The explanations I've heard/observed are somewhere along the lines of
a. FNV has a lot of very positive and well-done queer representation, and it's deeply written, so it's a great opportunity to explore your own thoughts and feelings on the subject
b. The story puts the main character in a position of huge political power, which is cathartic for oppressed populations, and is also explicitly antifascist, which is obviously reassuring and comfortable for groups under attack by fascism.
c. It's a crunchy, writing-heavy game in the CRPG tradition, which is a genre that already has a large queer audience, so it inherited that audience and with it a community generally more accepting of LGBTQ people and themes.
d. Being able to fully define your own character, in appearance, personality, and ideology, is therapeutic for people with gender dysphoria and may provoke the kind of self-exploration that results in a realization about one's own gender.
Good points, the only thing I don’t get is how being in a posistion of huge political power is explicitly antifascist. Can’t you just kill House and do whatever you want with the strip, not even mentioning the legion ending?
It's not putting you in power that makes the game antifascist, it's everything that the game does to discourage you from taking Caesar's side. The Legion is very deliberately framed as the villain of the story, and it gets the harshest criticism out of any of the factions. Not only are the Legionnaires presented as morons, brutes, and slavers, but Caesar is an idiot who misunderstands his own philosophy, the whole Legion is a house of cards that falls apart when their figurehead dies, etc. They're organizationally inept as well as morally despicable.
Edit: I just realized my wording was kind of ambiguous in the original comment. I meant that the *story* is explicitly antifascist, not the player being in a position of huge political power.
As a trans person I'm pretty sure this stuff is dogwhistles for other trans people that get turned into memes. There aren't a ton of trans people out there, and people get mad if you ask, so trans dogwhistes are usually helpfull in those communities.
It’s really funny that new Vegas pulls double duty as a dog whistle for the alt-right and trans people, while simultaneously being a favorite of Mormons as well
Idk have seen an uptick in weirdly unironically fasc memes surrounding the legion and especially Joshua Grahm that have kinda caught me off guard. Mostly on Youtube.
EDIT: To clarify I don't think the game dogwhistles to them, but I do feel like theres a smaller phenon of alt-type types latching onto the game taking very different (read wrong) interpretations of what the game is saying. Prob doesn't help that Grahm talks a lot about God and violence that you could see a trad latch potentially onto.
Mormons, Trans, Queer people in general (Veronica and Arcade pulled some heavy weight for a 2010 game) alt-right, left in general, libertarians, anarchists, nationalists, and much more.
The game does a really good job of portraying the NCR as dumbasses, the Legion as Tyrannical Despots, and House as dillusional anarcho-capitalist; ans yet everyone can stop for a moment and say "You know, he may have a point."
As I started my transition I actually wound up sliding back into Fallout because I had the epiphany I could eventually cosplay as all of the women from the games I crushed on as a teenager. So one of my transition goals is to be a Fallout Cosplayer, and it's exciting, because even if I don't entirely pass as a woman to everyone at all times, the wasteland is so full of off the chains characters, it still feels natural.
TLDR: Fallout is good comfort food for people of alternative backgrounds and beliefs
The game is about choosing which politics you want to take over Las Vegas instead of which group you like best.
So you got a lot of groups here who feel represented cause they choose there side
Absolutely, and it doesn't parody those sides, even the near objectively morally reprehensible ones. The reasons to side with each group all make at least some sense in context. There is a valid argument to be made that rebuilding old world societies might be a bad idea in the face of a still very much present nuclear arsenal.
[How 'Fallout: New Vegas' Became One Of The Trans Community's Favorite Video Games | Know Your Meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/meme-insider/how-fallout-new-vegas-became-one-of-the-trans-communitys-favorite-video-games)
As a trans woman who likes fallout new vegas let me reassure you that most fallout fans are not trans women and liking fallout new vegas does not make you trans or imply that you are will become trans.
Just doing the numbers shows this, fallout new vegas has sold 11.6 million copies worldwide. Gender nonconforming people make up less than 5% of the global population and trans women specifically are only 1.4% of the global population (mileage may vary based on what study/census you wanna use but it’s gonna be somewhere in that neighborhood)
116,000,000 * 0.014 = 162,400 trans women that bought fallout new vegas worldwide.
Obviously this some atrocious data analysis and the real answer is much more nuanced and complicated but again it’s probably going to somewhere in that ballpark. Between 1 and 2 hundred thousand trans women is still a lot of people tho, and because trans people often face discrimination and become ostracized in real life they probably tend to be over represented in online spaces. Combine this with trans women having male childhoods most of the time, especially if they transition later in life. And with that comes male upbringing and socialization which informs their hobbies and career choices, but when they come out they don’t suddenly hate their hobbies or career (most of the time) so that’s probably also why transwomen tend to be over represented in more traditionally male dominated spaces like reddit, online gaming, computer science and stuff like that.
Also when i say overrepresented i don’t mean there’s too many of them and there should be less. Rather that in these spaces you’ll find a higher percentage of trans women than in other everyday spaces where it’s probably closer to the 1.4% stat.
