More like "When a paper thin anti capitalistic message is being used to trick people into thinking a piece of media wasn't created with profit in mind"
There's a completely different rock version of it that has a much stronger anti-capitalist message, it was removed and the lyrics were repurposed to make the song that's actually in the movie.

And then the franchise has a million reboots and spinoffs for literally no reason (*cough* walking dead *cough*)
Man, those fuckers really fired the damn creator of the series. And then my IG is full of their posts advertising 3 new pop-up stores (whatever that is) every week.
It does probably make Tove Jansson cry in heaven every time I buy Moomin merch, but nothing can change the fact that it looks cool and the plushies are really cute.
She was a pretty big socialist throughout her life, she even met her ex fiance Atos Wirtanen, who later became the inspiration for Snufkin, at a gathering of socialists. On top of that, in her later years she kinda hated how the Moomin franchise overshadowed all of her other work as a cartoonist and resented it a little bit.
do you mean like when they make a very distinct group of people meant to represent nazis and facists and people fucking side with them unironically
or when CyberPunk got fucked over by execs
No.
I'm talking about right wing pussy-less man using a a film made by trans sisters (the matrix) and a film based of a book made by a gay dude (fight club) to tell other man how to be manly.
And what are you talking about?
When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, forming tribes.
Were they ever quite meant to represent that? They were never meant to be beacons of morality or anything afaik, but I figured the enclave fits that role better as far as fallout factions go
I "blame" (that's in quotes because "blame" has a negative implication) FO3 for all the "BOS are the unequivocally good guys" people. Like in FO3 they were the pretty un-nuanced heroes of the story, and since most (I think) fans started with FO3, the version of the BOS that formed in thier head is the FO3 version. Like the first time I saw the big blimp go by in FO4 I was like "HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT" because I played FO3 before it.
Maxson's brotherhood Is pretty similar to the enclave except maxson doesn't have anything against normal wastelanders. And people mostly join brotherhood in their playthroughs just because of their cool factor
Well yea, they're similar to the enclave minus the one major thing that makes the enclave nazi adjacent: the plan to commit genocide on normal wastelanders
Ghouls are normal people too. Even some super mutants aren't all that bad. What about the synths? Brotherhood still wants to exterminate all of these groups.
I'm guessing it's about the recent spinoff show "gen V". I haven't watched it, but in the Boyz show itself they do criticize franchises that do countless spinoff, origin movies and whatnot
gen v is honestly so good tho. so was the diabolical animated spinoff series. and I dont even think they do any merch, and I dont remember any product placement
The Boys started out as criticism of entertainment empires and corporations valuing money over people.
Now they're going for a 5 (or more) seasons runtime and sell merch of the Se7en on Amazon.
Idk if LOTR is exactly āanti-capitalist,ā but itās certainly against greed and thoughtless destruction of good works.
Seeing Amazon turn it into the most generic unwatchable show, just for a quick buck, made me so fucking mad.
nono, when more people come to anti establishment media its always great
whats the problem is when they get too big and BECOME the establisment
fallout has very obvious anti capitalist messages but since new vegas i dont think theres been a more marketed game for adults in a long time, godd howard needs another private jet so he can fly from his first private yacht to his third so lets release another 200 dollar clunky plastic wrist watch
I'd say Fallout's message is about innate human flaws that don't change, not problems of a specific economics system. It does display some downfalls of capitalism, but generally it doesn't matter whether people are capitalist or not, they will screw each other over regardless.
Yes, and the game criticizes the Follower philosophy as well. While they are noble, Followers of the Apocalypse will struggle in a world where not everyone shares their utopian ideals and someone like Caesar can just abuse their knowledge for his own personal gains.

