Totally agree. Don't hold back Tim!

yall like LONG things

He really has that hour long video voice🤣😮‍💨

He has such a nice and comforting chocolate voice, it's really calming to listen to. 😺 ​@@Angel-Otk

Yeah I wish his videos were longer, lol

what about sending death threats to homophobes and racists

@@im_4wsum its not ok at all. you are just putting yourself at their level. ignoring them is the way to go. you cant make everyone happy.

@@moonprincess_xoxo true character right jere

Especially after liking the game at first, and then finding out later

The abominable moral weight of a death threat aside, imagine thinking “yeah this guy’s been making awesome-ass industry-defining games for too long, shut him down”

That's a beautiful way to think about it, honestly.

just a horrible developer

@@susanthejew6351 You talking about Tim or the bigot?

Yeah, as a straight-presenting white man approaching middle age, sometimes bigots assume that I'll share, or at least tolerate, their opinions. I hate that, and do what I can to be known as someone who "wouldn't understand."

@@lepidus2918 She's a receptionist, the hell do you think?

same but hey its just a small part of who he is and not his identity and that's cool

@@quillclock Sound just like his coworkers.

Which is how it should be, you only know if you asked. A coworker of mine is gay and I only found out after like a year of working together, I was like „huh“ and continued my work.

@@kotzpenner I disagree with that, people are patriotic about their country, they are passionate about their interests so i think ppl should also be able to express their pride with their identity

@@EnclaveHistorian But why? Why be prideful of something you didn't accomplish yourself? I find it hard to understand. I never ever consider the sexuality of any of my freinds or coworkers, I just don't care about it (unless it's relevant, which it almost never is). I can't be proud of my blonde hair, but I can be proud of my eventual college degree for example.

Cant tell that Tim is gay.....maybe other gays should take a clue

wouldn't tell im straight-up homophobic but as many people out there i always had some prejudice and stereotypes. and to find out that the creator of one of my most adored franchises is gay, and much more importantly, very chill and cool guy, definately made me much more open-minded (and loyal i guess?) towards those people. also i live in central asia and whole gay topic is pretty taboo in here, so that would expain my carelessness regarding gay people haha, i still love Fallout though :)

@@meatflu237 That's pretty cool of you to admit (even if anonymously and that's probably a good idea, as you'd probably get "canceled" nowadays otherwise, lol, even though your good intentions are clear, which I hate about cancel culture) and I agree that you'd think it would make someone doublecheck their homophobia learning a dude that made one of their favorite games was gay, so it's good to see that was the case. I for one, "way back" in like 2000, graduating high school, everyone I knew used a gay slur as an insult for doing anything they thought was dumb, overly emotional for a man, or just negative in general. I actually refused to do it, and told them to imagine if someone was "in the closet" (hiding they're gay for fear of rejection/bullying) and heard all of you calling your friends an insulting slur for gay people in response to anything you see as negative. At the same time, I didn't defriend those people and one of them became one of my best friends, and I understood that sadly, it was just the dominant cultural trend among teens at the time (especially boys), so I don't blame them for it and I guess because they respected me, they did catch on to what I was saying. That taught me the value of standing up for people, if anything.

>Gay >Normal *Pick one and only one.*

Honestly this happened to me. Bi was a big fan of Neil Patrick Harris I was also raised to be very Christian. When he came out I actually did do some soul searching and realized I had no logical reason to dislike him other than some what others told me the Bible said rather than what I had read. I'm no longer Christian but I'm still a NPH fan.

Or as modern Australians say 你是一个坚定的传奇

Ok so, why is it "astounding" that he's gay? It's not special, there is no pride to be had in something you're born with. It makes no sense to claim such. Ridiculous.

@@theincrediblefella7984 because I relate to him in that way and that brings me joy. I'm sorry you don't relate to that but that doesn't mean you need to challenge how I feel about something.

@@Madadader I am not challenging you on it, i am telling you that, factually, there is no pride to be had in something you can't control and are born with. That's like if i said i had "red-head pride" because i have red hair. It makes no sense. And if i say "Male pride" because i'm male, that's suddenly problematic isnt it? Do not feel sorry for me, there is nothing to be sorry about, as i'm not missing out on anything. That's fine that you relate to him, i'm not belittling you for that. I am, as i said, calling out the ridiculous notion of "gay pride" and the demonization of those who challenge that viewpoint.

@@theincrediblefella7984 Okay. Great. I'm gonna go back to celebrating my identity now. Lmao.

@@theincrediblefella7984 nobody "demonized" your view point. People criticized you for being an a-hole, it's different. I'm going to, very superficially, explain the reason why "gay pride" makes sense and "male pride" doesn't, ok? How in 2023 you still don't know is beyond me, but ok. Gay people are constantly harassed for being gay. People are attacked, even killed, because of it. Parents make their kids leave home without any support just because they are gay. They can lose jobs. So, to be openly gay you need to also be brave. And it's nice to celebrate that bravery. In a more extreme example, it's brave for a woman to go to school in Iran, but it's not brave for a man to go to school there. Being straight doesn't necessitate any bravery. People accept straight people. Nobody cares if there's straight couples in kids stories. But to have a single gay character in a Disney movie is enough for backlash. There are books being banned from schools because they have gay characters in them. While the "male pride" makes no sense, since there's no one forbidding people from being "male". There's no risk that your parents will throw you out if you are male. You won't have to announce to your family and friends that you are male. Nobody expects you to be female and you, bravely, decided to be male. And, to finish it off, I suppose you should also find any and all patriotic demonstration to be equally dumb, right? Since celebrating the fact you were born in a specific place should be even more alien to you than celebrating your own sexuality and your community... However I don't think that's the case. Don't think you go criticizing people with American flags on the internet...

