This has been over looked many times but after reading the Vault a little more carefully than usual I found alot of evidense that they are against supermutants:

Jacobstown-
Not just the mercenaries that were hired by the NCR to antagonize and then kill the supermutants there but there very existance. Why would they move away from Gecko unless the NCR pushed them away?

Mean Sonofa[censored]-
A supermutant who was captured by the NCR in the Hub, held prisoner and tortured by them. His tongue was cut off by them and (apparently) the public knew about him because Klamath Bob tried to buy the poor supermutant's freedom. He wasn't freed until Tabitha and her supermutants rescued him.

How can so many people overlook this could hard evidense! They hate peaceful supermutants, and yet people still see them as white knights (just like Lyons' BoS, which is racist against ghouls).

Many people still don't like Mutants due to their past history?

It maybe be because of the Unity or they just hate them as a species.

Fallout 3 gave a majority of people a bad influence on mutants.

Super Mutants aren't generally friendly folks. They tried to exterminate humanity (as we know it), many kept fighting decades after Master's death and they still pose a threat on an individual level. Very few mutants are sane, even if friendly. Nightkin are the worst offenders. Sure there are mutants like Marcus who are friendly, sane and liberal at the same time but Marcus is but one mutant. I haven't seen many of his type, which is worrying as there were probably (tens of?) thousands of Super Mutants at their zenith.

I'd say mutant hate is justified.

But that really shouldn't affect NCR backstory about what they did to supermutants.



I understand that its generally justifiable, I'm just stating to all of those who believe the NCR is God's gift as a perfect faction that that is not the case.

And I think there were tens of thousands of supermutants, not positive though.

It probably would be only if they actually shoot to kill instead of them deliberately missing in order to either see if they are feral or telling them to stay out of the way.


Basically what Pistolero said

I think its more likely they're racist. Feral ghouls would charge at them (and they know it), they just attack them on sight because they don't like mutated creatures (humans are barely mutated so that doesn't really count to them.