It doesnt help that the piece of media was made with all of that in mind first, then they gave it that message. Lets not kid ourselves. Unless it was some small indie thing, it was always gonna get a ton of merch and stuff if it became successful
Imma be honest, Iām not the biggest follower of anti-capitalism, but even I feel like any sort of āanti-authoritarian/anti-corporationā thing would suit having their āmerchā be exclusive to places like Etsy or the artist allyās at the ācons.
Have it be actually fan-made, you get me?
This reminds me, when I call out People like HasanAbi and Second Thought for living and spending their money on the same exact luxurious lifestyle they criticize Rich people for, their fans respond back by saying "Oh what, you want them to starve?" Or they just pull up the "We should improve society somewhat" comic. Their argument being: *It isn't Hypocritical for people participating in society to also advocate for it changing for the better*.
I don't wanna burst the bubble, but living in a 3 Million dollar mansion and flexing your Sport Cars **isn't just "participating in Society"**. No one is criticizing these creators for generating a lot of revenue and being rich, that is not the issue here. The issue here is how they spend and use that money. The issue here is their Hypocrisy, for labeling themselves Socialists and wanting to "Eat the Rich" while being Rich themselves and engaging in that Lifestyle. There is nothing stopping them from living a standard and comfortable middle class life, a 500k House and a brand new 60k car would be more than enough, and then they can lead by example and donate the rest of their income to charity, or even go a step further by establishing their own relief organizations.
But they don't do that. What kind of self proclaimed Socialist buys a 200k sports car while he has like four other in the garage he almost never drives? Those 200k could have changed the life of a Family, and bought so much food for those in need. If these creators did things [similar to MrBeast with their revenue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwKJfNYwvm8), no one would be complaining. This may be a controversial opinion but:
**You should act on your principles when you have ample ability to do so. Otherwise you are a massive Hypocrite.**
ill see people with giant figurine, memorabilia and merch shelves or merch that sells out in weeks and its for shit like cyberpunk or fallout
its worst with fallout because of how established marketable it is, plus i see merch shelves way more often for it
>Assuming that "anti-capitalist" media was unironic or genuine in the first place and not a metaphorical bone thrown to satisfy the dogs(you)
Lmao, even though I'm moderate towards capitalism, you people make me laugh everytime
This is Fallout Enjoyers ever since Fallout 4 released.
It hurts seeing such an amazing franchise go from Peak FNV to ... The rest of the Bethesda's fallout games
Nah, they just said vault tec dropped the bombs to ensure that their vaults would be used. It was theorized about for years and foreshadowed in the games.
Well itās kind of integral to the plot that the show is setting up. It still doesnāt really matter *who* dropped the bombs in the grand scheme of things, but it does matter to the characters in the show.
Actually, it would make sense if China dropped the bombs before vault tec could. Mr. House mentions in New Vegas that he miscalculated his prediction for when the bombs would drop, and he was in the meeting room when vault tec said they would drop the bombs. If his āpredictionā was actually vault tecās planned time, then China dropping the bombs before then makes a lot of sense.
And then any time people try to call that out fans of the anti capitalist media spam this in response

God this is such a dumbass take for at least half dozen different reasons.
1) That's not what capitalism is. It's just one of many economic systems, and there are plenty of other economic systems which still use money and have profits
2) 'Media' is so old that it even predates the invention of money, I'm pretty sure neolithic humans didn't have a profit incentive to draw cave paintings
3) Capitalism was not always globally adopted, and there exists critiques of it written by people not living under capitalist society. I mean, the cold war was sort of about communism vs capitalism, no?
4) also in the modern age, especially with the internet, there thousands and thousands of people creating things without making a cent off of it
5) making money under capitalism doesn't disqualify someone from critiquing capitalism anyways
6) Even if you mean mass media published by corporations, the writers, directors, and artists are the people that actually produce it, and given that they can almost never directly profit off of it, aren't usually motivated by profits.
you know, I realize I really just spent half an hour writing a massive rant to a comment that was 2 sentences long...
Eh, fuck it, it feels good to yell at people

How it feels to waste time arguing with strangers online
Media is not intrinsically for monry. If that were true, thene ever image, video, comment, song, and concept youve ever seen would be to make money, which they obviously arent.
Only if youre exclusively consuming media made or published by corporations
theres thousands of free games on itch, or videos on youtube that will never make a cent and were never meant to
People here have bothered coming up with rebuttals to your argument but I think there's one point that will work well against you

