Dude you're just making shit up. At least in the early days of your little psychotic episode you were limiting yourself to taking stuff out of context so people who didn't know better might believe you without brain damage, now I think only people as batshit as you are would take you at your word. Do you hear how deranged you sound? "Nuka mods and friends joked about finding a former mod and beating her and siccing dogs on her irl?" Take your meds and quit making your psychosis our problem. This isn't funny, and whatever friends you have need to find help for you rather than enabling your bullshit. It's just pathetic at this point.

Ok, great, let's talk. This was prompted by Brook noticing that I had interacted with - not posted on - a subreddit where he is one of several mods. He proceeded to announce that he'd "got my reddit account."

NP leaders are seeking alliances with small communites, where they have built narrative control or used pre-existing connections to isolate the people from being warned. All I had to do to trigger public harassment from Brook was message a mod on reddit asking to talk. The mod was receptive and kind - it was only Brook who did not approve.

In January 2025, four long-standing representatives of Nukapedia, the Fandom Fallout wiki, engaged in conversations of a violent and sexually degrading nature on "Fallout Federation," with Rads and Brook, the administrators of that server. Context and proofs are provided below.

In 2024, the Nukapedia admin team acknowledged on Discord that bigoted and eugenecist-adjacent beliefs had long been under-punished, and announced an intention to do better. They did not. This year, head admin DJ manually unbanned a flagrant christofascist whose first and only edit was blanking the LGBT page. A "three strikes system" is still blatantly exploited to protect trolls and silence good actors ("white knights") at the discretion of a biased inner circle.

In November, a founding member of the modern community acknowledged the presence of racist and alt-right actors at Nukapedia.

If this community is to have a future outside of becoming a new No Mutants Allowed full of aging alt right Fallout enthusiasts complaining about how no one wants to join them, DJ has to go. Mediating the situation on the terms of the people responsible for this is not going to change things, and frankly I don't think they can continue to be part of this community. The siege mentality of the group he represents is detrimental to the wider community, and its on full display here - [...] not everyone wants to go back to the old days, so a new enemy is needed. Anachorite and people like her represented a future for Nukapedia after Kdarrow, but because that future had different politics, it needed to go. [...] hiding behind the shield of centrism and being apolitical to suppress actual centrists and moderate leftists while enabling alt right users to spew conspiracy theories and racist nonsense in the name of impartiality is insulting. [...] DJ is unfit to represent Nukapedia and his actions are actively pushing away anyone interested in creating a new future for it instead of recreating and reinforcing the past. - Aiden4017 (talk) 26 October 2024 Aiden, having left, how do you know things have gotten worse? (just joking) We shouldn't be commenting our views on this forum while it's locked. It's not fair to others. - intrepid359 10/26/24

Content Mod Aiden was removed and dragged for this comment in March of 2025 after contesting an improper inactivity notice, and the entire event was censored in April. Now, anyone who acknowledges racism at Nukapedia is bullied and punished, on the grounds of "spreading harmful misinformation about our community," "participating in a misinformation campaign," and "taking a game website too seriously," even though an admin addressed the presence of racism at NP in 2024.

In January 2025, a community server called Fallout Federation was in talks to be linked to the wiki. I was previously acquainted with one of the admins, and tried to warn him about the danger at Nukapedia, but was only met with skepticism impervious to evidence.

I have obscured part of the username of "User G" because Rads and Brook admitted to me they suspect him to be underage, despite Fallout Federation being an 18+ server, and despite engaging in explicit conversations with him. The FF admins asked "G" to produce screenshots where their group mocked the owner of the Independent Fallout Wiki on the grounds that she was a "whore."

Four Nukapedia representatives can be seen in these screenshots: community leader and policy author Leon/"O'saa"/"Janasci", dominant admin UrbanAngel/"siha", dominant mod Don, and dominant former mod intrepid359. All four were acting as formal representatives of Nukapedia during these conversations.

I rased concerns about the way they were talking about Kate, and was told by both admins that Kate deserved this. I tried to explain that no woman should be spoken about this way, but I was told this was an "edgy community" where I should expect that sort of thing.

I raised concerns about alt-right beliefs being espoused in FF. I was told by Rads that alt-right rhetoric is allowed in FF.

When I began razzing other members on their server to fit in with the supposed "edginess" of the room, I was quickly told by both admins that I had become "a troll." I was ultimately banned, but not before an incident where Leon made misogynistic comments to provoke me and bury another conversation. Admin Urban tried to mediate by saying that he had her permission to make these 'jokes.'

When I mentioned the Kate incident on my blog, I received a message from Rads once again chastising me for humanizing Kate.

I also received a furious series of messages from "G", who firmly threatened to sue me if I talked about FF. He repeated the Nukapedia propaganda line - I am 'Kate 2.' This is the same user who harassed Kate, called her a "sand whore" and talked about her "punchable face" among other severe comments.

