Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Chuds still think somehow it's a right wing game, despite being overtly anti-fascist and anti-Capitalist, with several positive portrayals of Socialism, such as the Gun Runners, Westside, and of course the Anarcho-Communist Followers of the Apocalypse.
It's wild how many unironic Legion fans there are.
And that's why it's important. Why do so many people agree with the Legion despite how obviously horrible it is? I think it's not so much what the Legion does that pushes people away, I mean, there are so many messed up things that happen in fallout, but maybe it's the way they treat you. Hear me out. The NCR couldn't give a shit about it's solders and will actively do everything they can to advertise they're old world ideals but fail to fix its flaws and this leads to almost every solder contemplating suicide just so they don't get caught by the Legion or khans. Now how does the Legion treat you? Initially, hostile, but when you actually become a member, your treated as an equal in the horrible system. The only thing that gives any amount of status is your effort and cunning.
I think it's just the usual gamer to fascist pipeline, they see a brutal terrible slave army and think its cool because they long for a strong sense of nationality and belonging to a greater whole.
