other people to validate their own opinion. I just want to tell this person - it’s okay if you don’t like him, it’s lying about other people that’s gonna get you ostracized
I can't help financially, but I am a "computer guy", so if you need help setting up the new software let me know.
“Ass jerky don’t make itself” is one of the best line in the whole show. The other one being, “I thought all you sardine dipshits were dead!”
Agreed, along with the second utterence of "There's no fudge here." by Snipsnip.
@@Drewcatmorris A compilation of "best out-of-context lines" might be great. I mean who can forget gems like "want to make my c*ck explode now?"
I wish Wilzig and Moldaver’s characters had stuck around longer. My two favorite supporting characters.
Yeah! I could totally see us getting more flashbacks of them. We are definitely not done with Moldaver, too many unanswered questions!
I’d like to hear a rant about the pinko a-holes.
i think you've mebtioned before about being no contact with your family in a prior video, and i'm curious if you relate the insulated and ignorant lives of vault dwellers to your own circumstances/situations? Without going into too much detail, i'm very much of a similar situation, and i think your commentary on lucy and her holding onto positive ideals that she learnt in an otherwise toxic environment can relate heavily, if not to our shared experiencen then at least my own; its a similar journey of reflecting on my upbringing and chosing to hold onto aspects of an otherwise toxic and unhealthy lifestyle whilst also being open to learn and adapt when presented with new perspectives and information (the wasteland in lucy's example). Also just gotta say, i fucking relate hard af to the bit in the video about how there are no rules, just survival and influences/stimuli that push us in different directions and to the respective conclusions we do in w/e circumstances we face !!
also small tidbit from a prior fallout game i think you'd adore and ties in perfectly to the themes of the show and series as a whole; In the finalle of the last DLC for Fallout New Vegas, the character of Ulysses (arguabbly an avatar for the traumas of war and how fruitless such a concept is) adds onto the famous tagline of the series, and arguably acts as a way for the series' themes to move from the implicit to the explicit: "Its said war ‐ War never changes. Men do, through the roads they walk."
Love the new animated avatar 👍 Gimme the pinko video!
When I saw Ma June I found my spirit animal.
@@Drewcatmorris Totally, I found her very relatable as well.
My last upload was a tight 18 minutes long and took me 7 f**king hours to edit. The Gods only know how long this took. Thank you for taking the time. Enjoyed the Vault Girl (Vault Dyke?) talking to camera
@@nikkihavers6432 😂 omg I would personally LOVE “vault dyke” but I’m still sort of culturally unclear of the attitude toward that word 😂 I’ve definitely heard it used against me with hostility, but from people who are powerless to actually harm me, so I just find it sad. But hey, that’s probably my privilege talking. So I’ve been saying “vault boi” or “vault dude” 😆
@lindsaysfallout Well, I'm 40, trans, lesbian, and enjoy the privilege of not giving a shit how other people think about me, and that trumps the confidence of mediocrity any day. Not that you should need it, but I'm giving you permission to be Vault Dyke, although youtube will probably have a problem with that title.
