    IRL, though I’m pretty sure both indigenous people and black people as well as the things they went through are real in the Fallout universe

      Gotcha. On the irl side I’ll say that I don’t see bipoc ideologies as part of the American society that I mentioned in the comment, it would be a genuine break from that. In the game I always took the lack of those ideologies being present as part of the narrative. The entirety of American society in the games have exorcised any and all left wing ideas from it and that would include any and all minority liberation movements before people even made it into the vaults which is why they don’t really exist in the games.

        I would argue that even then different minorities and political struggles (new forms of leftism) were definitely still popping up in the Wasteland. I don’t think it’s really possible for a society to completely exorcise any leftist thought in it- When it’s based on true observations, new people will rediscover it.
