Of course that comes from my Enclave bias, but I respect the Overseer's obsession of human genetic purity
Genetic purity is a lame goal when you consider how all living things mutate over time. If the human ancestors hadn't mutated at some point and lost their "original" genetic purity then humans wouldn't exist, and then where would those Enclave [censored] be? Crawling around in trees, going "oohh, ohh, ohh", and hurling fecal matter after one another? I don't know, maybe it's my anti-Enclave bias, but I don't respect people obsessed with genetic purity any more than I respect real-world humans obsessed with racial purity.
Humans are humans, regardless of the color, regardless of minor mutations or gene damage. People who think otherwise can go to hell, and I'd generally be happy to lend them a hand getting there. Obviously this applies to all groups, including the minorities, so Magneto, the Tenpenny-ghouls, and other such [censored] can burn along with the KKK, the Enclave, and all the other bigots, for all I care.
Anyways, I'm digressing. Point is that I hate bigoted people who dislike me for the wrong reasons. Don't hate me because my dad had brown eyes, dark brown hair, and a big nose. Hate me because I'm a bit of a [censored] at times, or because I simply rub you the wrong way, or because I'm approaching sociopath-levels of empathy towards people I decide that I don't like, or because I don't always know when to shut up. All those are valid reasons but please, don't hate me because my "race" isn't "pure". That's just mindless garbage.
Consequently of the above, I really want to stuff a shutgun up the nose of that overseer and dare him to insult me, or my father, just one more time. Obviously I also want to introduce that guy who bangs on his window in the beginning to a sledgehammer as well. Or better yet, tie him up and pour miniature fire ants into his pants. I suppose that requires waiting for Lesko to actually invent the damn things, though. Darn.
Butch gets a nasty dose of reality by ending up as a pansy hairdresser and eventually runs off to some bar deep into the hull of an old carrier, which as it happens is probably the most vault-like safe place around. And there he can get drunk while telling stories about how bad ass he was as a Tunnel Worm to people who have actually survived slavers and raiders and whatnot out in the real world. Thus he'll be the laughing stock of everybody and his only real skill is to be a hairdresser, which further undermines any claims he might make of being badass. That's poetic justice at its finest, isn't it?
Amata, your childhood friend who thanks you for saving her bony little ass by permanently kicking you out? Mostly a stupid brahmin, IMO, but then I suppose she's got little choice if she wants to actually remain in control. Gotta cry with the wolves you're among, as an old Danish saying goes. Which I suppose is a different way of saying that the majority of the Vault 101 dwellers are ignorant dumb[censored]s who really are mostly worthless at this point in time.
Then again, ignorance can be cured, so maybe there's hope for the people inside 101. Not like fear of the unknown isn't a part of human nature, just as much as being a complete bastard towards anything that isn't identified as being part of your own group. In that sense, I can mostly forgive the 101 dwellers. It's not directly their fault that long-time isolation has caused their perception of the world and humanity to become a garbled mess. Over time, exposure to the real world may rectify the problem.
By the way, I do apologize for my colored language. I'm under the impression that the sensor should catch most of it, but if anything overly excessive actually does manage to get through then I apologize in advance. I'm not an old lady nor am I religiously inspired to dislike strong language, and as a consequence I really have a hard time expressing deeply felt emotions in a PG-13 friendly manner.
