#protip: If a guy ever tells you #fanfiction is stupid, ask him how many #Skyrim mods he has installed
seriously, that game is as sprawling and in bed of repair and Homestuck. The difference being that Homestuck and its fanworks explicitly critique toxic masculinity, where Skyrim's fandom begins and ends with nude mods.
@Canageek Skyrim fandom has a decent middle. The beginning and end, though...
@DialMforMara Ok, I can see one end being nude mods, and the stuff from the Loverslab forums. What is the other end?
@Canageek I was trying to be clever by saying the nude mods were at both ends, so whichever end you start at you have to dig through them to get to useful graphics updates and interesting additions to the story
@DialMforMara Acutally, the nexus has really good adult filters so that you don't have to deal with those if you don't want.
There's one Skyrim mod I wish I could have for the PS4 called open cities. Basically takes away the load zone entering and leaving major cities. You can jump the wall! You can fight a dragon in whiterun! You can ride your horse right inside!
No nudity!
@Mainebot There are a lot of lovely things out in the middle of Skyrim fandom, but the beginning and end are problematic.
I don't know about the fandom as a thing unto itself, I only reallllllly touch the modding community from time to time. I've seen a lot of questionable things there, sure.
I think a nude mod isn't inherently a problem, until the community turns it into Gor.
@DialMforMara You realize I have a dozen mods installed and none of them are nude mods, right?
