Gosh you have to be the most pathetic creature on this planet to want to roll play as the scum of the earth.

This is exactly why I am wary of diehard Brotherhood of Steel and Warhammer 40k fans. If you want to be the fictional fascists, you probably also want to be a real one.
I’ve had multiple people in person tell me about how their 40k friends were basically on the cusp of Nazi rhetoric last time they hung out.
So yes, I’m absolutely in agreement with you.

I've only played Fallout 4 (allied with Railroad) and Fallout New Vegas (allied with NCR, just met BOS). Are they really that bad? I know they want to take everyone's toasters and whatnot.

You won't get the full experience and context without playing 1, 2 and Tactics. But they are still very much xenophobic in NV and 4. They practiced eugenics, they conscript new blood through slavery, and they are also hypocrites about how technology should be used.

Oh shit, that's crazy. Aren't they the good guys in 3? I remember something about different chapters having wildly different beliefs.

40k friends
damn I don't even have one

Here, people are dressing up as cops and going aggro on random players.
So basically the exact same thing that's happening IRL.

The group in 3 broke away from the main BoS for... Reasons. But they were still xenophobic bigots. They just were nicer to non-mutants and wanted to help with the water thing (the only thing "good" about them in 3).

They're the good guys in Fallout 3 in the sense that they've taken it upon themselves to provide clean water and protect people from super mutants. They're also the bad guys in the sense that they make no attempt to discern sapient ghouls from feral ghouls; they shoot all mutants on sight. And of course their chapter had a civil war so there is a splinter faction present in Fallout 3 that clings to the old isolationist tech-hoarder ways.

Um.
- Cops and Robbers
- Cowboys and Indians
- Cosplayers who LARP as villains (e.g. Storm Troopers, Vader, Palpatine, etc).
This is not a new thing, it’s just adapted to the digital age.
"ICE and Mexicans" is my new favourite playground game

Painting miniature models is a slippery slope
