I’m starting to think these people just hallucinated what they think New Vegas is and are getting mad about it. Like, the Wild Wasteland perk literally just makes the game like this, never mind Old World Blues, an entire DLC of goofy nonsense.
How much of the New Vegas players actually did multiple playthroughs or explored around the game, instead of just running into Caesars Legion and thinking it’s the coolest thing ever, always picking the most racist options avaiable in the dialogue tree. Then forgot about the game and consumed it through youtube video essays, that match their ideology, so they have a completely different expectation on what the TV series should be like.
They are still gonna watch the series so it’s a W for capitalists no matter what the reason they watch it is. There is no profit in being loved.
Yeah, like just from the screencap, I can tell this is Novac, the starting location for Come Fly With Me, an extremely silly mission in New Vegas.
Weird sexism aside, I don’t disagree with the sentiment of the “THAT HAPPENED” script writing that is so prevalent these days. It immediately turns me off if it exists in a show.
Its much different from the “THAT HAPPENED” type dialogue, but it IS just as weird and quirky as New Vegas’ writing, which just proves further that everyone trying to dunk on the show for this is a fucking tourist.
The show is very mediocre, but the clip in question fits the series.
I haven’t seen it, the new season is out now? Might take a look. First was surprisingly OKAY. Not as terrible as I thought it’d be.
Oh no I think season 2 starts in january or something. They just released this clip within the last day or two for promo.
I am very much in the camp that season 1 was just fine.
I think it’s like next week or the week after
I liked season 1 except iirc of course they made the communist lady evil or whatever. I don’t remember but it was something like that
Yeah, they went “all the factions suck, actually” - which I guess is better than thinking the Brotherhood of Steel are the Good Guys of the setting. That kind of listless nihilism does just lead to implicitly having to decide who the least bad is and why it’s okay that they do a little less fascism than the rest.
…but now that I think about it, I don’t really remember much of it either. Such a shame, the prop work was awesome - I’d have watched ten episodes of “Propmasters Make Fallout Stuff”.
i don’t think that applies to this series from what’s been released so far.
this ‘criticism’ is literally just sexism because it’s totally unmoored from any context
Apparently "Quirk Chungus is a specific incel term. https://hexbear.net/comment/6733076 So the the op was just being sexist.
Tweet link because op is a lib
I don’t understand this grief because fallout new vegas is THE millennial quirk chungus game
this is like rolling your eyes at a Star Wars movie having a lightsaber in it

Just so you know, a lot of people are complaining about this.
I’s was always in it for them ships
Fair enough, me too actually, but i found that there is generally never enough ship action in sci-fi movies, and if it is, it’s usually just the top gun in space, while i want capital ships.
Is “quirk chungus” just a female coded “reddit guy”? Either way this is clearly shifting the blame for this kind of dialogue off of its actual originator, Joss Whedon.
*Josh Whedon
Imagine watching a show you don’t enjoy just to get mad at it
No, seriously, why do people do this?
I stopped watching The Last of Us after two episodes (don’t worry, it’s
) because it wasn’t good, then people told me I had to watch the third one and I didn’t care for that one either so I stopped.Your life will only improve if you do this
I mean, I don’t think The Last of Us The Show wasn’t good but also it’s basically the same as the game and I already watched the game so it didn’t really add anything except i like pedro pascal
The third episode of season 1 is actually brilliant though. Rest of the series, meh. Loved the games, and I think season 1 is one of the better adaptations of video games to TV/film, but season 2 was borked as hell. You’re not missing anything.
PERISHyou’re comment makes it look like the word “perish” is being farted by dr Manhattan
intentional, i assume
the media understander has logged on to tell you that actors write scripts
This might be a simplistic take, but for me at least the main issue with western art at this point is that it is poisoned by neoliberalism, not even liberalism. And liberals don’t have a robust understanding of their own worldview, like they’re lying to themselves, or that their worldview is one of convenience which in turn reflects in their art. So it sucks but obviously bigots gonna be bigots and blame it on poc representation or whatever, and in this case blame it one women, which is depressingly stupid (as in the stupidity makes me depressed).
FEEEEMALE
quirk chungus
Is… is he implying the actress in question is chunky?
[cw: misogyny]
“I need to make people I don’t like look as silly as possible!”
“I know! I’ll portray them as being in a loving relationship!”
Incels are just failed jocks and it shows. Trying to keep bullying the nerd well into adulthood. Like how is this any different from just hating them because “fucking geeks!”
Yeah incels and the worst offending jocks are just misanthropes who hate people deep down.
I thought this image originated from an angry little sister.
"On November 20th, 2020, iFunny[1] user Big_Ed posted a comic with the caption “I have decided to become a millennial comic artist. My original characters are:” followed by a depiction of two millennial stereotypes. "
No, it was just some guy with a 404’d iFunny account
missed out on being a whore
But if she WAS a whore she’s still bad to incels? So which is it??
Promiscuous women are anti-Madonnas because they won’t fuck me
Non-promiscuous women want to be promiscuous but can’t because they’re ugly (but still this and that because they won’t fuck me)
ding ding ding
I understand that the meme is problematic but I kind of loved it and it sucks if Quirk Chungus is becoming a right-wing thing
There’s nothing wrong with turning into the weird echoes of our parents as age and experience turns our skin to leather and our thoughts drift like dandelion seeds. So what if along the way you get quirked up and adopt a pet? Maybe meet someone who shares the wavelength you’re on?
This meme is just taking the meanest, least charitable look at a thing we’re all gonna go through.
Incels are beyond pathetic. Imagine thinking “having a sense of humour” is somehow a negative in a woman. Though I guess they only want women to exist as pure sexual objects, so literally any sort of personality is the threat to them. No idea why they hate the guy though, probably just jealous of literally any guy in a relationship and make up reasons why that is actually bad.
They always have this obsession with getting laid and forming a relationship, but their entire worldview makes both of those completely impossible. It’s like a controlling manipulative cult, except without a centralised leader.
Man Child
…that actually sounds closer to a superficial description of a Daoist Sage.
Running with that idea: With incels lacking inner peace*, they might find it confusing to encounter people who express some kind of comfort in their self and don’t define it through power displays?
*though inner peace is possibly the wrong word - coherence perhaps? assurance? Not being at peace doesn’t make someone an asshole. But that’s the limit of an off-the-cuff analogy!

So
but a womanLiterally just internet cool kids trying to dunk on “the nerds”.
Like I’ve actually been around those people. Chillest MFs you’ll ever meet. The WORST thing about them is that they’re “uncool”, and that’s unironically what sets these types off. They hate them for literally not being “cool”.
These types love to portray themselves as true geeks but will take any opportunity to punch down on actual nerds and geeks because they’re all just failed jocks.
Which is hilarious, because the incel types are always trying to look “cool” in social situations and are always the most uncool person in the room. Someone being a tryhard is always going to be less cool than someone who is just enjoying themselves.
The “manchild” is also kind of a massive hole in incel logic. The “manchild” is a nerd in a loving relationship. I’d also wager they have friends and are just trying to live their life…and this makes incels crash out.
Yeah, I thought incels saw themselves as manchildren because of “society” or the wamens forcing them to spend all day watching shitty harem anime instead of actually interacting with other humans. But it turns out being a manchild actually means being a mature adult in a long term relationship.
Well that one doesn’t fit the character either.
I had to look this one up. Seems to be another example of incels making up a person to be mad at: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/quirk-chungus
huh…first i’ve heard of it
Can’t wait to tell future generations fighting to survive that people used to engage in activism over their adaptions of their favourite ip and not mitigating the misery we are putting them through.