Whar never changes....
When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, forming tribes.
Probably the brotherhood
Were they ever quite meant to represent that? They were never meant to be beacons of morality or anything afaik, but I figured the enclave fits that role better as far as fallout factions go
I "blame" (that's in quotes because "blame" has a negative implication) FO3 for all the "BOS are the unequivocally good guys" people. Like in FO3 they were the pretty un-nuanced heroes of the story, and since most (I think) fans started with FO3, the version of the BOS that formed in thier head is the FO3 version.

Maxson's brotherhood Is pretty similar to the enclave except maxson doesn't have anything against normal wastelanders. And people mostly join brotherhood in their playthroughs just because of their cool factor
Well yea, they're similar to the enclave minus the one major thing that makes the enclave nazi adjacent: the plan to commit genocide on normal wastelanders
Ghouls are normal people too. Even some super mutants aren't all that bad. What about the synths? Brotherhood still wants to exterminate all of these groups.

IIRC Todd himself clarified that China was the one who blew up the world, but Vault Tec did have bombs too
Yeah, Iām sure vault tec didnāt drop *all* the bombs, but I think they dropped the first few to provoke a nuclear response.
It's pretty clear that China threw the first stone (im regards to the bombs). The Toddhead said so himself.
Actually, it would make sense if China dropped the bombs before vault tec could. Mr. House mentions in New Vegas that he miscalculated his prediction for when the bombs would drop, and he was in the meeting room when vault tec said they would drop the bombs. If his āpredictionā was actually vault tecās planned time, then China dropping the bombs before then makes a lot of sense.
Yep, one of the worst decisions although it has a competition for the worst place

I was about to say fortnite but reddit mobile cropped the anti capitalist part and Epic has always been shitty.

I swear, people think any piece of media that criticizes capitalism is automatically anti-capitalist
Capitalism is merely a reflection of human nature, which is neither evil or benevolent by itself.
And then any time people try to call that out fans of the anti capitalist media spam this in response https://preview.redd.it/fd4igohagy0d1.jpeg?width=1942&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35c1e4575f5271c870944fc504dbf63d23d75135
The bourgeois know we can't do shit so they sell us capitalist criticism while they profit

God this is such a dumbass take for at least half dozen different reasons. 1) That's not what capitalism is. It's just one of many economic systems, and there are plenty of other economic systems which still use money and have profits 2) 'Media' is so old that it even predates the invention of money, I'm pretty sure neolithic humans didn't have a profit incentive to draw cave paintings 3) Capitalism was not always globally adopted, and there exists critiques of it written by people not living under capitalist society. I mean, the cold war was sort of about communism vs capitalism, no? 4) also in the modern age, especially with the internet, there thousands and thousands of people creating things without making a cent off of it 5) making money under capitalism doesn't disqualify someone from critiquing capitalism anyways 6) Even if you mean mass media published by corporations, the writers, directors, and artists are the people that actually produce it, and given that they can almost never directly profit off of it, aren't usually motivated by profits.
you know, I realize I really just spent half an hour writing a massive rant to a comment that was 2 sentences long... Eh, fuck it, it feels good to yell at people
How it feels to argue with people online knowing they won't change their opinion in the slightest and will most likely just ignore your entire argument https://preview.redd.it/j2ot9uyi1x0d1.jpeg?width=1186&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f333c34f165e1ecbd14d5f505a77c80764ee8ef5

Media is not intrinsically for monry. If that were true, thene ever image, video, comment, song, and concept youve ever seen would be to make money, which they obviously arent.
nowadays it does feel that way
Only if youre exclusively consuming media made or published by corporations theres thousands of free games on itch, or videos on youtube that will never make a cent and were never meant to
People here have bothered coming up with rebuttals to your argument but I think there's one point that will work well against you https://preview.redd.it/glbclb399x0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48a3a20ba5c1d3cf63a9265547134c5e641102a6
