I've never looked too deep into the fallout modding community, but the Elder Scrolls one was extremely autistic.I've been around a lot of people in the modding community for fallout, I can 100% confirm a lot of them have ego problems and will gladly rage-delete their mods for no reason at all most the time, or even resort to using alt-accounts and bots to boost their mods in some rare cases. The Frontier troons are no different in this regard, because they thought what they were making was legitimate art and would be remembered fondly for years to come. It only took a couple of shitposts and people actually playing the damn mod to realize that their magnum opus was nothing more than a wannabe CoD campaign pretending to be metal gear solid and filled in with shitty memes, borrowed assets, bad dialogue, and disgusting fetishes. They basically killed any chance of it being remembered as "the greatest fallout mod ever made".
The ego and autism of much of the Fallout modding community is absolutely worthy of its own thread. I remember there was one modder I used to know through some other modders that threatened to rage delete all his mods and close his discord server because people made shitposts about low effort most of his mods were or how he basically stole mods from other people to add his own "style" to it. Just mentioning one of the memes made about this drama would be enough for him to block and ban you from his server.
Back during the oblivion years it was not abnormal to have frequent sperg outs about assets being stolen, mod authors going ballistic at the slightest criticism, sometimes deleting their own mods as a form of retaliation, and massive egos constantly clashing
I haven't followed what's been happening with Skyrim mods lately, but it must be absolutely dreadful because already by 2016 you had mod authors nuking their mods because the wrong presidential candidate won and people bitching about mod descriptions being supposedly offensive
