The brotherhood are racist assholes who can't accept that things have changed
English
-
Synths are not a race, they are machines
-
Synths can be people like Kellogg who just had a synth chip in his brain and they are also racist to ghouls and super mutants
-
I will agree that Ghouls are people because they were normal at some point, but I do not agree that Supermutants are human (but they are a race if you are speaking overall big picture) because they are put through vats of the FEV and the process destroys their mind (and reproductive organs lol) and they no longer consider themselves human, but the wastelands "master race" (hence why I consider them a race). Synths on the other hand, are not people, but machines made to look, talk, and act like a human. THEY ARE NOT PEOPLE. THEY ARE MERELY LINES OF PROGRAM IN A SHELL.

Super mutants are not humans, I agree on that but the brotherhood wants to wipe all things that aren't human anymore and I think that since the synths have an individual personality and are capable of doing good out of their own free will is a human trait even though they aren't... Squishy.
