Between Fallout the Frontier and literally everything going on with the stock market right now, feels like this is a good week to laugh about video game bullshit.

I was thinking more "propriety" and at least some of the devs have a warped sense of it, like other fetishists who feel its not weird and actually very normal to inflict their kinks on unconsenting people

personally I don't think "shame" counts the same as "guilt" - if you had to wait to have everyone screaming at you about snake-people sex to remove it, instead of cutting it as soon as you saw, then you didn't know it was wrong in the first place. this doesn't mean you're an amoral nihilist, just that in this area your social calibration's all hosed up! possibly because you spend too much time on the internet with people that think loving a lizard is normal!

I don't know what particular forums slapfight I've stepped into now and I don't care either. but I think the idea that the mod was developed under black box conditions is ludicrous. someone had the final product before release. someone made trailers and media packages. someone tested it, however perfunctorily. someone knew what was in the mod, and didn't do their due diligence

I'm not saying you're wrong but I am saying this is a lot funnier than I think you intended it to be.

The culture of modding on nexus meant basically everybody was inured to Weird Fucky Bullshit with no real sense of shame, and if there was anybody who wasn't, they'd get shouted down for harshing someone's deathclaw sex/bomb collar sex slave buzz and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The whole thing could've and should've used a project manager with, just, like, any sense of decency or standards. But what they got was, what, a psycho who screamed at people for wanting to fix his lovely (and embarrassingly badly scripted, both code and writing) NCR campaign? A bunch of horny perverts? One of which was a documented pedo, so when things were going south and they started getting feedback from people outside of nexus' fucky echo chamber, he became the perfect fall guy and patsy to blame for the mod being taken down.

But bear in mind it's not like this guy's body of work was a secret, they all continued to work with him until it became publicly embarrassing. Same with whoever wrote the rest of the hosed up fetish stuff. And lol at presenting the loving Legion or the Titsaders of Steel as "the interesting campaigns" as an alternative to the NCR. I won't be surprised if the creep who wrote the America slave companion questline managed to get away scot-free with the pedo taking all the heat.

Fallout Frontier basically encapsulates the bulk of the issues with modding culture, and the nexus' modding culture in particular. I might feel bad for a lot of the people who just wanted to contribute something cool to a big, ambitious mod but. This is just typical nexus bullshit.

Also, like a huge part of the modding community depends on people making weird sex pervert mods. New animations wouldn't exist if it weren't for people trying to make animated sex in the games, but they never stop at "making an in game romance between adults more explicit."

Porn is literally why VHS beat Betamax. And all those old paintings and statues of ladies with their tits out could've been made without nudity, but but you drat well know that the people commissioning those pieces specifically requested it. When you go back throughout history, turns out humanity is a species of horrible sex perverts.

Still shouldn't put their personal wank material in a game overhaul mod that wasn't advertising itself as porn, though, people gotta have some standards for gently caress's sake.
