Now matter how many times people tell me it's a good game, I'll go out of my way to avoid New Vegas at every turn on due to the sole fact their there's an entire generation of right wingers who've somehow been radicalized by this godforsaken glitchy hellhole and someone came out to the conclusion that the fascists are actually good because they have cool armor and robots which is very based and nuke-pilled
A comrade on r/Sigmarxism gave points to a few Warhammer factions based on Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism with 8 of the 14 categories met the skaven are deemed Kinda Fash
Kinda. They're insanely genocidal and backstabby, and invoke the "mad scientist" and "impractical superweapons" tropes. They also invoke a lot of WWI imagery with their focus on chemical warfare and plague.
Nowhere near 1:1, although their elite infantry are called stormvermin. Probably more a take on industrialised society in general
They're a survival-of-the-fittest society of ratmen with no redeeming features. Hierarchical and authoritarian, they've got enough numbers to easily conquer the world and they have all sorts of hacked together high-tech stuff like nukes and gatling guns and sewn-together monstrosities etc, except they're all so busy constantly trying to stab each other in the back that they can never get anything done. And they're all so completely cowardly that no chud is going to unironically stan them for "martial honour" or anything like that
Which is funny because New Vegas goes out of its way to be like "These guys were bad, but now they're just some lost old folks who just want one last chance to make up for it" and "Yeah, they have power armor and lasers, but they're also starving themselves into an early grave because they're so dn committed to dumb principles"
Chuds are just bad at doing anything other than surface analysis
Caesar's Legion may be a society built on slavery and murder, and is unsustainable in the long run but they at least make the Brahmin caravans run on time!
it's not just a good game, it is - by far - the best game in the entire series. you're playing yourself by turning your nose up at it just because some larping fascists take kindly to the legion
No, 7deadlyfetishes is talking about the BoS, and how fascists see liberty prime and instead of looking at what it represents, just see it as “haha big robot say anti-commie stuff haha” and nothing more than that.

Reminds me of that post from some guy who became a libertarian after playing Bioshock.
One of the main reasons I love skaven so much
