Rejected Fallout 2 Childkiller Vault Boy Image Surfaces

I expect this to flood the forums as an avatar.

I liked it.

I laughed.

Political Correctness be damned.

AMEN TO THAT.

i laughed, if only a little.

Fallout 3 desperately needs that achievement. Fucking hate those Little Lamplight bastards.

If MacCready is going to point that gun at me, I say I should be able to put a few 5.56mm rounds right in his little punk face.

I'm a little dismayed by the number of people who think that this is funny. I'm struggling to see the humour in it myself.

It's Vault Boy. It's Fallout. It's for a reputation called "child killer" and it's about kicking a pregnant woman in the stomach. What's NOT to like.

Also, and this point seems rather lost on you, it's NOT REAL. IT IS A DRAWING.

A drawing you say? Oh, I'm so glad you told me, I thought it was real!

Sarcasm aside, I'm not sure why it being a drawing should make it funny and I don't think that I'm the weird one for not falling off my chair laughing.

But is IT really worse than, say, shooting parameics in GTA, or Manhunt?

I'm not sure how that's at all relevant. We're not talking about Manhunt or GTA, are we? We're not even really talking about Fallout.

What we're talking about is people seeing a cartoon of a pregnant woman being kicked in the stomach and finding it funny.

"Kick the baby Ike!"

"Don't kick the-"

 

[SomeBritishDude]

"Kick the baby Ike!"

"Don't kick the-"

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah...Kind a of a fucked up decision on Bethesdas part.

"Yeah, we've decided to remove child killing from Fallout 3."

"Good move. It wouldn't have been safe to do now-a-days. So, you got any ideas for towns?"

"Yep! We've designed a cave full of fucking annoying kids who all point guns at you, hate you, call you names and will cause you go half way across the wasteland to get past them."

"Brilliant!"

 

[Straitjacketeering]

I think it's a keeper. >.>

I'm not sure how that's at all relevant. We're not talking about Manhunt or GTA, are we? We're not even really talking about Fallout.

Because a drawing of a pregnant woman being kicked in the stomach is just the same as shooting a group of pixels, I.E. not real. I don't see you sounding off on the fact that Fallout 2 actually LET you kill children, regardless of whther or not you got this pic if you did.

No-one here is saying "OMG the only way this would be funnier if it happened FOR REALZ!!11" We are finding it funny because A) Someone actually went there (to hell with political correctness) and B) The picture itself is funny.

What an...... odd image

Exactly, honestly it seems these days people are just getting pissed off for the sake of being pissed of. This picture is funny, not murderous or monstrous. Fallout is actually pretty good at being light hearted in dark situations. Look at other nuclear apocalypse settings in books or movies such as Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", the most depressing book ever. Fallout is funny, and is never to be taken seriously, and if you do, your an idiot.

I merely said it was odd, its still fucking hilarious, but it is definitely an oddity

You know what? Forget it. You're not getting what I'm saying, and I don't think I can make my point any more simply than I already have.

It's not exactly "laugh out loud" funny, or even a funny concept. It's more that the guy had the audacity to draw something like that and that the image is of something that is quite disturbing portrayed in the light hearted comical style of the Fallout Pip-Boy.

At least, that's why I find it amusing. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are just sadistic, or pretending to be.

I get exactly what you are saying. This drawing sickens you and the fact that anyone has a different opinion than you on that also sickens you. That fact that you can't see what I'm getting at when I say "This picture = Not ok, Shooting paramedics in GTA = OK" also shows me I am also wasting my time. But I kind of figured that would be the case from the start.

Also, since putting it on Facebook, I've had an overwhelmingly positive response to it. From various female friends of mine who have children. Make of that what you will.

 

[Olikunmissile]

Is it wrong that I find that image funny?

Hell if it's wrong I don't want to be right. I laughed.

Still, the only people to take offence to this will need to be really out for attention.

Personally speaking, I've seen, read and heard heaps more sickening stuff than this in movies, pictures, music (AnalC**t or Macabre anyone?) and novels. So yes, I can appreciate the humour of the picture. Sadism has nothing to do with it, it's not like I'm condoning actually kicking pregnant women in the womb.

What the hell was the guy thinking who REQUESTED this.

As the article says, he didn't he requested an image to go along with the childkiller reputation. This was one of the products.

He was asked to make a drawing, who requested the drawing, they knew full well it wouldn't be anything P.C enough to release.

 

[Marsell]

epic fail.
The internet has marked you.

I doubt any parent would find this funny, especially mothers. They were damn right to cut it.
