FWIW, Ray Bradbury used to argue that Fahrenheit 451 wasn’t about censorship at all, but the dumbing down of society.

Once work leaves the hands of an author, the author no longer controls the narrative, or how the narrative is interpreted.

Kinda curious where this energy is when an incel calls a video game woke propaganda for having a female main protagonist.

Ok, then replace propaganda with a different word. My point still stands.

Fallout is about me, my dog, and my walking tank armor. Who cares about capitalism when i have ghouls and super mutants to hunt?

Maybe the beauty of art lies in the infinite variety of unexpected interpretations…

Or, in his own words

“I don’t think I have any themes that run in common in all my games (maybe mistrust of power),” said Cain, but “people will interpret my games in all kinds of ways. And that’s ok. Everyone brings their own perspective, and a story can mean different things to different people.”
