I just tried editing the independent fallout wiki and man, they are some real stick in the muds about how you write

i think about it in terms of legal theory:

the culture of nukapedia currently moves towards building a more useful and interesting website for fallout fans. implicit end of. if your additions are accurate and decently written, or even just clear in intent, that is usually enough to survive the peer revision process.

whereas IFW seems to generally move towards the notion that existing policy can be applied to corporate materials to prescribe a perfect article, and it is the editor's job to fill that article in and leave. nearly all verbiage is lifted directly from citations and presented as plainly as possible. 'apparently-non-objective' observations are aggressively bounced at the door. Therefore, All Text On IFW Is Objective, Definitive, And Could Not Possibly Be Mistaken By Anyone For Misinformation Under Any Circumstances.

it's really hard to get deductive observations to stick over there unless you can cite something reputable to legitimize it, like, say, kotaku headlines

which, in practice, gives things a certain... "kotaku headlines about fallout" flavor... but it's the most objective way

i submitted several detailed passages on my passions, but i couldnt cite a kotaku article, so the section was blanked. when i tried to acknowledge my favorite piece of fallout lore a prominent member called for my punishment

i mean. i guess people dont really talk about this? the fandom fallout wiki is the one with very formal and self-serious democratic structures & ifw is the one structured such that the owner has final say + (afaik) individually appoints the mod team

like frankly im very hesitant to describe my experience using that website because its community seems to take the criticism quite personally, and tend to respond with personal remarks or actions that don't seem appropriate to me. idk how to even describe my experience without saying things they might characterize as malicious slander. Just speaking from personal experience they publicly declared me a fucking idiot across tumblr and discord for the tandi comparison post, & on discord further maligned individual fallout fans who commented on my posts in tags.

to continue the church metaphor ive used in the past, the new vatican does not tolerate blasphemy.

fuck it. idk how else to hedge this. if pissed-off IFW ppl find this: hi. i think it would be a strategic miscalculation to respond to this punitively or vindictively. i advise trying diplomacy or leaving me alone. i did not namedrop anyone because i am not interested in personally maligning anyone. this is a sincere post about a website. it would be weird of you to hunt for people describing problems with your website + respond by screencapping their names and indicting them as malignant idiots. if you feel this is an unfair characterization, please demonstrate by simply not doing it now.

Requesting financial support for a local artist.

T-Rex Talents is an incredible FX artist I have had the honor of witnessing the work of, who is currently in a rough spot. In his words:

My name is Logan. I'm a 29 year old disabled makeup fx artist. I've broken bones over 300 times and had 19 surgeries. Leaving me wheelchair bound. And needing many medical necessities. And Art as my only outlet from said struggles. Unfortunately I had to relocate to a new state due to family tragedy. Relocating has caused unforeseen issues. Therefore I do not have insurance that covers all I need for my chronic illness. Also it's caused me to leave behind all my art/makeup fx supplies. However the main concern is medical supplies. As we've exhausted every outlet for help. Including charities, case workers, and more. My mom is unable to work due to no insurance for home health aids to care for me while she does. My disease causes severe pain every day. Worrying about finances for medical supplies such as incontinence supplies, and other stuff is just another stress. And not having any outlet with none of my art supplies is making it worse. My dream is to make people see that someone disabled can be successful in the film industry. But I feel like my current situation makes it nearly impossible. I can't afford art materials when I'm trying to afford medical supplies. And not even affording that. There's no help here.

“cyberpunk future where you need to make payments on your cybernetics or they get repo’d” is good, but doesn’t go far enough. consider cyberpunk future where the terms of service restrict how you can use your augments and implants — your prosthetic hands physically quake and lock up if you try to use them for things your medical company deems “a risk factor” (which somehow includes protesting the very same biomedical conglomerate), and your eyes automatically blur information that tells you how to improve or update augments yourself. but even surrounded by this much greed, widespread underground communities exist of people helping one another jailbreak their titanium bodies, recapturing the autonomy corporations have methodically stripped away from them.
