I seem to be encountering a lot of misunderstandings regarding this Cooper/Bud section in this video, which is maddening. Despite not saying anything negative about Cooper himself, I've noticed a significant number of responses taking my remarks as a personal attack on him. Criticisms are often perceived as personal attacks rather than opportunities to evaluate behaviors or societal norms. and it's annoying, because it hampers meaningful discussion and progress and get us stuck in perpetual arguments. Let me clarify: my criticism was not directed at Cooper personally, but rather at the societal allowances granted to individuals like him-allowances not extended to everyone. I just wanted people to see that what Cooper did is bold from the perspective of someone who lacks that privilege - never said it was bad. Never judged him. I would have said the exact same thing in his shoes. The point is I'm NOT wearing his shoes, and neither are most people. That's all. I realize as a content creator and communicator, I should always be receptive to feedback that helps me grow and communicate more effectively - but I even went as far as to say that EVERYONE should have the freedom to express themselves as Cooper did. How is that not a clear enough? This is what I find so maddening - the video is an hour long because I explain as deeply as I can imagine. How much disclaimer, contextual qualifiers do people need me to add? Most people think I over-think and over-explain as it is. I can only be so verbose. There comes a point where the responsibility has to somewhat fall on the comprehension skills of the audience. (Maybe I should start responding to comments like this with 'sounds like a skills issue' for my own amusement!) How can we address the unintended negative social impacts of choices made by privileged individuals if every critique is mistaken for a personal slight?

Loved the breakdown, and honestly I really liked the whole Bud/Cooper bit and the 'mediocre white man' confidence thing. While I've never heard it put like that before, from what little I've noticed in the comments, it seems there's a lot of defense for Cooper speaking up as having lived through those suits, 'war hero,' etc. But nothing about Cooper's character seems like he'd ever think of himself that way, and he's not really mediocre as he ends up being a movie star, but I'd go out on a limb to say from what I've sen of folks propping up Coop in that scene, it's because the privilege he has feels earned, while usually any mention of privilege tends to make it all out as some unearned imbalance. The word privilege itself has become a sort of loaded term, which makes discussions difficult. Cooper has privileges, if nothing else for the fact that if his wife wasn't a higher-up in Vault-Tec, that conversation likely never could've taken place to begin with. Bud also has privileges, and we find out he has quite a bit more than Cooper from a certain point of view, but as far as Cooper knew, Bud didn't hold any power in the exchange. Bud wasn't introduced as the boss of Coop's wife Barb, Coop was a lot more civil than most military folk I've known would've been in Coop's shoes, so as far as Coop was concerned he might have a stern talking-to from his wife about appropriate chit-chat with her co-workers. So, politely tell off the guy who was partially responsible for multiple, who-knows-how-many deaths of people you personally knew and risk a 'mind your manners' talk from the wife? worth it. But that mental math might've been very different if Bud was introduced as Barb's direct boss. I think the problem is that the term privilege is a loaded term these days in most discussions. It tends to be used as an epithet, an insult or as a sort of 'stolen valor' argument; rich people have privilege when spoken of as a generalized whole, but it can get very heated for some when discussing privilege if specific rich individuals are mentioned. Questions come up, did they 'earn' their fortune or was it inherited? How much 'actual' work did they do for it, and then debates over what is considered 'actual work.' To me, I try to sum up privilege as the power to take risks, and especially to damn the consequences. What power they have specifically doesn't matter, but the ability to mentally shrug and metaphorically say "Go on, what about it?" shows who holds the power regardless of where one's privilege derives. Some privileges are earned, some inherited, some societal, and so on, and people will quickly argue about which is a 'good' or 'bad' sort, so I stick to that concept of power. All the vault dwellers, compared to the surface folks, are privileged. But we know one vault dweller who seemed to get little to no respect, held no recognized authority or power, and surely would've been thought of as the least privileged in V33. But who seemed to hold all the cards when they said, "How do you demote someone who equally dislikes every job he's ever worked?" It certainly didn't feel like the trio of especially privileged overseers, including a V31 transfer, had any power in that discussion.

Privilege is just so emotionally loaded these days that I guess that kind of reaction was inevitable to some? I thought you explained it very well and took no issue with it. It just seems like people struggle to understand the difference between personal attack and objective statement. Cooper isn't a bad guy and you made that very clear in my opinion. If anything Coopers naivety together with his unwillingness to truly see where things are heading are much more of a flaw. The signs were everywhere he just didn't want certain things to be true because it would have shaken his worldview too much. Which is a painfully human thing to do. He just wanted to be happy - hence his offer to move to the country side. He lived in denial land because he had enough privilege to do so. At that point even his wife got mad at him because she saw things already much clearer than he did. Maybe that was the reason she decided to work with VaultTec in the first place.

Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I've been watching lots of Fallout commentary lately just to extend my obsession over the show, and I have to say that this video right here is the one I've enjoyed the most. Thank you for all the work you've put into this. I really appreciate the discussion of privilege and the work needed to undo that. You've articulated the reasons why I fell in love with Lucy's character development (so far... I hope season 2 is as well-written). You've also captured what it was exactly that I found off-putting about Cooper's pre-war story. I agree about the nuances of privilege that he enjoyed despite others taking issue. I think you pointing that out makes Ghoul's character arc all the more meaningful, actually. So, I just really wanted to thank you for this video. You've gained a subscriber and supporter in me! Please take your time for your next video... I, for one, understand the need to have certain things in place before diving into the work. (Plus, I am also a fellow Adobe/Windows defector.) So, I'd happily wait for your next piece. Heck, there doesn't even need to be a next one if you don't want to do one, to be honest. I'm just really glad you're here and that I found you. I wish I could support your quest for a new hard drive but alas... I am but a lowly slave to capitalism. I'll cheer you on, though! Can't wait to dive into your other content! Please take care and enjoy your day!

10/10 video I will defend the Cooper bud conversation because its bud admiting West-Tek knew about the flaws and sent it out anyways. And the people that died were friends and comrades of cooper. To me it feels as a statement from Cooper Howard, former Marine, not cooper howard, product/entertainer/actor. The Vault thing was also because Cooper only knew what he was told from Barb and from Vault 4, so he was wondering what the hell Barb meant by “one of the good vaults”. (I love my cynical cowboy)

Thanks for the 10/10! Never intended to knock Cooper, the whole point is he did exactly what a good dude would do in every situation he was handed. No need to defend someone from me that I feel I myself was defending. Standing up to West-Tek wasn't wrong, it was just privileged. I said all of us should be able to stand up to West-Tek like he did. I am not knocking privilege. I'm knocking privilege ignorance. Privilege = not good or bad. Privilege ignorance = bad. Standing up to West-Tek = good. Standing up to West-Tek without appreciation that not everyone can do such a thing = bad.

i think you've mebtioned before about being no contact with your family in a prior video, and i'm curious if you relate the insulated and ignorant lives of vault dwellers to your own circumstances/situations? Without going into too much detail, i'm very much of a similar situation, and i think your commentary on lucy and her holding onto positive ideals that she learnt in an otherwise toxic environment can relate heavily, if not to our shared experiencen then at least my own; its a similar journey of reflecting on my upbringing and chosing to hold onto aspects of an otherwise toxic and unhealthy lifestyle whilst also being open to learn and adapt when presented with new perspectives and information (the wasteland in lucy's example). Also just gotta say, i fucking relate hard af to the bit in the video about how there are no rules, just survival and influences/stimuli that push us in different directions and to the respective conclusions we do in w/e circumstances we face !!

My issue with you bringing up Oakridge is that what happened with the nuclear bombs also happened with a lot of military equipment of the day even before and since then and what I mean by that is that the first tank the people making it had no idea that they were producing a weapon of war they thought that they were making a water transportation vehicle the nuclear bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima the casualties from those two cities was projected to be far lower then any invasion that would have had to happen to bring Japan to its knees because Japan would have never surrendered or made peace because they had believed themselves to be that superior to the rest of the world even though that they had been losing the war the United States used Okinawa as a way of seeing what it would be to have to invade mainland Japan and most of the US high command agreed that to invade mainland Japan would have cost hundreds of thousands of lives and that would have been in just invading US troops this was not taking into account the civilians who would try to resist American forces and if you want to talk about horrible things look up the war crimes of Japan look into the stories of the Nations that Japan conquered look up the stories of geisha girls and if you know what that means did you already know Japan wasn't exactly innocent.