I didn't understand this joke, can you explain it to me?

@@bug9657 Normal blood types describe the presence of a few different groups: A, B, and Rh. Someone A- has the A group, but is missing the Rh factor.

I am A+, so I got the RH question right :D

@@killgriffinnow that’s not very friendship is magic of you

Now you got me crying 😭 Happy Pride 💜

@@thefoxoflaurels3437 because the statement is just weird. "you're gay like me, and that brings a tear to my eye" It just comes across as very childish. Why does it make you cry? Why do you care so much? Why are you emotionally unstable that yuo cry at the gayness of some guy? It's ridiculous.

@@theincrediblefella7984 Why do YOU care? Let people be.

he didn't work on Fallout:New vegas AFAIK

@@g-man6775 Why did you comment that while missing the entire point, I did not say he worked on fallout NV 💀 I know he didn't work on fallout NV. I was just talking about my experience in my favorite franchise and fallout NV is one. You can't be gay in fallout 1, but you can in fallout 2 which he kinda worked on, but I wasn't old enough to play fallout 2 at the time. Notice how I mentioned the sims? Ofc he didn't make the sims. I'm talking about my experience, not who made what.

Your comment about your Mum asking how it "works" reminded me of the "Orientation" skit by SMBC Theatre on KZfaq. Hillarious.

in islam 1400 years ago prophet muhammad mention 1400 years ago that paraphrase ( one of sighs of judgment day is gay and lesbian widespread ) , we all serve allah/god after all weather people do good or bad all is written in fate and they will be punished in judgment day if they not repent for awful sin they did

Agreed!

Meeting that guy at Mojave Outpost starts flirting with you... As a straight male teen I blushed 😂

I loved both Arcade and Veronica because they were well-written likable characters. I never got the feeling that the writers were pushing an agenda.

Arcade and Veronica are great. Their sexualities are just as important as any other companion. However, I really get sad every time I finish Dead Money and my character can't run to Veronica and say "hey, I think I found your ex-girlfriend... Christine, right? She's guarding father Elijah. Take Vera's dress. And I can take you there, if you want." Those two really deserved a happier ending. Plus, the courier can be L, G or B, and that's amazing. One operation in the clinic near Vegas and we could've had a T courier as well...

@@JonathanRossRogers that's because there is very seldom ever an "agenda" being pushed in the first place. All that's going on is people living their life, nothing more nothing less.

@@giftenjoyer3664 I respect that the way you act is sensible given your beliefs. I suppose we're just fundamentally different in belief and changes in belief are very rare (we'll have to go on accepting each other or else we'll get angry over nothing changeable); I believe homosexuality isn't a choice but rather a fundamental configuration of the brain. If I believed homosexuality was a choice and also bad, the cost of being wrong is that I hurt good people like myself over something they can't change, and I would really hate to be treated that way. (In that case, if I was homosexual, I wouldn't have a _choice_ ; I would either go against my nature and die sad, or go with it and die having lived a life. Me being heterosexual, I go with my nature to have lived a life (I wouldn't try to go against my heterosexuality if society were to tell me homosexuality is normal), and that shouldn't change if I were different.) I want to avoid people who would hurt me if I were different. Because I can't control who I am now (admittedly a straight white person), and I don't want uncontrollable things to be a factor. I've been hurt by disloyal people in life, and people who discriminate on uncontrollables automatically fail that criteria of loyalty (or so my survival instincts tell me). Have a nice day, regardless. Thank you for sharing honest thoughts.

I never quite understood why they always phrased it as being "shoved down my throat". Like, is that supposed to be an intentional euphemism, or do they just say that because that's supposedly how everyone else phrases it?

"War never changes". Oops wrong quote.

Is there a dilemma with the freedom of association thing?

​@@Wintd1Just how everyone phrases it. Just like how I don't like having religion shoved down my throat.

Im pretty sure fallout was the first game ever to feature gay marriage

Agreed, it's an interesting topic. The microagression mechanic in South Park: Fractured But Whole was a really clever way to poke fun at how people encode microagressions into their language.

I get "microagressions" made against me all the time because I'm white. I guess that doesn't matter though. Gays are a "protected"

Coming from South America that kind of stuff is seen as "normal" in some of my friend groups and ngl as a bi guy that stuff has bothered me since I found out my sexual orientation but well I'm out and ik people who are respectful so yeah

What are you doing commenting on a video and not playing the System Shock remake 😂

@@robreich6881 been playing the shit out of it and it is one of the best examples of a remake I’ve ever played for sure!

Happy gay! Pleas, who is Bill Cosby? Is also gay?

The only thing we can really hope is that this is a lot like the discourse around gay people in the 80s and 90s, where it's the last angry gasps of people being awful before things become... at least significantly less awful.

It’s definitely more tolerant than most of the world is. Trying being gay in most of Africa, Middle East, other areas of Asia and pretty much half of Europe

Embarrassingly stupid comment.

We are more tolerant than how a very loud and obnoxious part of the population makes us look.

@@TheVerinen2 our polish "lgbt free zones" for example

Uh what are you talking about, USA is probably one of the most accepting countries for homosexuality. Europe isn't far behind, but Europe also isnt 1 or 2 countries - there's still alot of Europeans who think homosexuality is wrong such as Belarus, Serbia, Turkey, Hungary, etc (mostly because Europeans have religion dominating their morality)

those two crowds, not mutually inclusive. Plus real homophobes are a dying breed, Haven't seen one in the last 5 years.