Users of the Nukapedia Discord have been stalking and harassing me for a period of over one year. They have mocked and disrespected my mourning. They attempted to dox me and mocked the death of my cat. They are still attacking me with throwaway accounts, trying to dehumanize me to hide the abuse at Nukapedia. They are stalking me across five platforms now. Why the fuck should I tolerate that? Because I tried to get the "anti-woke anti-marxist" Intrepid359 banned for his stalking, racism, and abuse?

Many relevant discussions are still publicly available on the NP server, how could I "take them out of context?" Your admins still won't acknowledge the Hand Banana Incident. Go search 'hand banana', go read it in #neighborhood-watch. Intrepid359 and Boink were both recognized by staff as racist trolls and they viciously menaced, defamed, and gaslit a minor of color, while Boink's username was "hand banana." No staff member has ever acknowledged Intrepid's messages on 6/25/24. They still cannot admit what they all watched him do. He is surrounded by silence and joyless :joy: emojis. Believe your eyes over their words. If your server cannot acknowledge what Intrepid359 did on 6/25/24, then something is deeply wrong.

With the endorsement of your leaders, Brook and Rads began slandering me on NP, centered on the notion that I was 'too nice' to specific users on their 18+ server, one of whom they believe to be a minor. Again, in their 18+ server where they talked about "whores" with the same user they're feigning concern for. Rads has even admitted I did not do anything wrong, but insists that his "intuition" tells him that I am the lowest kind of human being.

They allege that when I joined their voice chat, I said something sexual - I shared a story with the two of them, where I'd told a stoned friend that "Elton John's dick" had simply "exploded" and he believed me. They laughed, and that was the end of the conversation. Now they've reimagined this event with vague, shocking details. They knowingly slandered me in the most serious possible way to intimidate me out of showing proof of their past actions.

Guilty Nuka personnel will endorse any slander towards me because I am holding their inner circle accountable for abuses they felt justified in committing. Even the misogynistic language Brook uses doesn't seem to matter - as we've learned, Enemies Of The Group are acceptable targets for misogyny, and caring about that misogyny will mark you as a "sympathizer," an Enemy Of The Group.

Brook said 'anyone who listens to Anachorite is more mentally challenged than she is.' I am mentally disabled. He dehumanizes me and anyone who listens to me on the grounds that I am mentally disabled.

Rads postured as concerned for me in his DM, while attacking me in public, a private demonstration of dominance. Your leaders treat the baseless lies of these bad actors as gospel, and hide inconvenient proof.

Your leaders do not speak anywhere we are not silenced. They've spent the past year hatestalking and harassing banned users, attempting to discredit and silence us by any means available wherever we might speak, because our voices matter.

As long as they convince their echo chamber that dissidents are demons, they'll be allowed to hide evidence, play victim, and indulge bigotry.

Fallout.Fandom.Com is the first link when you google fallout+anything, and despite Fandom condemning the Discord server, Nukastaff recently integrated the server widget into the site UI on every page with no statement. They are funnelling people offsite, they torment anyone who tells the truth, they create confusion, and they play dumb. It is an institution of abuse which harms vulnerable people by design. Too many kids have been hurt. Too many people are scared to speak. Addressing the danger Nukapedia poses to our community is absolutely necessary.

Nukapedia is place where alt-right rhetoric is often tolerated on principle, but calling it out is punished as defamatory or disruptive. This is typical of their style of denial and punishment. They begin by using emotional blackmail against anyone who steps out of sync with the leaders - "Come on, you're better than that. You're being disruptive. You're taking it too seriously." If that does not immediately work, they jump to silencing and defamation.

They enforce their doublethink ruthlessly, maintaining a room full of people who will always allow them to lie - either out of faith or fear. They'll deny you the language to acknowledge what you are seeing, they'll punish you for being honest, and they'll call it "policy."

They strictly converse in situations where they are in complete control, where they dictate reality for the room without burden of proof, and where all proof can be denied, hidden, and punished. They insist you block and attack their outcasts before they have a chance to speak - when the echo chamber cracks, they have to contend with reality.

I have helped too many survivors to deny that Nukapedia is dominated by an effective and dangerous high-control group.

The inner circle freely abuse and lie, they hunt former members, they create confusion, and they play dumb. It is dangerous and it cannot continue. Users are pressured to block outcasts and mock them from inside the bubble, because those who speak with us tend to realize something is very wrong at Nukapedia. And nobody with concerns about the in-group can be allowed to speak as Leon's equal.

