“conservative coded if you don’t analyze the themes deeply” is very generous. i feel like fallout is pretty blatant with its satire. conservatives just continue to be the least media literate people on earth and despite the games doing all but literally saying “we’re making fun of your dumb ass worldview” they still think its glorifying conservatives and capitalism

Maybe. Don't we usually ironically appreciate their satire of us? They love fascism and hypocrisy so we really aren't hitting them hard when we make fun of them about it. They liked American history X. Satire is especially ineffective against them.