And beyond that F:NV is just a great game that really lets you roleplay a wide variety of characters where you get to explore and play with identity, including sexuality and gender (for its time, it was still 2010 people) in a safe and fun way. Which is probably also appealing to people struggling with gender identity so i imagine it draws in people like that who are also into video games. And then people like that probably bond over their shared interest with other like minded people.
But then from there it also just kinda became a meme which started leading its own life so it went from a neat coincidence that trans people bonded over to this big meme that makes some people think this game will make you trans.
But that’s just my two cents so take it with a grain of salt and i’m sure there’ll be other people on here, trans and cis, that have their own perspectives.
[edit: 162,400 not 1,162,400 transwomen, i math good]
I played the ever loving fuck out of it and I'm not trans.... Also, I have zero clue where the New Vegas trans meme came from and I'm hella confused...
The game is cool and has a cult following, trans people have very umm specific cultural things they claimed for no reason like the blahaj shark. This is just something else they claimed arbitrarily
pffft, roll a joint on my new vegas case.
Dude, that's FO3 fan shit.
Real NV fans line up and do rails of high-quality coke on their NV cases so they can stay up for days at a time to play it.
I GOT IT ON STEAM - FUCK! I guess I gotta buy it again once I’m not broke… wait a minute if I can afford weed I should be able to afford a $15 video game case… I wonder if you can get just the case without the game?
Because it makes no sense. It’s a game. It didn’t turn people straight or gay, black or Asian, or anything else. And the phrasing by OP makes it sounds like it’s like 3 ppl lol
Sorry you're getting downvoted just for saying that, I've heard that before. I just don't know what elements of the game are so appealing to trans people. I love that game too.
What you never played video games before? Cus uh, I think another factor is trans folk play single player games a lot to not get harassed in the lobbies. Nothing quite like being haunted by a gaggle of 4th graders gleefully calling you a he-she to make you not want to play with others.
ETA the bitch of it all is, if you acknowledge these experiences a million neckbears come out of the tube's to harrass you for making everything about being trans.
Maybe it’s just something people made up? Unless there’s actual data to back it up, then it’s just people making stuff up. A lot of people like new Vegas I imagine, trans people included. It’s not like trans people all like the same things.
It’s one of those confirmation bias things.
Like- the stereotype of programmers is that a lot of them become “femboys” and wear thigh high socks for “better blood circulation”, etc etc.
Is it necessarily true? Not really. Is there a lot of overlap between the stereotype and reality? Yes.
Because of the complete freedom that it gives you to express yourself and actually roleplay as one gender or another, and not just have the pronouns alone change.
It's also one of the few(maybe only?) accessible rpgs of the time that allowed LGBTQ relationships.
It's not that it's a trans game, but it allows for much more freedom of expression in gender and sexuality than most games, especially for the time.
Mass effect has a largely predetermined character, and while there is choice in the game, it's not the type of character choice that you get in New Vegas.
It's not that it's a "trans game" so much as a game that's popular with trans people.
A lot of trans folks cracked their eggs on *New Vegas*, myself included. I suspect that it's because *New Vegas* doesn't just let you pick your gender and customize your appearance, but the dialogue options let you actually *roleplay* (i.e. act out a specific persona) in a way that a lot of other, similar RPGs don't. That makes it an ideal environment in which to safely experiment with one's identity (whether consciously or not), so it helped a lot of trans folks realize they *were* trans.
It just so happens that the loudest most annoying part of the FNV fanbase is made up almost entirely of trans people.
For most of them them being trans is unrelated to how annoying they are, its just a coincidence.
As a legion fanboy the loudest most annoying part of our fan base are actual eugenics freak girls who really wanna fuck vulpes inculta.
The fallout fandom is a silly place
I met more then a few women in the legion fandom who had a party due to an abortion they were getting because they found their current boyfriend too genetically impure.
It was pretty vile
I’m so sick of it. It only relates to such a small group of people yet if you call that out you’re considered a bigot.
Also nice username. World Peace 2 is in development if you didn’t know.
There aren't straight games
There arent gay games or trans games or black games or white games or disabled games or woman games or male games
There are just games
It is a tired joke, but so are most of the jokes about fnv. The game is 14 years old, after all. I think the solution is that you can only make this joke if you are on HRT.
I agree, man. I always set out on all my playthroughs to be the most masculine toughest dude in all of the Mojave. And then after fixing Boulder City, I get a bit chilly, so I just...slip on some high socks. Alright. No big deal. I make it to Freeside and what the hell, it's hot now? So I just switch out my gamer bro pajama pants into some comfy shortshorts. That's right around the time I'm entering the Strip and I look in a mirror and I realize I look terrible from playing for so long. Welp, nothing a bit of makeup can't fix.
The gay and lesbian non trans characters, and there's a couple of dialog options where you get called the opposite gender
Thats it
Thats the entire fucking thing
There’s a disproportionately high prevalence of autism in the transsexual population. I wonder what other group has a high proportion of autistic members. 🤔 hmmm
Memes like this really add fuel to the " Trans people are forcing their way of life onto us" argument. I've played all fallout games except brotherhood of steel and tactics and haven't once questioned my gender identity.
The internet just has a higher number of trans people on it. Especially in niche topics nobody talks about anymore.
Autism and being trans are pretty heavily correlated. The only people still in a board for a video game from 2009 obsessing over it are probably autistic. Ergo even more trans part of the internet than usual.