Hey so I’m not sure the mediocre white man part is fair to say about Coop Yes he’s a white man, but he was a war hero who deeply cared for his fellow soldiers, made it home to his wife and family, carved out a career in an industry renowned for difficulty in making it and in maintaining a family life, and maintained enough moral integrity to spy on his wife when hers was questioned to the degree it was clear she was working against humanities well being Coop is many things, earnest, caring, successful, and as the ghoul is ruthless, brutal and cold, but at no point is he really mediocre (he is 110% privileged; but also he went to war and saw soldiers die because of those flaws, his privilege is limited, both in its ability to protect him, and the fact he’s earned it himself means it can be taken away as easily, shown by the first episode performing birthday parties)

Zoom out psychologically and watch everything I said about him again.

In Episode 7, while "Goosey" is being led to the atrium for her judgement, she keeps saying "I'm a good person! I'm a good person!" Somebody stated that this statement carried a connotation of "I'm a civilized person who belongs in a vault". Because Lucy equates vaults with "civilization" and "civilized people" where those unwashed uncouth barbarians on the surface shouldn't belong. It is also why she pleads for Max to be allowed to stay, claiming that "he's a good person" i.e. "he's one of the good ones we should let in". Later, Lucy invites Max to live with her in 33, once again reiterating that he is a "good" person i.e. worthy of being granted the privilege to live in her vault. Your thoughts on this?

I do hope you do an analysis of the Barbie movie, because it being touted as some kind of feminist masterpiece was honestly an affront to women’s liberation movements. The whole movie was a Mattel advertisement. Under different production circumstances, it might have had useful critiques of capitalism, but I left the theatre feeling like it was actually the opposite of a critique.
@lindsaysfallout
@lindsaysfallout 6 ай бұрын
Yeah. As a feminist movie the metaphor doesn't track but as a privilege movie it does. If you realize that "barbie in barbieland" is basically "suburban white guy in America" it all of the sudden makes sense. The movie is about gender, but only insofar as how using gender as a metric for privilege. (Privilege has many metrics - race, religion, socioeconomic status, neurotype, etc.) I think we'd have the same problem with using any metric - the metric becomes the focus instead of what it's measuring. Fallout doesn't use a real-world metric, being science fiction, so that's why science fiction is a better setting to tell these types of stories. Also accepting the privilege reading of Barbie also means accepting its scathing commentary about the less privileged as well. (Example - Ken is too busy throwing himself a musical number to take real action when the Barbies are busy taking his rights away.) Accepting the privilege reading of the movie means people on all sides of the issue would actually have to eat some humble pie digesting it, which they clearly aren't doing. But, uh, FYI, dismissing the Barbie movie as "just an advertisement" just because you personally didn't gather what it had to say is a bit yuck. Maybe if you had said "it felt like a Mattel advertisement" as opposed to "the whole movie was a," I would feel differently. The difference is, one would be a statement of intent and the other would be a statement of impact. It's valid to say the impact it had on you felt like an advertisement, but suggesting that advertising was it's intention is obnoxious. I wish that people like you were more humble and assumed they missed the message rather than lean on interpretations that there was no worthwhile message. It may sound like I'm nitpicking here, but from my perspective, the world isn't nitpicky enough about the words they're choosing. There are confusing arguments all across the internet all the time because the language doesn't differentiate between people's personal preferences and how they believe the world ought to behave. If we mean our own personal feelings and not what we see as flat truth, we ought to clearly differentiate that as often as we can. Some people really do flatly believe the Barbie movie has no artistic merit beyond an advertisement just because they can't perceive such, and I hope that's not you.

@@lindsaysfallout For sure - perhaps I was harsh and hyperbolic with how I phrased that. I’ll admit it comes from feeling defensive about criticizing it within community circles - and I greatly appreciate you pointing it out!

In its most flattering light I choose to see it as a story about what it means to be human - the expectations that are put on us, the internal experience versus external, the journey in finding beauty in struggle as well as triumph

@@lindsaysfallout well I was essentially saying that the video was needlessly long and half of it is a blatantly obvious theme about the vaults. With Cooper, you say that you wish you could talk to a war profiteer like that, as if his cis male whiteness is why Bud is talking to Cooper at all. Id say Bud is trying to talk to him due to his celebrity status, with the cherry on top of having actual combat experience. Id say that's why Cooper can say a single word to Bud to begin with. Now, with the obvious theme, the creators of the fallout series used the vaults to depict the privilege of a comfortable life, in the stark contrast to the brutal, unforgiving, and sometimes even cunning wasteland. Its odd you talk about it like its something new, when its been a central theme of the franchise for 27 years now.

Wouldn't you think anyone paying attention to that series already understands that is a main theme to the Spiderman franchise?

"His dialogue here is worthy to be tattooed on my body and I'm not sure if I'm joking."
