The Special Snowflake in Desert: A Fallout 3 AAR

Hottentot · 05-13-13, 01:31 PM

Due to popular demand (put that knife away, Dowly!) it's time for another AAR. Besides, I've been promising this for a while and now is as good time as any.

I don't think Fallout 3 needs any introduction on this forum, so let's just say a few words about the story this time. I haven't made fun of my own kind for a while and besides, I need to vent after years of putting up with exactly the kind of people targeted in this AAR. You will see soon enough what I'm talking about, so no spoilers in the intro.

Dedicated with a friendly wink to all you fellow academics out there (CCIP, Takeda and the others), but also with thanks to you less educated people among us: believe me, without knowing a good bunch of you and enjoying the common sense and talking about something more interesting than politics and school in your company on regular basis, I would have become mad(er) ages ago.

So put on your totally-globally-conscious-and-ethical-sunglasses on and let's see how the special little snowflake will fare in the heat of post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Hi! I'm Laura-Anne! I'm a vegetarian! And a feminist! And I support green values! And I'm ten times smarter than you! Who are you, by the way? OK! Let's talk more about me!

I remember when I was born! It was exciting! I remember there was lots of white and red! That's why I dyed my hair pink! To remind me of that time! It's like the karmic law, you know what that is? Oh, no matter!

The first thing I saw was a person whom I thought must be my mother, because she looked smart and stuff! But it was already then that I got my first touch to the patriarchy!

Can you imagine? Like, I was just born and they, like, totally wanted me to already categorize myself to their patriarchal gender roles before they wanted to know anything about my political consciousness! Seriously!

Like, since when is that a yes or no question? My best friend Bianca-Peter says that you can be both if you want! It's your choice! This is a free world and I refuse to be opressed by the old, dirty men who don't even know what Facebook is!

And then right after I had answered that question, there was this old man who wanted me to call him "daddy"! That's, like...eeeww!

And of course he started treating me like a sex object right away! Telling me to define what I look like! And I was also supposed to choose this "race", like, you know, if I'm like black or white or what! The obvious racism of the oppressive patriarchy came clear to me as soon as I was born and I understood that it is my mission to make the world better place by telling everyone what my political opinions are! And save animals too! Except the fishes: they are slimy and you can't pet them at all!

Go away! You can't touch me in that place! I'm an emancipated person!

My childhood was highly traumatic. I have no idea what happened to my mother, but I grew up with the daddy parent who very much tried to opress me with his gender and age roles.

Like, I remember all the toys I had were, like, totally boy toys! It was to make me miserable!

He didn't let me think on my own, but forced thousands of years old patriarchal values on me with these propaganda posters littered around my room!

And he totally tried to shove the commercial capitalism down my throat and not let me play with the anarcho-syndicalists living in the next room.

The phallic symbols above my bed didn't help either.