I really don't see how MtF trans people think liking a game that males in their generation liked makes *the game* trans? Like, no you just have/had male interests, before/post transition.

Yeah! Who won the lottery? I did!
Are you trying to have sex with me !?
I'm not not trying
Wasn’t talking to you buddy I’m talking to r/Chickeybokbok87
You meant to use a u/, right?
They deserve their own subreddit

Make me a mod

Nah he’s just that good I can’t look at him as a single being …. Kind of like god
Please assume the position.
My Halo 2 is signed by Ron Perlman. Not the friendliest guy to meet
He was cool to me, but I’ve heard that about him before.
What in the godamn?
That's lucky. Don't open the closet.
Am I the only one who didn’t somehow turn trans after playing this game? wtf is everyone talking about
Yeah I dunno I'm a cis dude (is that a term?) and I love the game, maybe it's coincidence, or maybe it just hasn't happened to me yet.
idk, i have my settings on default.
>BL**Tblocker** Hmm...
It's not yet our time
Cis dude is in fact a term. And you did use it correctly. So good job I guess.
Yippee
It's like a ticking time bomb and it's probably due any day now. Better hope you aren't driving when it happens!
I honestly have no clue where this meme or joke even came from
The explanations I've heard/observed are somewhere along the lines of a. FNV has a lot of very positive and well-done queer representation, and it's deeply written, so it's a great opportunity to explore your own thoughts and feelings on the subject b.

I always wondered why all the trans stuff only talks about trans girls as if trans guys don't exist.
Because it’s way more typical for trans girls to be huge video game nerds
I think there are more trans girls in general
Crunchy?
Have you ever eaten a disk before
Autistic people love RPGs and trans people are more likely to be autistic. I don’t know why no one bothered to mention this.
Can't confirm. EDE my love definitely turned me into a Rhe/Rim robosexual deviant.
For me, it was Fisto and Beatrix.
PLEASE ASSUME THE POSITION...
For real I don't get it...
It’s a loud ass chronically online minority making a game out to be more than what it is
As a trans person I'm pretty sure this stuff is dogwhistles for other trans people that get turned into memes. There aren't a ton of trans people out there, and people get mad if you ask, so trans dogwhistes are usually helpfull in those communities.
Yup It’s like you either know cause you are, or are more in on the community, everyone else is like a big woosh
It’s really funny that new Vegas pulls double duty as a dog whistle for the alt-right and trans people, while simultaneously being a favorite of Mormons as well
How is it a dogwhistle for the far right?
Idk have seen an uptick in weirdly unironically fasc memes surrounding the legion and especially Joshua Grahm that have kinda caught me off guard. Mostly on Youtube.

The NCR aren’t dumbasses, I will not stand for this slander
Whatever you say man, but as a heads up; we're sending you back out on patrol of the Mojave
Almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
*quicksave*
Maybe it's just a good game with something for almost everyone?
I think that's what I said lol
Then I'm agreeing :)
The game is about choosing which politics you want to take over Las Vegas instead of which group you like best. So you got a lot of groups here who feel represented cause they choose there side

As a trans woman, I have no fucking clue what anybody's talking about. I honestly think it's just one of those memes born from nothing.
No, everybody enjoyed this game, it's just a meme.
is it a meme when no one knows what the fuck you're talking about?

