Can Maximus and Lucy's Relationship Be Considered Woke?

[lungcao100]

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.

引用自 Cooperal：

It is about as woke as it can get for a show that hasn't broached the subject of race as it applies to the real world.

Some people, mostly social media addicts, do have a tendency to take a theory and don't attempt to separate it from fact just because the truth doesn't captivate their imagination as easily. That is unavoidable.

That's an awful lot of words for not actually having said anything specific at all

They'll form a polycule together with The Ghoul and Thaddeus

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

Yes it's woke another one is Barb and Cooper? it's not a casting choice, the show is blatantly identity politics propaganda.

Woke, Woke never changes..

I don't get it, could you explain what the issue is?

Too much racism using 'woke' to hide behind.

What's the issue with propaganda?

I don't understand what the propaganda part is supposed to be

[THARN]

its an amazon original .. so they will inject what they think they have to. Amazon part of the world wide cabal of a small percentage of people in power that think they know better than the rest of humanity..
3 episodes in and im enjoying it- I havent seen anything yet that would have me turn it off/
I think they are doing the fallout universe justice just like Dungeons and Dragons movie..
entertaining and alot of easter eggs.

I don't understand why you're not explaining what the problem is

Generally speaking, going "I can't imagine sex happening in X scenario" probably says more about you than it says anything else

What does that even mean? Lol

Can't imagine having sex after everyone I ever knew was assaulted, most killed. I was graped by a raider that probably gave me VD and possibly made me prego. Almost died defending myself. My dad was kidnapped. Decided to leave the only home I know because no one wants to do anything. Find nothing but death on the surface, almost die to a ghoul going on a murder spree in the first town I visit. Meet a dude in power armor, he was cool. Had to saw the first nice human I ran into head off on the possibility of it being used to trade for my dads life. Get used as bait for a giant salamander while being dipped into radioactive water. Drank radioactive water out of desperation. Almost had my organs harvested by a robot and killed by a feral ghoul. Save knight dudes life and he saved mine by giving me radx. We drop into a vault together...

"Oh hey, want to have sex?"

Nah. Not in your most pornhubist of dreams dude.

Lol. Get over yourself.

You probably also wouldn't maintain any of your cheery vault-trained personality then, either. The vaults are full of people whose general attitude towards the potential horrors of the post-apocalypse is to treat them as normal after the bombs dropped and push ahead with a chipper can-do attitude. They've been trained to that end their entire lives. It doesn't always work, and Lucy struggles briefly each time she runs into the reality, but her response is all right in line with the rest of her personality.

She's lucky that she's keeping it separate so far. With the way the human brain favours wiring neural responses together based on when they happen, and things like misattribution of arousal (where people subconsciously respond to increased breathing and heartrate from things like fear or exercise as signs of sexual arousal), together with her tendency to not let things blunt her sexuality, she could end up developing a fetish for dangerous situations.

i think it is woke but didn't feel forced,

she was definitely craving sperm since day 1, that was a priority for lucy cuz yeah not even all the horrors of the wasteland could make her forget bout sex, i was impressed she didn't ask mr ghoul for some action. Vault dwellers are extremely sex addicts, the blonde lady was puttin ice inside her pants probably cuz all the intercourse with big dummy fella.

They've haD it drilled into them that they're required to have the next generation, and when your population is so small and isolated as in a vault, you can't readily afford to have people who won't perform. Lucy is a product of that environment.

Also, imagine having lived your entire life only with people so closely related to you that you aren't allowed to have sex. Lucy's what, 20 maybe 21, she's somewhere around 8 years of pent up sexual frustration (or well, that's the joke they're going with anyway, I'm sure "cousin stuff" can get you off just fine).
She's not (only) socialized to breed, in fact it's lampshaded pretty heavily that she's not really into getting pregnant when she talks to... blonde pregnant lady, Stephanie Hayes? about it, she's just someone with a healthy sexual appetite who finally has an outlet for it and basically still a horny teenager.

I believe its called being "sexpositive", but I'll bet that's considered woke communist degeneracy or some such nonsense by some of the people in here

[Kussin]

report this post and move on. Everyone making a serious answer here is a a full blown degenerate.
