Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show

It’s like how I can’t stand to watch Kevin Spacey movies after we all found out about who he is.

Does it mean he’s no longer a talented actor? No. Does it make his movies suck? No. Does it taint everything he ever did and now seeing him reminds you of how shitty he is as a person?

a Resounding and emphatic- YES.

That would be a good comparison if Fallout as a franchise was a person who committed sexual assault I guess

  The crime doesn’t have to equate to ha e the same effect. Someone should have probably explained this to you by now.
  
  When I said, “It’s like….” I didn’t mean “it’s identical to…” Understanding nuance goes a long way in these cases.

    The crime doesn’t have to equate? Why bring up Kevin Spacey’s crimes at all? How is that relevant to not liking the direction a franchise went?
    
    I don’t feel that “this franchise went in a bad direction, so now I can’t enjoy the previous works” is anything like “this person is a sexual predator, so now I can’t enjoy their previous works”.
    
    It would be really awkward to watch a known sexual predator in a movie, even if the movie predates the crime. The existence of the Fallout TV show has no effect on Fallout 1 as a game.
    
    What a weird turn this conversation took lol

    Are you purposefully missing the point in favor of grandstanding, or did you seriously not understand the comparison for what it was?

if thats the case, everybody should have stopped liking fallout after the brotherhood of steel game came out. and yet they didnt.