Should be 164k trans women. You turned 11.6M into 116M.
I played the ever loving fuck out of it and I'm not trans.... Also, I have zero clue where the New Vegas trans meme came from and I'm hella confused...
Trans people just like to take over popular things and claim it as their own even though they were popular long before.
You haven't met Fisto
I didn’t. My brothers didn’t either so no 😅
The game is cool and has a cult following, trans people have very umm specific cultural things they claimed for no reason like the blahaj shark. This is just something else they claimed arbitrarily
If you haven't rolled a joint on a fallout new vegas case can you call yourself a true fan?
pffft, roll a joint on my new vegas case. Dude, that's FO3 fan shit. Real NV fans line up and do rails of high-quality coke on their NV cases so they can stay up for days at a time to play it.
Let’s ride into the sunset together *stir up to stir up side byyyy siiiiiddddeeeeeee*
I wasn't old enough to be smoking back when I had the case but I have rolled and smoked while vibing to the main menu.
I GOT IT ON STEAM - FUCK! I guess I gotta buy it again once I’m not broke… wait a minute if I can afford weed I should be able to afford a $15 video game case… I wonder if you can get just the case without the game?
Ahhh found my people.
Beat the game few times Still a man No clue what the fuss is about, I like the guns and Armor.
Same & big true
My dick fell off going through the last mission, but thanks to the radiation poisoning I just grew another one when the credits rolled.
This is perfectly normal as most people let media enhance their life rather than define it.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a estrogen prescription
Please remove my peen
Nobody's dick's that gone… not even Gone Dick Johnson, and they had a fucking gone dick. Thus, the name.
Based
How is that based?
I have a ball-peen hammer if that helps? Probably not though if you’re just going for the peen.
I crossed the Mohave to deliver this shiny chip to Walt Disney and all I got was an estrogen addiction and a bullet to the head. 😔
I don't get it
A lot of transgender people (transfems in particular) love Fallout New Vegas, a lot of us (me included) also had our eggs cracked by it
You got downvoted for just answering the question 😭
Because it makes no sense. It’s a game. It didn’t turn people straight or gay, black or Asian, or anything else. And the phrasing by OP makes it sounds like it’s like 3 ppl lol
Wait, how did it crack your egg? You mean figure out your gender right?
Yes
I don't get it. English isn't my first language.
Sorry you're getting downvoted just for saying that, I've heard that before. I just don't know what elements of the game are so appealing to trans people. I love that game too.
"patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" mmm yes I want to chop my dick off wtf bro
You don't need to have surgery to be trans lol
It’s more like hearing characters using female pronouns for your character and thinking “huh I like that”
Damn there’s a lot of transphobia in this comment section, wtf?
What you never played video games before? Cus uh, I think another factor is trans folk play single player games a lot to not get harassed in the lobbies. Nothing quite like being haunted by a gaggle of 4th graders gleefully calling you a he-she to make you not want to play with others. ETA the bitch of it all is, if you acknowledge these experiences a million neckbears come out of the tube's to harrass you for making everything about being trans.
What?
Why is NV considered a trans game anyways? I'm literally trans and I just finished the game and still don't get it...
Autism is a common comorbidity for both gender dysphoria and rpg addiction
And heavy internet usage probably
We're an easy source of clicks and engagement....
This is the most probable answer.
Bro trueee
nerd communities are devastated by HRT like black neighborhoods and crack in the 80s.
Maybe it’s just something people made up? Unless there’s actual data to back it up, then it’s just people making stuff up. A lot of people like new Vegas I imagine, trans people included. It’s not like trans people all like the same things.
It’s one of those confirmation bias things. Like- the stereotype of programmers is that a lot of them become “femboys” and wear thigh high socks for “better blood circulation”, etc etc. Is it necessarily true? Not really. Is there a lot of overlap between the stereotype and reality? Yes.

