Can Maximus and Lucy's Relationship Be Considered Woke?

I personally think it flows extremely well into the narrative. Both characters are acted well and fits into the lore perfectly.

I have seen some complaints on the diverse choice of character though. Surely this is simply a casting choice and there are no hidden messages behind these choices.

Unlike the inclusion of Dane (the he/girl) which is just blatant political pandering in my opinion. They really couldn't help themselves but to put in a transgender character into the wasteland.

A polycule sounds like some sort of cancerous growth. Not far off I suppose.

Must be tough having to care so much about how other peopleive their loves that you have to equivalate it with cancer

I don't care how people live their lives, I just think the word sounds gross. Most people I've seen in these types of relationships are kinda gross too.

If you're the kind of person who takes offense at "mixed relationships" like we still live in the 1950s, I suppose it could

Also.. what I mean by this is..

The fallout universe is set in the 1950s era despite the bombs falling in 2077.

You can see this reflected by all the analog tech.

So im pretty sure they would have an issue with that mix

It's a different universe. Their history is different in a lot of ways. While the timeline includes a Civil War and an Emancipation Proclamation, there's no mention of Reconstruction or a need for any civil rights acts. Some of the former slave states outlawed slavery, and the 13th Amendment ended slavery in the rest of the former slave states.
The 50 states also broke up into 13 commonwealths or super states in 1969.

That fact that slavery in the game is an equal opportunity institution suggests no one really cares about color anymore as there are far more important differences to worry about.

Preston Garvey leads the Minutemen when the Sole Survivor first meets them.
The self-appointed sheriff of Megaton in Fallout 3 is Lucas Simms. He's a native of Megaton.

The problem is Hollywierd thinks the only way to white redemption is through interracial relationships.

Or, the more likely scenario, is that they cast the best actors for the roles from the list of the actors they could afford.

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
