Chinese Comunist Costume

[jman263]

When going through the vault-tec projection slides I came across an ad for a costume company. I never gave it really any thought before, but suddenly I realised something very odd about one of the costumes.

Why would an american company produce a chine soldier uniform. It might not be a big deal for us in the real world, but in that kind of scenario it would be like dressing your child like a Nazi during World War II. Why would Bethesda add this in? Was it to create such controversy? Or were they just not that observant?

Note that Chinese uniforms in Fallout are virtually identical to the ones Red Army wore and in the series USA & USSR are bros (or at least don't hate each other like with China), so either these were Russian or Chinese uniforms are not that much of a taboo.

 

[Sub-Human]

Yeah, I agree. Aren't the children supposed to hate the Chinese? No one would want to buy such a costume.

It was for early role-playing: some poor kid had to be the villain in their games,yes?

Lol most likely. Sounds like it would be fun too.

It's a halloween costume.

Grr, look daddy, I'm dressed up as a chinese menacing red monster!

Way to go, son. Good job. I salute you.

We must all do our part.
