This is the western Brotherhood too, not those homo space marine papers from out east.I came here to complain about "Dane". Clocked her instantly. She acted like a male stereotype but her voice was too high pitched and her frame was far too wirey. I immediately got flashbacks from 2 years ago watching Our Flag Means Death, which was a show that had decent potential but had some offputting behavior from one of the actresses.
In that show, Vico Ortiz (a "non-binary" actress) plays a woman that is pretending to be a man so she can sail and commit piracy without the men stranding her on shore. Once she is revealed to be female and the rest of the crew seems okay with it, she asks the rest of the crew to continue calling her "Jim" and to not treat her as female, to which they oblige. It sounds like Vico Ortiz actually has a history of doing just this: accepting a role that isn't "queer", then pesters and pressures the director to make her character non-binary.

Dane's inclusion felt very similar, hence my tangent. Amazon wasn't going to play it off as a butch lesbian, or try to outright say "that ugly woman over there is simply an underdeveloped man". The fucking Brotherhood elder used they/them pronouns to refer to Dane in the third person. Anyone that's played the games knows that LGBT+ nonsense doesn't fly with the Brotherhood, they need to breed. Veronica was a pariah of the Hidden Valley bunker for simply being a carpet muncher, there ain't no way they're going to take in outsiders that are playing pattycake over what's in their pants. This is a case of stilted and ugly actresses being forcibly put into roles that don't make sense just to improve muh kuhweer visuhbilitee.
I was fine with the jew’s Fallout fanfiction when it was contained in the worse part of the country. The West has fallen, billions must be crucified
