Considering the fact that our world is pretty messed up in general, and the current status of the PC bro and SJW movement. It´s sometimes rather hard to tell the difference between a joke (or trolling) from actual SJW/PC bro statements and creations. In this case though, I´m 99.9% sure that the Fallout plus mod is just a joke. For example, just look at the picture. The Pipboy has all the stereotypical SJW, PC Bro and feminist looks and features there is (I bet that the Pipboy´s shirt has been inspired by a certain famous female feminist “game critic” for example). All of that sounds really lovely for sure (sarcasm). However, it appears as if nexusmods has removed the mod from their database. Even so, I´m going to admit that I laughed quite a bit when I read the description for the Fallout 4 mod:
“This mod aims to make Fallout 4 more progressive and promote diversity and inclusivity by renaming “Super Mutant Suicider” to the less problematic “Super Mutant Refugee”. It´s a much-needed counter to the transmisogynistic culture of toxic masculinity and white supremacy promoted by mutantphobic harasser, which contributes to systemic institutionalized oppression of minorities in Boston. Go to your install folder (typical C:/My Progressive Games/Fallout 4)
Place file in the Data/Strings folder”
It´s of course very likely that the Fallout Plus mod was nothing more than a joke (it leans more towards being an SJW troll attempt than anything else). Nevertheless, the mod could very much have been 100% serious. Because like I mentioned earlier, in today’s world, it´s not easy to tell the difference between a joke, from a legit statement, creation or whatever when it comes to SJWs (yes, the world has become a very messed up place). Scary enough though, Fallout 4 would probably have been like this from the very start if the SJWs have had a final say during the game’s development process. My point would be this, when I wrote my “A response to the “do not censor Street Fighter V petition” for Rainbow Mika’s butt-slap” article, I pointed out that we must put our foot down for censorship and people who get offended and triggered by everything and nothing. Because if we don’t, all games might actually become like the Fallout Plus mod for real in the future. So even though the Fallout Plus mod is nothing more than a joke (for sure), it still raised some serious concerns and thoughts as well (like the matters that I just mentioned).
With that said, feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on the matter in the comment section down below!