The people you're tormenting are cult survivors. The behavior you're trying to eradicate is reviewing evidence. Your group is dedicated to avoidance and harassment over diplomacy because your group is structurally a cult. You are pressured to prove your loyalty by rooting out dissidents, displaying limitless hatred of former members, and rejecting all evidence from 'outsiders.' You treat anyone who speaks to outcasts as tainted, broken, alien, and criminal.

DJ, Leon, and Brook tell you I am medically psychotic - as in, they want you to think that your group has driven me insane - and they still lead you in hatestalking me over a year after I was banned. I didn't even fucking post anything this time, and you people are leering over previous blog posts and harassing me because Brook saw me message his peer on reddit.

People who talk to me are called "anach sympathizers" and treated as cognitohazards. Your leaders and their in-group repeatedly sought to discredit me on tumblr because they want to control the narrative outside their bubble, too. But I'm an established member of the community telling the truth, and they have nothing but verbal attacks and denial.

You need to move past the notion that your leaders bear zero responsibility for the state of things. Read up on breaking control tactics of high-control groups and abusers. I had to learn a lot to process what happened to me, and to help others navigate the situation and heal.

They get away with everything by harming good actors to the point of surrendering for their own wellbeing. I will not stop fighting for accountability, and I am not alone. This ends when your leaders are held accountable for the safety of the community. Thanks for writing. - The Anachorite

One of the light-touch worldbuilding/storytelling/dramatic irony moments I really enjoy in Fallout: New Vegas is everything to do with Aurelius of Phoenix, the Legion Slavemaster operating Cottonwood Cove. Nested bit here, right? On first glance it seems like psuedo-Latin gibberish, something grandiose but divorced from meaning, like a lot of the Legion guys- but then you do the double take and realize it's a cognomen, a nickname Romans would receive based on great achievements or conquests-e.g. Scipio Africanus- and that implicitly this is the guy who helped sack the actual former city of Phoenix in Arizona. Stealth Future-imperfect trope, disguised at first glance because "Phoenix" is already a kind of grandiose mythologic-sounding word. And when you realize that, right, it's suddenly very funny, for the same basic reason The Republic of Dave is funny- grandiose terminology juxtaposed with a mundane name from the world we recognize. If it were Aurelius of Boise, Aurelius of Cincinnati, right, there are cities you could use in the pairing that would cause it to parse as much more of an explicit gag. So now it's silly in the way everything about the Legion is silly. But then it wraps back around to actually kind of unnerving, because first off, basically it's an offhand implication of something very nasty having gone down in Phoenix, A City From Real Life That We Recognize, in order for him to have gotten a whole Cognomen out of it. And second, it's obviously not a coincidence that his name doesn't sound dumb. Caesar isn't gonna let a subordinate quote-unquote "earn" a cognomen unless it's useful to him, unless it enhances the brand somehow, and having a guy named "Aurelius of Phoenix" walking around, well, it does do that! It feels calculated. It's not the kind of name that's downstream of cultural decay and half-remembered information. It's another example of how Caesar micromanages his slave army down to their very names, and how he lifts random superficial elements of Roman culture on an ad-hoc basis without integrating any of it on a deeper level. A lot going on, with this one guy's goofy name!

Here's the comic I made for War Never Changes, a Fallout charity zine that's still available to puchase digitally here: link.

The captions are lyrics from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I've been dreaming of making this for literal Years, and the mods for the zine let me do it for them! I'm still pretty proud of it, and only regret that I completely forgot to replace Col. Hsu with General Lee Oliver in the final. Sorry man.

bethesda making a vault origin into the unshakable cornerstone of their fallout is especially ridiculous when you put it into perspective and drill down on it, realizing that even in fallout 1, the game that sets that precedent, the archetype of the character as The Vault Dweller is like, entirely irrelevant. it's very much just the inciting plot and very rapidly becomes nothing to the character as they adapt to being simply a wastelander. day 1, tandy is referring to you as a traveller. most people dont even believe you if you mention being from a vault, if they even believe vaults are real at all. its such a minuscule part of a vast world and to make it the epicenter of the franchise is just so boneheaded. you think if fallout 2 released and it was just like okay, here you go. you're from a Different Vault this time! different number, same suit! yep. go do basically everything you already did, but palette swapped to some different enemies, different names for basically the same towns, the same general cast of ragtag characters. virtually no world progression as everything has to stay run down ruins and scrap shanties. im just saying i dont think it wouldve gone over as well

fallout faction that has a quasi-religious obsession with fighting communism and purging communism because that’s what the prewar propaganda says. communism is evil and anti-freedom and the destruction of civilisation and anti-human and tyrannical and evil. but you take like a closer look at their power structure and society and its deeply obvious that they’re literally massive communists

Most underrated moment in fnv is how during you’ll know it when it happens you can get up to the platform where president kimballs vertibird lands with speech check of 50 and the line is just “pretty please”