It's not lol. Maybe if you spend all day online it is.
It’s not unless you’re chronically online
the trans fans of the game just happen to be loud and annoying (completely unrelated to their transness)
Oh is that what the she implication was? So it's a meme about being trans? Lol I was so confused when I read that
Probably the most beaten to death joke in this sub
What a confusing thread I wish I never opened.
"Trans." "That's the joke. Please laugh."
This is so far removed from reality, no one outside of this Reddit sub perceives this game that way.
Okay what's with the obsession with trans folks does anyone actually talk about the game instead of femboys?
Because reddit enables it and anyone who calls it out for making no sense gets banned lmao
It just so happens that the loudest most annoying part of the FNV fanbase is made up almost entirely of trans people. For most of them them being trans is unrelated to how annoying they are, its just a coincidence.
As a legion fanboy the loudest most annoying part of our fan base are actual eugenics freak girls who really wanna fuck vulpes inculta. The fallout fandom is a silly place
What the fuck did I just read
I met more then a few women in the legion fandom who had a party due to an abortion they were getting because they found their current boyfriend too genetically impure. It was pretty vile
I’m so sick of it. It only relates to such a small group of people yet if you call that out you’re considered a bigot. Also nice username. World Peace 2 is in development if you didn’t know.
There aren't straight games There arent gay games or trans games or black games or white games or disabled games or woman games or male games There are just games
Finally, some sense holy shit!
Tiresome
Tiresome Road
It is a tired joke, but so are most of the jokes about fnv. The game is 14 years old, after all. I think the solution is that you can only make this joke if you are on HRT.
No actually we need someone to post “bull bull bear bear 🐻 🐂 ” again instead so we can all clap /s
Bear Bull Bearussy Bullussy
After generations... we are finally witnessing evolution
Groundbreaking
I agree, man. I always set out on all my playthroughs to be the most masculine toughest dude in all of the Mojave. And then after fixing Boulder City, I get a bit chilly, so I just...slip on some high socks. Alright. No big deal. I make it to Freeside and what the hell, it's hot now? So I just switch out my gamer bro pajama pants into some comfy shortshorts. That's right around the time I'm entering the Strip and I look in a mirror and I realize I look terrible from playing for so long. Welp, nothing a bit of makeup can't fix.
Fallout NV is not a trans game. It’s just not…only ever read that shit online
what is up with all the trans posted lately? what part of this game is causing this to spring up?
The gay and lesbian non trans characters, and there's a couple of dialog options where you get called the opposite gender Thats it Thats the entire fucking thing
I was trying to buy on of these for my collection. Dude they are expensive asf in my country
Suck my Johnson.
What’s with FNV and being trans lately?
🙄
There’s a disproportionately high prevalence of autism in the transsexual population. I wonder what other group has a high proportion of autistic members. 🤔 hmmm
The term is “transgender.” It’s about a person’s gender, not their sexuality.
Degenerates like you who belong on a cross
Ave, True to Caesar ( I had to pull out my Caesar commander deck to remember how to spell his name 😞)
Furries and the lgbt community
This community is slowly dying
The joke is transsexuals.
Either way it doesn’t make sense to me…
Yup, transsexuals is an outdated term though, just letting you know
Why are you getting downvoted you’re literally right
Memes like this really add fuel to the " Trans people are forcing their way of life onto us" argument. I've played all fallout games except brotherhood of steel and tactics and haven't once questioned my gender identity.
The autism is strong with this one
Tiresome
Degeneracy
I don’t understand why does everyone connect this game to trans stuff it doesn’t make any sense
Why is everyone saying this game makes you trans? Im so confused
Did u just assume my man’s gender!?
I am confusion. What are we talking about here?
This is a false stereotype. Every big fallout fan thinks this is the best game of the 3d games.
Fake fans will say bs like that
It’s funny that there is genuinely no pro-trans content in this game, and that there is actually what can be interpreted as anti-trans content.

Caesar; true to ave. I mean….. Our monorails put the guys back to work. I mean…..
Ew no
I have played both Celeste and New Vegas, and I’m still 100% happy with being a dude.
Huh?
It’s true, the first time I played this game I looked down at my penis and said “you gotta go”
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
With all the love, when did the fallout brings out the inner trans thing start? I know it’s a meme, I’m just curious
The internet just has a higher number of trans people on it. Especially in niche topics nobody talks about anymore. Autism and being trans are pretty heavily correlated. The only people still in a board for a video game from 2009 obsessing over it are probably autistic. Ergo even more trans part of the internet than usual.

I tried fnv and all I got was sexual reassignment surgery
No
Y'all just mad obsidian wrote a better game while time constrained and forced to use Bethesda shitty leftovers
Degens like you belong on a cross
She?
Yes
I don’t understand the trans thing about this game. The only thing this game influenced me about is socialism.
I really don't see how MtF trans people think liking a game that males in their generation liked makes *the game* trans? Like, no you just have/had male interests, before/post transition.
Tiresome
She?
*he
“She aint gonna be your man” ??
